    Organization should have been my New Year’s resolution. At work and now especially at home with a baby on the way, I need this.

    The KISS theory… KEEP IT SIMPLE {stupid}

    We have no storage in our house what so ever so we need a good clean out and time to get organised! We have to much stuff and no where to put it. My lounge is a dumping ground for clean clothes & my office is well… it’s complicated!

    We just moved into a new house, so we could really simplify…every room! I’m still trying to figure out where everything goes, which is tricky because I’ve never lived here before. If I had to pick one place to focus my efforts most, it would be the kitchen/dining area. Things tend to pile up there, so it could use some love :)

    KEEP IT SIMPLE! This is what I had been figuring out since New Year Time – how to simplify my work and business sidelines. I have several completely different assignments in my work which require me to multi task and I also have a sideline I love (joining bazaars) which I don’t want to give up! I hope I win! Happy New Year to all!

    Ok maybe it’s just me, but the whole concept of when and how to schedule household chords eludes me. It’s not exactly top on my priority list, though I’m sure house guests would appreciate it if I put it a little higher than the very bottom of my list. How can I fit it in my daily routine (along with a little more devotional and exercise time)? Help!

    We just moved into our “forever” house and I’m totally intimidated about getting organized and decorated since it is..you know..”FOREVER!!” The systems and habits we start now will probably be the systems and habits we have 20 years from now so I want to get it right. And in terms of decorating…there are so many choices, what’s my identity again? It was so much easier in our “not forever” house. I need help! :)
