Need to Get Organized?!

Ever feel like you have so much to do and can't keep up with it all?! 

I was feeling like that about a month ago when school started.  I had school stuff to keep up with, blogging ideas that were flooding my mind, and my personal life to keep track of!  There was SO much going on and I had to get it all organized.

If you feel this way, I have a couple solutions for you!

The first I did was create my own planner.  I typed up an extremely basic page to keep track of daily assignments and such.  I keep the pages in a 3-ring binder.

 Then I bought this accordion file from Target!  I LOVED the chevron and had to get it.  Anything in the name of organization!  Hehe!  I labeled the tabs by school subjects.  In the very back, I have notebook paper.  Any time I have an idea, I write it down on this paper.  It may be a bulleted list and/or sketches.  But when I'm finished, I stick the paper in the correct pocket.  Each night, I choose one project to start/work on/finish.  Everything I need to complete it is right there!

 I also use this same idea during meetings. When it's over, I put my notes in the correct tab and may use that later for inspiration for a new activity!

I'm no organizational guru, but I am certainly OCD enough to rub off on some of y'all!  I really hope that some of my nutty OCD tendencies can help others to become more organized and less stressed!
