Not Quite Done, Not Moving On, Not Sweating It Though

This month of March has been work-on-the-office month in Regina Leed's One Year To An Organized Life. This month has been a sticker for us who are working on this "program". My fellow blogger, Marie, has taken this month slow too and is currently working on week two. I got a little further than that. (See here, here and here.) But this last week was a doozy. I think the month kinda overwhelmed me. Those that know me or have been following regularly know that this month is the annversary of our son's birth and death. So I spent a lot of time away from home or with friends and family. I didn't blog very much. I didn't read books. I just did the bare basics.

I didn't read Week 4 yet, which is what "should" have been done March 22-28. However, if I get on it, I can read and re-vamp my filing system yet before I "have to" start Week One of April. I plan to use April 5-11 as the first week of April.

What did I accomplish in the office? Well, I reorganized my four drawers. I decluttered magazines. I changed the pile of stuff to a neater pile and a book section. I got all the trash off my desk and I have an in and out system. ( I haven't read Regina's suggestion yet, so it might change.) My "in / to dos" are on the left-hand side of my monitor (between my monitor and my speaker) and the "done / out" is on the right-hand side. I still haven't moved that phone, but I think I will to give myself a little more space. But even if I don't get to anything more in the office, I will be happy to maintain what I have done.

Also, I wanted to comment about the calendar I use. I have used Flylady's calendar for the last few years and I love it. But in conjunction to that, right now I am using CoziCentral. I like the wall calendar because it is easy to see and is very handy when I'm checking something while on the phone. But I like Cozi because I can list my blog post plans there without cluttering up the calendar everyone sees. Plus Cozi will send reminders to other devices. Check it out. You might enjoy it too.

This has stayed fairly clean.
I try to clear away the clutter (it is a hot spot) each day.
It seems to be working.

Up in the top right corner of the above picture is a pile that I haven't gotten too yet.
That's the area that needs a little more work.

I worked hard on the area below the desktop and it paid off.
I am so happy with this space now.

April is bathroom month in One Year To An Organized Life. Our bathroom has MUCH to be desired. I don't know if I can get pictures. I've tried before and they don't turn out. But I'll describe it to you, next month.
