One Year to An Organized Life

I've never been an extremely organized person in the past (just ask my mother) but I do get these bursts of energy where I feel like cleaning something and organizing it. Usually this room is the bathroom...call me crazy, but that seems like the ONE room that stuff needs to be clean and sanitized as often as possible. As much as I clean and re-organize the bathroom (and occasionally the kitchen), about 60% of the time it doesn't stay that way. I know my organizational habits (or lack there of) drive my husband insane... but I think all of that is about to change.

While browsing in Barnes and Noble this weekend, I stumbled on a book that I think I've needed for...like my whole life. The cover of it was a pretty blue, with six rubber ducks all lined up. My mind went to "having your ducks all in a row" and saw the word "organized" and I was compelled to pick it up.

As soon as I skimmed through the pages I knew I needed this.

It's marked by month for project areas in your home to work on, and within those months, the author writes weekly tasks for the reader to do. The month of January for example focuses on the kitchen and starting the process to your new year of getting organized. Basically by the end of each month, a room in your house will hopefully be organized, a routine will be set to keep it organized and all in all, make life a lot easier.

I'm pretty excited about this book.

I thought I might add that Regina Leeds also has books on organizing your financial life, work life, life with a new baby, and even has her own Idiot's Guide to Decluttering.
I'm hoping this book will change the way I organize my life and it will make our life a lot less stressful... first, off to de-clutter... I will be posting more in here, I promise. I've been adjusting to a new job and finally think I have my internet persona's life lined up with my real life...somewhat anyway.
