I've had a few days to sit down and think about what I want to get done this month. I really didn't sit down though. Why? Because my house is a mess.
Which brings me to my focus for this month -- getting organized!
"I have nothing to wear!"
"Where's that thing for the thing I need to use so I can finish this thing…"
"Where did our TV remotes go?"
"Has anyone seen my keys?"
These are things I say at least once a day, and I'm not exaggerating.
With traveling and working full-time, it's been tough keeping things in order at home. I do get help, thankfully, on the home front but when it comes to my stuff, I'm on my own. I understand this. I've devised a plan that will helpfully get everything neat and tidy and umm…get my closet back.1. Get rid of clothes - It's time to get rid of those shirts that I've kept since high school. Now, I'm an advocate for buying and wearing clothes that will last long after trends fade away, but I should really get a handle on all of these "classic" pieces. Seriously, who needs such a large number of white and black t-shirts and gray sweaters? Sure they go with everything, but having a free shelf or dresser drawer is more important to me. That's why my plan is to use up a weekend to clean my closet!
2. Organize my desk - Easier said than done. I need bookends, desktop organizers, pen holders, you name something from an office supply catalog -- I need it. It's a cluttered mess. My reference books are everywhere, my keyboard is tangled. My mind goes blank whenever I see my poor excuse of a workspace. It's gotten so bad that my reason for not blogging is partially because of the fact I have to deal with my ugly desk.
3. Plan out the blog - I'm neglecting it, and I shouldn't! It makes me sad to think that I'm unknowingly weening myself from blogging. I don't want to do that! I need this blog for me! So, I decided that I would go back to using a calendar for blogging, set up reminders to reflect and share what's been happening and running through my mind. Work has been my top priority these days and it's eating away at me, I need to step back and clear my head. Plus, I really want to share the side projects I've been working on! I hope that I can finish setting up a plan and follow through! I really want to!
These are my little plans for this month. What's the most important thing for you this month?
