and so the planning begins…..
I am a planner. A procastinator, but a planner. I make lists upon lists. I find it very hard to live in the now. But I am starting to embrace it. So now, even though you can feel Christmas in the air, I am starting the New Year organising.
On My List.
1. Sort out the school stuff. Otherwise known as , tackle the mountain of Master O’s school paraphenalia. Sort, Throw, Store a years worth of school “stuff” efficiently. Whatever system I choose, it is going to have to be compact and efficient. We have two children, with 14 years of school each. That is a lot of stuff!
2. Collate the back to school lists. The uniforms, stationary and text book requirements are here but I am yet to make my “table“. This is playing on my mind as January is CRAZY for us with two trips away.
- Stuck On You
3. Organise a 2013 Family Calendar. I have done this! It is here, it is beautiful and it is empty! There is something so appealing about an unfilled calendar that I have been putting off writing in it! We had an amazing system in 2012 using this stuck on you calendar and we want it continue.
4.Organise a 2013 Diary. Once again I have done this! I am trying a new system of keeping my schedule organised this year. It does help that I dont have a work schedule to manage! I have enlisted the help of a “Persoanl Planner” and I can’t wait to share with you how I use it! Check out personal-planner.com.au for more
5. Start a new cleaning schedule. This is the up or maybe down side of now being a stay at home Mum. The cleaning and organising of a rather large house is now my domain. I need help people! I need a schedule or even just a list, I need to sort out a cleaning container?
I could go on forever. I have to say there is something exciting about fresh starts, new plans and endless lists!
So where are you at? Any plans for the new year?
