I am a professional organizer's dream (or nightmare). I can't organize anything; my home, my office, my computer, my thoughts...it is all quite a disaster. I called my mom close to tears the other day because I did not want to be at work, yet I didn't want to come home either. I still have 12 cans of dog food sitting on the cutting board on my kitchen island because the spot it usually goes in is full of something else. I'm not exactly sure what it is full of; I just know I can't put the dog food up until I clean off the shelf. As a result, I can't use my cutting board. Which in turn led to me getting out a plastic cutting board and melting it on the hot stove as I tried to cut up veggies.
I then decided to give up on the kitchen and attempted to organize my computer. Right now, it looks like this:
I can't find any files at all. Nothing. All of these folders are full of other folders. And my email inbox is full so I can't send anything out.
Anyone else out there stressed by my complete lack of organizational skills? My heart is speeding up just writing about it. It may just give out. I wonder if I can do a WebMD search on this???
I even did a search on organizing and ran across this great blog http://www.orgjunkie.com/. The author started a 52 week organizing challenge that I really wanted to be a part of...only she is in week 46. I missed it all! Too late to start now...
So I decided to organize my blog. Baby steps. Since this hasn't gotten too out of control I think I can get it in shape. As a result I have given my posts these things called "labels". One of these label thingies is "Bella". There you can read my Bella articles (but only if you live out of the area. All you locals can support local advertisers by picking up a copy).
If I were an ambitious person I would follow the 52 weeks of organizing and do a photo blog (with a label!) chronicling all of it. I don't think I am that ambitious. I swept the kitchen today. I don't want to over do it.
