One of my New Year's Goals was to become more organized. So slowly (think turtle pace) I have been organizing various places in my life. My good friend Karen Ehman recently published a book called The Complete Guide to Getting and Staying Organized that totally was a life saver. It helped me get control of many areas of my life. One of the biggest helps was her brain in a binder idea which helped me get the paper clutter more in control...still not there totally but closer than before.
However there are still many many areas of my home that are out of control. My biggest headache is my home office area where I run my home business from. It is a complete mess all the time. It is time for a makeover.
The problem with makeovers for me is that I can't even envision the end result let alone figure out how to get there.
Lysa TerKuerst has challenged her blog readers to a Swap & Hop Organizational challenge. This has motivated me to get moving and start organizing. But where to begin? And really will it help? We'll see...I have 48 hours this weekend...or maybe a few less to see what can be accomplished.

My home office was on the list too but there is one thing that I tried to do that appears to be working - sort of. It's a good idea anyway. We hung up a plastic over-the-door shoe hanger and labeled it with different types of bills, and put in slots for extra deposit slips, scissors, tape, markers, etc. My husband has even taken to throwing in pocket stuff like his wallet and change and pens and all. Not the prettiest but then neither are the piles!! Good luck in your 48 hours!!!
