I've become enthused with this organizing stuff but I'm not sure I'm getting anywhere. I clean up one pile and then make another. Quilting and sewing projects are helping me to create piles of fabric and stuff everywhere. I need to get a handle on this. I can't clean up something and then make a mess at the same time.
I have three areas of concern; personal, business, and quilting. Since I work from home, my work takes over the house as boxes of lamps and accessories and bolts of fabric arrive at the front door daily. As soon as I empty one box, another one shows up. I'm making a little progress because of Cassandra's help and also because I'm a member of Sparkpeople.
If you're not family with Sparkpeople, it's a free site for weight loss and other things and there are thousands of members around the world. I talk regularly with a woman from England and there is another in New Zealand and members from all across the states and Canada. Sparkpeople also has oodles of teams for weight loss, crafting and sewing, exercise, and yes, organizing. I found the Organized Life team and promptly joined a couple of weeks ago. I was so excited about it that I set up the AAPT Club as a subgroup. Attack A Pile Today! I set it up initially to help myself and thought maybe others would join me in cleaning up a pile or two daily. This has really mushroomed into many people jumping on the bandwagon and today, the leader of the group has asked me to be a co-leader!
Me? A Co-leader of a team to help others get organized? I said yes but I'm wondering why on earth? Maybe it will help me to continue the path to organization. I don't know. If it takes any time, I'll have to give it up. I enjoy scouting around on Sparkpeople and have perfect attendance for more than a year. I sign in everyday and peruse through my teams and check my mail etc. I write a blog as well, most days. But I certainly don't try to keep up with too many people or want to be in charge of anything. So we will see. If it keeps me cleaning up the piles of stuff, I'll continue on. Later.
