My first task/challenge to myself

My first task to getting my shit in order, a command/operations center/binder.

Ugh. This is so far daunting.

So I have been reading about these all over the web. OK really all over on Pintrest (totally addicted to that site). Now mind you most of these post are a couple years old that I stumble across. These ladies have had their shit together for a while. I am behind the 8ball on this. But better late than never right?

I have downloaded file. Printed pages. Made notes. Realized - one central thing really won't work for me and what I am comfortable with. And right now this is about making things that are me - not me fitting into a mold.

So here is what I came up with. I need a few of these.

Working Binder - I will work on a catchy name later but basically this is binder I will be working out of all the time. It will contain daily, monthly and yearly stuff. Things to accomplish, schedules, to dos, important infos etc. I am also going to have it contain work related stuff. Both for the blog and my businesses. I will probably add more to it but for now this is where it stands.

Operations Binder - This will contain all those important things that I don't want floating around in a binder I use every day. Basically because I would inevitably loose something out of it and then would be pissed.

Command/Organization Station - This is where I am planning on centralizing all my working binder and clip board and a few other things so I can easily get to them.

Clipboard - I saw this idea on TipJunkie about having a clipboard to take with you for your errand days. Loved the idea because I am always forgetting things I need to do and because having everything there and ready to go would just totally rock. I am planning on using a clipboard that has a closing things (wow can't think of what that would be called) so I can keep the receipts etc in it and not loose or misplace them. I don't know if you can tell yet but I have a bad habit of misplacing things.

So while this post is boring and no pictures. The ones that follow will show my process.

Enjoy!

Intros Please

Here I go again (no not on my own - husband and kids in tow)

I am giving this a shot again. But I am not going to turn this blog into something I am not. Last time I attempted to blog I tried to

A: Be cute and clever (I am neither)
B: Be oh so fashionable and talk about shit I really don't care about (nope don't care what the latest fashion mag says, I look at them for the pictures but really don't get most of the fashions out there)
C: Keep up with it (this is a lie - I actually had forgot or didn't care about it after a few weeks - my attention span sucks)

What this blog is going to be this time is

Me

Really thought of the idea watching a movie. This was after I had already restarted the blog but hadn't actually made it yet. It was a movie about a girl who spent herself into debt with high priced fashion. No that is nothing like me. I do not have tens of thousands of dollars in credit card debt for shoes, handbags, clothes etc. Remember I said I am not a posh fashion bitch. Yes I am in debt my budget sucks but want like her in the movie to get things in order all around in my life.

Follow along with me as I get my shit figured out. About money, life, self, kids, purpose, income, the whole nine yards (don't actually understand that saying but eh).  I am not polished, put together or completely fashionable so this will be pretty rough around the edges and raw. I AM crafty, clutter, mostly confused. A bit of a mess. And sometime a bitch. I don't have my shit straight half the time. The other half of the time I am faking it good. Oh and I am all over the place. Can't seem to stay focused for too long. I love my kids and hubby. But am by no means a perfect mother or wife.

With Love & Luck
