Project: Organization

I've been thinking a lot about why I'm feeling so overwhelmed these days. I've missed Millie's dance class two weeks in a row. I missed Ian's speech appointment last week. The house isn't ever clean. The laundry is waiting for me on the bed. Dinner is usually a last minute thought. The truth is that my life isn't any crazier now than it was at the beginning of the year. The problem is that at the beginning of the year I was on top of these, at the peak of organization. I felt so good then. So calm. So in control. A few friends and I took Marie Ricks class on organization and I learned so much. It's amazing how much more at peace I feel when things are all in order. It's time I get some of that peace back. I'm going into full organization mode putting to use all those things I've learned. I'm de-junking my house and my mind. I'm putting my menu to use again. I'm scheduling my day. I'm prioritizing my week. I'm setting achievable goals for myself. I may go through some "facebook" withdrawls but it's time I stop being so idle. It's time to have a house of order.

Organize yourselves; prepare every needful thing; and establish a house, even a house of prayer, a house of fasting, a house of faith, a house of learning, a house of glory, a house of order, a house of God. D&C 88:119
