Get organised

So I have planned what I am going to do in each room, the next thing is to get organised. It it no good trying to tackle all the rooms at once as you probably won't finish it in a day and feel like you have achieved nothing.

As I am on leave for several days I have devised a timetable allocated a day or half a day to one room or if it is a large room a section of that room. You have to make your goals realistic and achievable. If you do not have several days in a row available, maybe just the weekend, then do the same. Say to yourself, 'I really need to sort out my filing system this weekend', and make it happen!

Then when you have achieved that goal you will feel so much better and this will motivate you to do more.

I usually reward myself after by doing or having my favourite thing, like eating ice-cream or having a nice bubble bath (as you will need after all that work!)

If you fail to plan

Hi how you doing?

I haven't blogged for a while but thought I'd get back to it - doing what I love - and sharing with you wonderful people out there.

I am on leave for the next few weeks and I really want to get organised in the home so that my creative juices can flow as I had little bit of a block for a while. Organised home, organised mind.

To start with I have set up my office space to work, which has included that of my daughters school books etc so that she can focus and have everything to hand for her last year in primary school. I can focus too and have everything to hand including my art and writing materials.

My tip for you today is that before you start any of this plan plan plan. I took each of my rooms and decided what I wanted to do with the space and even drew a plan so that I could see it visually. I have a small flat so utilising every inch of my space is important.

My motto is if you fail to plan you plan to fail!

See you next time for more tips.
