ANOTHER challenge? Aren’t I just wrapping up an exercise challenge and here I am back for more??
Yes. But I’M not running this one! =P
My favorite organizer has brought my favorite organizing challenge back by popular demand (or so I assume) and just in time because I. Need. It.
February is the month where I’m going to start dedicating more time to housecleaning and organizing to get us out of this little pig sty. During the month of January, while spending mucho tiempo building an exercise habit, I have also been working on building a few other habits. Like staying on top of the dishes, and trying to pay attention to when the kids bring stuff out and have them put it up as soon as they are done. You won’t believe this, but since I cleaned out my fridge I have wiped up every little dribble immediately and it still looks clean. It’s amazing how that works!
But now that February is around the corner it’s time to kick that up a notch. I have a lot of habit building, purging and cleaning to do! And also a bit of organizing.. which brings us to this challenge.
In a few months we’re going to be moving, and that house (unlike this one) actually has a home office! How nice will THAT be?! Right now I have a desk and printer stand in my living room, a file cabinet in my closet, a mail basket that has been moved from living room to dining room and back so many times I’ve lost count.. ahh!! At various points I’ve organized some of those pieces. But I’ve never done a complete overhaul on everything home office related. All of our paperwork and billing stuff, all of our office supplies and incoming mail. Not all at once. And with a real home office looming in the near future, it only seems fitting that I purge everything unnecessary BEFORE it gets moved over– don’t you think?
While I don’t want to go crazy buying organizational storage and whatnot before we actually move, what I DO want to do is organize each of the “pieces” to our puzzle as much as possible. I need to organize all our cd-roms and other computer related cds. I need a desk drawer organizer to hold pens and pencils and paperclips. That sort of thing, you know? Nothing over the top. But A system would be better than NO system, so that’s what I am going for. Oh! And this would also be a good time to get a small fireproof safe box for important documents, wouldn’t it?? I need to sit down and make a list of specific things I want to accomplish.
Well, who else is with me?? Surely you have a little project (or a whole room) that needs organizing?? And did I mention there are PRIZES? That got your attention, didn’t it!! Go check it out at I’m an Organizing Junkie. And let me know, and Laura know, what you’re going to be tackling. Because I’m nosy, and she.. well it’s her challenge and she’d like to know. =P
