Organizing

From Organized to Chaos

by Kay~Kacey on 2/8/2008

Really, how did this happen? How did I get from that really valid attempt at organization to this? Can you even see an empty flat surface on this really nice big desk? I try so hard to keep it cleaned off. Really I do. I feel like such a failure. Someone only a mother could love. I should call my mother…

Helpful Labels

  • A – Junk food. Of no redeeming value. Within easy reach. My bad.
  • B – Camera case. Which the camera hasn’t been inside for, I don’t know. Forever. It’s always out. Usually in my hand. I could probably find a better place to keep the case, huh?
  • C – Really, REALLY cool converse sneakers my boys got me for Christmas. Only they are too big. And Zappos doesn’t have my size in them now. I check the website regularly to see if they’ve gotten my size in. But why is the box sitting smack dab in the middle of my desk? They are cool shoes though, huh? They are a crossword pattern. They have a real crossword puzzle on them. I :love: them. But I need them in my size. I’m about to give up and just get some solid pink ones.
  • D – Yarn winder. Well, that’s needed. If I could find the black yarn I was using, I could finish up the thumbs on some gloves I’m making for my friend… I know. You’re saying the yarn is probably buried somewhere on that desk. But I looked and didn’t find it!
  • E – Hand weights. Impressive right? Makes you think I exercise all the time when I’m in my office. :rofl:
  • F – Bottle of water. Okay, that’s good. I try and drink lots of water. Which is better than lots of wne. Which I’d probably just spill on my keyboard anyway.

lots of mess on my desk

How does this keep happening to me? Is it some kind of flaw in my moral makeup that prevents me from keeping my desk picked up? Do you have any idea how much time I waste trying to find stuff that disappears into the abyss that is my desk? So do you keep a clean desk? Always picked up and in order? If so I admire you and hate you. Help a girl out here. Do you have any great organizing tips? And how come I can keep my lovely spice rack organized but not my office?
