Right, every thing today is getting cleaned out in this order..
1. My brain.
2. My three email addy inboxes
3. My unresolved discussions.
4. I am going to super organize myself so I can take on a heavier workload.
From the last week in May I am going to do an eight to ten hour shift every day to get all my online business up to the level I need to get both my hubby and me into full time work from home people.
I have realized that I have been slowing down due to not being as organized as I should be. Do you also find that you slow down when you get unorganized?

I like to have a set routine every day, otherwise you can guarantee that as soon as I have gone to bed I will suddenly think damn I didn't do that! that's why I have a big diary beside me so I can write down everything I need to do that day, I can be very forgetful! I am usually a systematic and methodical person, according to one of my best offline friends. I do need to be organized and you're right I do slow down if I'm not!

ohhhh i so agree, yes i slow down quite dramatically when my whole life plan comes away at the seams. I am not a very organised person at the best of times, im always all-over-the-place. However, im constantly seeking order i think its an ideal type

I do try to be organised but on occasion things just get out of control and I have to spend time getting back on track. I am still trying to organise my house, the place is so full of clutter that I don't know where to start. I begin full of energy and enthusiasm but once the organisation goes, then I come to a grinding halt. :-)

OMG yanji just looking at yours makes me want to run.... if you come up with a good schedule please let me know, my frigging server is my problem. It is driving me bonkers, over weekends it is just fine, but then hubby gets a bit cranky. I will have to start sneaking away in the night.

Wow, congratulations that you are organized now. That's a one big step towards being successful in life. Knowing what you really want to do and how to achieve it is a good way of starting again.
Hope you'll continue being organized...
For me, i am having a hard time organizing everything because i really don't know what i want in my life as of now so i am just living each day of my life. It seems like its a "come what may" attitude.

Yeah, lately I just haven't been getting anything done. But a couple of days ago I started trying to get a ton of stuff cleared off my to-do list, and it's been great. I feel much better, and much more capable of tackling projects.

I will add a very loud AMEN to that, but sometimes I think I do not even know when to start. I need to promise myself fifteen minute increments of serious cleaning and organizing. I know I would be surprised at how far it would go. I do not succeed because my life is a mess. I am smart enough, I should do better. We will see what May brings for me, as well.

you just gave me a tinkle to organise myself aswell. thanx yanji. even i have to organise myself on all matters you have mentioned. i will start will cleaning up with my brains, trust me, that require a lot of time, given the amount of trash thoughts it holds.LOL..

Yes it so happens with me too and with everyone. When things are organised you found yourself acting slowly.

Not really. I INTENTIONALLY slowed down because I realize that my time is not worth staying online most of the time. I tried to put things as orderly as possible but it seems that a lot of problems kept sprouting like mushrooms. I just received an alert from mylot earlier informing me that my payout will be on-hold at the moment because e-gold is involve in an indictment. What a great way to start my day knowing that everything is getting messier without you doing it. :/

Oh Dear..I hope that everything will clear itself with the egold problem, I really do..but you will get your money I am sure of it. I don't think they can bring egold down as it is just an exchange thing, not a processor as such. I wish you luck and I am with you..

that sounds great,at least you will feel reassured when you have organized all those things,i have that experience before:several weeks ago,i have a lot of stuff to wash,and every time i saw those things,i felt uncomfortable,but i just hate to wash,but finally,i have to,then i picked a day,and get all of them washed,you can't imagine how happy i felt when i've done this,woow,relax.
from then on i planned to do my laundry on time every day,and get all other things organized,although sometimes i will not do as planned,but that way i felt every day is fully used.

Sure thing, barbie. I get all messed up when I am not organized. Nothing gets done when there is no semblance of order. Being organized is good. ;-)
