be more organized

If I simplify and declutter my life then I WILL be more organised. At the moment I am drowning in paperwork, unfinished projects and excess belongings.

So, I am not more organised, but I am working on simplifying and decluttering on a regular basis now.

After a late start, I managed to get only the first three things on the list done, but I also picked up all the toys and vacumned and mopped the whole house as well… sounds like a horrid day, but as it was raining outside it was nice to be inside on my own listening to music, cleaning, emailing friends (hey, you didn’t expect me not to have breaks!) and chatting on TT about Persian salads…

So, I am getting there. More on Friday as the next two days I am doing fun things such as furniture shopping…. oh and clothes shopping (see point 14, I will only be buying things I need!)

Tomorrow I have a child-free today and plan to organise as much of the flat as possible before I go mad! I also need to think about buying some furniture.

1. Cupboard under the sink- tidy
2. Clean bathrooms (2) and organise
3. Take bottles to be recycled (so many red wine bottles!)
4. Organise spare room so I can walk in it without killing myself
5. Take empty boxes to the foyer
6. Find boxes of CDs
7. Weed out unneeded toys
8. Pick up clothes in my room (again….)

That will do to start with….

Wednesday I am having more child free time, but that will be “me time” out of the house, then back into it Thursday I think. All organised by the weekend (hee hee)...

Then I will spend a lot of time organising things this weekend which is much needed… good for the soul to get rid of junk and put away the precious things I do have….

EDIT…the free stuff was too good to be true, but thats OK, I am going shopping instead.

A small list of goals for each day would help

• Call my sister
• Send off some paperwork to the German government

There, only two small goals (I have a busy day otherwise), can I do them?

Today I had my washing machine installed Yay! and also a few lights put in. Living in Germany means when you move into a flat you have to install all your own lights, kitchen, cupboards, wardrobes etc- the flat is nearly an empty shell. So, happy to have a few lights that are now working, more shopping to do…

I also went and ordered my door, mailbox and door bell nameplates, has only taken me a month so far. I have been very slack getting organised, but am trying to snap out of my lethargy in regard to these essential things and JUST DO IT!!!
