First .. a quick story. At the ripe age of sixteen I got my first job at McDonald’s. Glamorous? Uh … not even slightly … especially considering my reign as drive-thru queen happened to fall during the polyester uniform era. (I’m here to tell you … polyester has many faults, one of which is retaining the smell of French Fries even after going through the wash. My best friend’s Mom used to hang her uniform in the garage … it was that bad. (Yes, my best friend Liz worked at Mickey D’s too making the job a bit more fun yet no more glamorous.)) OK … back to the story and eventually the point. 🙂
As drive-thru queen, I said over and over again “Welcome to McDonald’s, how may I help you?” I said this so much so that when I went out to post this today … typing “how may help you” instantly conjured up this silly (ancient) memory.
OK … now to the point. And it is this … I’d love to help you “crack the code” on your organizing dilemmas and create the changes in your life that you’re longing for. What’s getting in your way? Is a disorganized creative space making it impossible to … well … create? Are you lacking time to pursue creative endeavors like scrapbooking? Are you overwhelmed by a box (or plastic tub) full of photos … and wish you could find a way to get organized and start scrapbooking? Is your kitchen counter covered with paperwork making it impossible to cook, let alone pursue something fun or creative?
How may I help you? Post me a post … and I’ll pull some creative and inspiring ideas from the happy scrapper (or my head!) and help you create the changes you’re looking to make! Give it a try! I’m here to help (and so happy to do it — especially since there’s no polyester involved!)
OK– Mail is an issue!! Yes I have a place to put bills to be paid… and a place to file important papers that come via the mail that need to be saved– BUT what am I supposed to do with things that I want to think about? catalogs that need to be read etc…. At my house they go from pile to pile… until I eventually trash them!
oh and if thats not enough… what about the junk that accumulates in my purse??? hahaha
When you use drawers for organization what is the best way to make them work for you without putting alot of money into dividers! My drawers are 3″, 5″ and 7″, I want to use my space wisely without more $$.
What is your advice to us that tend to hoard “for someday” or “that perfect layout” and then find stuff…out of style, expired, etc.? I do this both in my everyday and creative life. And see myself basically throwing money away, yet can’t seem to stop from buying the coolest and latest scrap stuff (and other items) even though I have more than I need already.
What is your system for time management and getting everything done that you need to in all areas of life, kids, work, scrapbooking, etc? Sometimes it feels like I am playing a giant game of Whack a Mole…just when I get one area of my life settled and under control something pops up in another area. Any suggestions?
