How organized are you?

I try to, but since I'm the only one who tries, the organization can only go so far, say within the house, not the garage. Within my dresser, but not his. I do end up with a pile of papers and I try to sort them through when they come in, at least sort out the junk. The rest usually waits until once a week.

I was not an organized person and did I pay for it. While we were on vacation last year, our 2nd floor toilet tank cracked and 10,000 gallons of water flowed through our house.

We lost practically everything, photos, books, portraits, toys, did I say my girls photos, etc.

I was such a cluttered person, what a way to get my house cleaned.

I have gotten somewhat better but I still have some things that I need to get rid of before it gets out of control again. Everything that we could save was stored in our sunroom or in storage. I finally have the last of the boxes unpacked and slowly have been going through the stuff in our sunroom. I won't bring it into the main house because I don't want it to start accumulating again.

Sometimes I wonder if there might be something wrong with my brain. I have good intentions but can't follow through.

Thanks for starting this discussion. This will be one that I will be following closely.

I try to stay organized...a place for everything and everything..at least in the right room. Sometimes I have a hard time because I'm around long enough to make a mess or sleep then off again.

I make a point of putting clothing away and mail in the right spot and dishes in the sink or cupboards....dvds in the case. its the little bits i ahve a hard time with. Containers and cases make a big difference on how i keep things clean.

i am a semi-organized person.i don't know.it's just that at work, i don't wanna work when my desk is dirty and papers are a mess..before i do things, i settle things first. i always balance my time. i see to it that i have time for everything. so far, it's been fine with me and i have done my job well-on time and sometimes, before due..

I'm unorganized too, which i s why I started a blog about clutter. It helps me stay relatively organized and keep my bad habits in check.

Even i am of same category as yours i am not organized as i don't get time to organize. Now that i lost my job i am free but still i am finding it hard to organize myself:)
