The Organization School

Last night I was going trough some of my favorite folders on the internet and ran across a website that I had saved many, many months ago. After looking around the site awhile I ran across this link ~ The Organization School Course ~ Curious, I clicked on it ~ It is the neatest little thing, an online course for organization. I told David last night I was going to be doing school on the computer (heehee) As time permits, I am gonna start looking more into this. Any of you, that know me, know that I lack in this area! I am the most unorganized person and I married the most organized person in the world! Our house, for the most part, is always turned upside down. One of my biggest problems is throwing stuff away! So, our house is one big clutter of mess. I also do not put things where they belong (which is why I can’t find my glasses right now) I have gone through the house looking for a pair of shoes before~ looking under the couch, under chairs, by the door, in the bathroom ~ EVERYWHERE! When I ask David, have you seem my such and such shoes, he will tell me ~ they’re where they are supposed to be ~ the closet ~ And right there they are. It seems that I can never find anything if it is “where it is supposed to be” why ~ because half the time I don’t put things away and I have no system whatsoever! I think it is in me because I have the desire to be organized, to get on some sort of schedule but I just have to discipline myself to do it ~ yet another area that I lack in ~ discipline!
I remember a couple of years ago; After listening to Sandra Felton on Focus on the Family one afternoon, David came home from work and told, he thinks he finally understands me! (When it comes to messes) I can’t remember all that he said, but he did tell me that he used to just think I was lazy until he heard what she had to say. Incase you did not know, I am a Messie too ~ David is a Cleanie ~ To him a pile of stuff on the counter is a big mess ~ to me it is where I keep my notebook, pens & pencils and important papers ~ He cleaned it off on Saturday and instructed me that my notebook has a new home, on top of the fridge! I ended up reading her book Messies Anonymous a couple of years ago but even that did not help! My one Mount Everest turns into like five and before I know it I am so overwhelmed I forgot what I was even doing. For instance, what started out as an innocent attempt at switching winter and spring clothes turned into a huge disaster this past Saturday! I had clothes and boxes everywhere, in my bedroom, the girl’s room and the living room! I got so frustrated that I just threw it all back in my closet and shut the door!
So, dear friends, any tips? Anyone want to join me?
