On my way to being organized

I'm not by nature an organized person.

I want to be because when things aren't in order it makes me a bit cranky.

So I'm going to try and hope it sticks. 

I found this rotating goals list on pinterest and thought it was such a great idea! 

Where better to start being organized than with a list of goals? 

Here's my version: 

I used picnik (while I can!) to create the banner and a sharpie for the boxes.

I decided, for me, it was best to put it in a protective sheet so it does get torn up.

For now I decided to just use a dry erase marker to write in my goals.
I don't have sticky notes and I can rotate my goals that way as well! 

I'm looking forward to using this for all sorts of goals... big and small. 

Motivation doesn't come easily to me, so I'm hoping it will help me get things done I rather not do

or things I've been meaning to do, but just haven't made the time for.

Things that will probably make there way on that sheet super fast are putting the photos that are on the computer onto disks, so the computer isn't so slow and also finishing Braden's baby book. 

I should probably finish that before baby number 2 enters the world! 

I'm also thinking about making these for the fridge! 

Super cute and will hopefully help me be a bit more organized too!

Organization

It's time to link up with Gussy Sews for some inspiration.
This months prompt is ORGANIZATION and let me tell you I need some inspiration in this area. 

I want to be an organized person. I want the apartment not to be such a mess. I want things to have there place. But so far I'm not that type of person. I'm going to work on it! 

The following are organization tips I love.

How cute are these? They'd be perfect in an entry way for mail or above a desk to use as an inspiration board. I always have letters or cards from loved ones that I like to keep. Also, tons of photos!

Speaking of photos. Mine are a mess. I have over 5,000 on my computer and that doesn't include the thousands I've deleted. I'm not very good at keeping them organized and it definitely slows the computer down. This would be a great way to get certain ones off the computer and keep them organized. I really do need to do this!

I've never been good at keeping a planner/calendar. I tell myself to because I'm so forgetful. 

I always tend to forget about appointments until the day before. Thank goodness doctors and such call to remind me! ;) I also have lots of ideas flowing around in my head when it comes what to blog about. This would be a perfect way to remember those ideas. Plus its free and printable. I may be doing this soon!

There are certain things in this house that are a mess. Drawers in the bathroom are one of those things. 

I never would have thought to take silverware tray and turn into something to organize my make up! 

The closet...okay, lets be real, anywhere my clothes are (the bathroom, bedroom, closet...) gets to be a disaster really fast. I'd love for my closet to look like this. Just nice.

I have a lot of work to do.

Tell me. Encourage me.

Happy Thursday
