Budget Dream House

I taught an organizing class last night for a women's group. It was fun. Hopefully we all learned something from the experience. I know I did! Every time I teach a class I get a little more organized. It gets me thinking about organizing and motivates me to find new and better ways of doing things.

I did my minimum in the garage today. I picked up three things out of the last lingering pile and found a spot for them. Today was garbage day so I was also able to get rid of the pile of boxes and garbage we had in there.

Tonight I sat and organized my Home Design notebook into specific sections: exterior, interior, landscaping, kitchen, bathroom and floor plans. I threw out all the pages that were repetitive or not exactly what I wanted for our new home. An organizing project a day keeps the clutter away! I think when we're finished with this project I'm going to write a book. "Design Your Dream House With A Not So Big Budget"

How are the rest of you doing on organizing? Is there a pile of papers that's bugging you? Take the first one off the top and take action now! File it, mail a check, or make a call. Do whatever you need to do so you don't have to look at it anymore. If it was easy, get busy on the next one. If you just got a brain cramp, you have my permission to take a break and fold some clothes! See how fun laundry can be?
