I have taken the time this evening to set aside some time and work on focusing on my simple little word FOCUS.
There are many times that I find myself coming home from work trying to get food put together for dinner and then most of the time getting onto the computer and catching up on Facebook and trying to see everything that I missed throughout the day while I was at work or when I have the chance I will cuddle up on the sofa and turn on the TV. Being able to sit and focus on just watching a movie doesn't seem to happen all that often. Even when I am just lounging on the sofa my mind is running a thousand miles a minute. These past few days I have noticed that I do not take time for me to focus on myself.
I have always looked at myself as an organized person. I may not always be show it on the outside but, in my brain everything is organized and when I have the time I work to do everything I can to get organized and stay that way.
The other night I got off work and I finally had some time to sit down and get on pinterest. I have found myself slightly obsessed with that site. (Find me a person that hasn't fallen in love with that site) I have found many ideas on there that I would like to try out this year.
My FOCUS for January is going to be working on home organization. I have learned the hard way that if you aren't organized at home you can't be organized in the rest of your life.
I found a pin that I followed to a blog and I have set a new goal for myself. I want to create a home organization binder. Most of the time when people make these is when they have kids and trying to keep every's schedules straight. But I think if this is something that I get started now and stick with it, it will only makes things easier when more people come into the picture.
My first task to creating a home organization binder is to find the free printable that I want to use or just create them so they are specific to my needs. I am giving myself until the end of January to have this complete.
Have you thought of making a home organization binder? I would love to hear your thoughts.
I will be sure to post a picture of my final product and maybe even a few in progress.
I have purchased the supplies to make one a few times, and still haven't made the effort to do it. I am hoping to do it as soon as I get the rest of my part of the house cleaned (Zach and I's rooms), but that is taking a lot more effort than I initially anticipated.
ReplyDeleteI think you are making some really good plans with your word this year. I love that you're breaking it up into manageable tasks- your resolution for January, for example. I'm reading the book The Happiness Project right now, and it has a similar goal- she breaks up her idea of "happiness" into manageable chunks with 4-5 resolutions each month with a set focus (marriage, energy, etc). I see a lot of parallels between your ideas and hers.
I actually haven't attempted Pinterest yet.. I've been so busy with other things. BUT I've seen some things from there and I must say it's a great site!
ReplyDeleteA home organization binder sounds WONDERFUL! I say go for it :) It sounds like a good project to work on!
I have never been on pinterest. :P
