At the Dumb Little Man this week, Leo Babuata offers "Seven Secrets of the Super Organized". As with most of the articles I read on this topic, I am left thinking:
"What's wrong with me! I know all of this stuff! Why not just do it?"
I enjoyed Leo's suggestion that in order to avoid being overwhelmed and frustrated at the start of trying to get yourself organized, you start slowly and in small steps. I think one of his best suggestions is "A Place for Everything". In 21 years of being married to my wonderful husband, I have never once known him to lose his keys. That is because they are always in one of three places – the ignition of his car, his pocket, or the special "key spot" in our bedroom. It's actually a little irritating to folks like me who like to be kept in suspense about the location of their car keys (kidding!).
One of my goals for the summer is to actually implement the many things I have read and learned about getting organized – that is going from reading about/writing about being organized to actually doing it!
