Tips Tuesday - Organization Tips


I don't have a ton of tips for organization, just because I'm not very organized these days! :)  I do have a few tricks though...

-I used to have a notebook calendar where EVERYTHING that was going on in my life was written down.  In it, I had a sheet of notebook paper where everything I had to do was written.  I marked it out as it was done, and added as needed.  It really worked well, and I want to get back to doing it!  I was much more productive. :)

-Mail seems to swallow my house whole if we don't keep it in check.  Have a specific spot in your house (our's is a bin in our kitchen) where all mail goes...that way it isn't scattered everywhere!

-If you have a chore you do every week, do it on a specific day.  For example, I (usually) only work on blogs on Wednesdays and Saturdays (says the lady that just got finished working for 2 hours - this weekend put me behind).  Let everyone know when you work...that way, they won't expect it on a random day either!

-When you're done with a certain job, leave it alone.  If I have something to do for school, I do it there...I rarely take work home with me.  That way, I'm not tempted to work on school stuff 24/7.  From what I've found, you NEED time not to think about a job!  Same with blogs...that's why I only work at specified times.

Alright, to be honest, I need help with this one.  Let me know what you've got!  I'd also like to know about home organization tips...where do you store everything?
