Organizing

Somewhere I read that artistic people are very disorganized. I believe it, because I am.  I also have not enough hours in the day.  With all of this in mind I am making an attempt to get organized so I can make the most of the time before the holidays. I have a daughter who is so organized she has a houseful of belongings neatly tucked away in a 3 room apartment and knows where everything is and can find it.  Not so for me.
This is going to sound like excuses but I just want to give you a little insight into my life.

  1. I have a husband ( married over 40 years)
  2. I have a 6 year old niece ( she lives with us)
  3. 2 dogs
  4. My Mother is undergoing chemo for a second time
  5. I have 5 grown kids
  6. 11 grandkids
  7. 3 great grandsons
  8. am learning about SPD and aspergers
  9. have an etsy shop
  10. working on a garden
  11. love to paint
  12. have a decorating wish list
  13. have MG and a pace maker
Now if these things come at me a few at a time I am good. But some days it seems like all of it needs my attention right now and I get scattered and not very productive.
I have decided to schedule my day and set aside time for each of the days projects. Of course I have to be flexible in case I get that urgent call.
I have found a picture of my perfect work room, hubby was not impressed and I would have to build onto the house to get it , but a girl can dream, can't she?
I found this at http://sewmanyways.blogspot.com/2011/04/sewingcraft-room-ideas-and-updates.html



I would not have to leave this room much at all.  Right now I will have to settle for making a plan and sticking to it. I am adding about a dozen new items to my shop and enjoying the designing part of that. Can a person like me become organized , I will let you know!
