Ann Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Do you consider yourself an organized person? If so, have you always been organized or did you learn a system that helped you become organized? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nancy B Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 I used to be very organized, but somewhere along the way, I lost it. I am reading "Clean Your Clutter with Feng Shui" and hoping that might help me recover. I am looking forward to getting some really good tips here. Thanks.

melindasue37 Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Heck no, not an organized person. I will listen to any and all tips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginnyde Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 I am reasonably organized. I really try to have a place for everything. I buy a lot of those bins, and drawer things, build shelves in closets, and do things like that. But mostly I approach projects like a jigsaw puzzle, doing a little piece of it at a time. For example, I have a party every year on St. Patrick's day weekend for my Woman's Club and their spouses. This year it is 3/18. I have already put the leaves in the dr. and kitchen tables, changed the candles to green, put the tablecloth through the washer and dryer to get out the fold marks and put it on the table. The prizes for the stupid games are wrapped. Now this is an easy party because people bring a lot of the food. But this weekend I will set out the wine glasses, hang up my Shamrocks etc. I do this approach to everything. I clean out my closet a little bit at a time. I do one shelf at a time in a kitchen cabinet. Nothing seems like too big a project and the 'little' job I am doing gets done well because it is a 'little' job. P.S. You may not look down the basement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann Posted March 9, 2006 Author Share Posted March 9, 2006 Ginny...You are truly amazing!!! I have to confess that I asked this question in hopes I could get some really good tips to help me become organized. Ginny...I have bought a ton of those bins and drawers and it seems the more places I have to "hide" things out of sight, the more unorganized I become. I am now in the process of labeling drawers and bins...lol!!! If I had any good tips, I promise I would share!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kim Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 I am the most unorganized person I know! I'm so unorganized that my unorganization is my organization. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Wood Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Yes, I am an organized person, but have loosened up over the years. I accept unorganized souls better than I used to. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Lamb Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 I am very organized except when I forget it or can't find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geri Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 The only thing organized (by me) in this house are my closet and my spice rack! Go figure. Geri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharyn Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 I am fairly organized.... lets say I KNOW where everything is.... My Husband has no clue!! My house is always picked up but.... my closets could use some major overhauling!!! I laughed when I read Ginnys post about her party plans.... I do the same thing when I am entertaining... Everything gets put out and set up at least 2 days ahead of time... Makes the day of the event much less hectic... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Let me answer this way ANN , i've been in Route Delivery for 40 year's so you have to be organized but you'd never know it by the mess around my Ham Radio Station and yet i really do know where every thing should be and know when it's missing....

Maryanne Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Thats one of my big problems with our marriage, Joel is very organized and me a completely the opposite. He has tried to get me to change, I do for a bit then the clutter starts again. Hard to break new habits. But I am listening.... great for Ginny!!

Patkid Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 I am organized to a fault. I think I drive folks nearly nuts. ONE of my favorite things about Bri is that he was as organzied as I am. Our marriage really worked on so many levels. Geez, I miss him. Love P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
