[Wylie's Mom]

I use about 8 billion post-its a week. I have a customizable, small organizing thingy - and I keep a section for to do's -- I'll have a post it on a different page (using post-its make it easy to update/change) for errands to run/things to pick up, shipments I'm expecting, longer term to-do's, grocery list. My calendar is in there, important numbers. So, that's the organizing method.

But omg, I ALWAYS feel like I cannot keep up. And all of a sudden, it seems like nothing is in its place....I get overwhelmed...and don't want to attempt any of it....so yep, I get behind further. My method over the last few months is to talk myself out of that kind of thinking and just say to myself "do 5 mins of putting a few things away, and that's it" -- at least it's something I can achieve, without feeling like I failed bc I didn't do ALL that needed to be done.

I'm really prone to clutter/mess/mail piled up etc making me feel 'cluttery' in my brain. But, I can't seem to find the right way to avoid the clutter. Ya get rid of it, and 2 min later it's back. UGH. Endless cycle.

Confession: we don't make our bed unless guests are coming over. Gasp. Is that lazy or what?
