Since I'm here, I hope its obvious that I've chosen to stick with this. That swells me up with pride, at least a little.
This was really more difficult than I thought it would be. I
It was much tougher than I expected!
By making one choice on a little thing to change this week, it feels like I have to prioritize. What am I most unhappy about? What do I most want to change, even a little?
Even now, I am questioning my choice. I need to hurry up and post it, so it will be set in stone!
For week 1, I plan to devote at least 30 minutes per day to organization.
One of the things that stresses me out are my responsibilites. Even when I know what they are ahead of time, that time has a way of slipping by unnoticed until I have far too little to accomplish what I must.
So, for Week 1 (June 18th - June 24th), I plan to set aside just half an hour per day for personal organization. Either making to-do lists, or scheduling my day... there are lots of ways that a mere 30 minutes can save me many hours if I use them to plan.
I decided on this change first because I think this daily planning time will really set the groundwork for future changes.
Would anyone like to join me in this week's challenge? Feel free to post what strategies you think you might use; I plan to review them along with some of my own ideas tomorrow. If organization is already for forte, by all means please comment and share with us your favorite tips, tricks, and tools.
Hopefully this gets me off to a running start. Maybe it will jumpstart someone else, as well?

Organization is good. I should know- I'm OCD. So technically I just do it because it makes me feel better. But yeah, go for it.
Also, don't be discouraged if you don't get a lot of comments here and there. I've been doing this blog thing since January and I usually get only a few replies every now and then. However, there are people that tell me they read my blog, despite the fact that they never comment. Hope that helps.
Yeah, I can see where blog-reading might be a more passive thing for some people. (Maybe just people who don't blog themselves?) Thanks for the thoughts; I'll remember this and hang in there even when the commenting goes dry for a while. :)
Ah, OCD. I wish I had a useful manifestation of OCD. Instead of meticulous counting and finger-fidgeting, I could be naturally inclined to organization. Oh well, them's the breaks. I shouldn't make such light of it because I'm sure while it seems a fine idea to me, it probably stresses you out a bit.
