The Organizing Blues

Casey here--Mama is sharing all sorts of ideas about being organized this week. I have to admit, mama is one of the best organizers I know! Everyone talks about how she has it all together. We have a really good routine that we follow around our house. I always know where my things are and what's happening next. The following are some topics that mama will be addressing in her posts. Be sure to check back every day to see what ideas she has to share! Being the organized "guru" of our home, I often wonder how those that are...hmmm, shall we say, more talented in clutter than I can function. It's one of those challenges that seem to be a constant source of irritation from both sides. The organized can't stand the look of clutter, let alone find anything, while the cluttered can't find anything that's organized! How do you determine what is the best route for your family? What about the employee that knows exactly what is expected, but her method of putting it all togehter is to hunt and peck. Fortunately she knows exactly what pile and corner "it" all hides in, but how does that help out the co-worker that has to fill in for her when she is absent? Then there's the eager business owner. He's just started his dream and is excited about his new adventure! There are so many ideas floating around in his head he doesn't know where to begin. When he shares with you all that is going to take place, he jumps from one subject to the next and you aren't quite sure how to follow his enthusiasm! How does he keep on track with everything? I have worked with people in all of these situations. It's a challenge to keep them organized and on task. However, I have learned that everyone is organized--just in their own way. Check back tomorrow when we focus on those who are at the home front. Here's waggin' at ya!
