Really? One Year to an Organized Work Life Filled with Hapiness?: I'm behind.

Tuesday, February 17, 2009

I'm behind.

I am behind. February is a short month with some pretty lofty goals. Even with working on the assigned tasks on Saturdays at the office in jeans, I am not caught up. I am not worried about it, though, as one size can not possibly fit all. I hereby declare that the first week of March will still be February, and I'll let myself catch up on:

1. the third bookshelf

2. the last drawer that isn't a filing cabinet

3. the yellow bag of personal items that I have accumulated over the years: cough drops, toothpaste, and who knows what else. That will be a good project to dump on the floor and double as a stress reliever. I'll save that for Friday or Saturday, by which time I will definitely need it!

4. the second bookshelf--many local history items, so it will have to wait until next week when the LH librarian returns from vacation

The filing system will still be there for me to adjust and document next week. Unfortunately, it's not going anywhere.

Home Habit of the Month

Month 3: Get rid of and file all mail and incoming paper from school, work, and play as soon as it comes in. (Touch it once!)

Accomplished on: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

This includes reading newspapers and recycling right away and cutting coupons and recycling the remaining paper right away. There are two visual measures to this success in my house.

1. Dining room table free of clutter

2. Kitchen counter free of clutter

On May 1 the dining room table is pristine. The small kitchen counter has a to do pile, which I'll put in a folder so it isn't as noticeable. That way I will have a visual reminder. Is the small counter clear? Yes. Good. No? Take care of it every day!
