Organize For A Fresh Start

In this book Susan talks about changes and transitions. How one change can lead to a series of changes which may sometime be too overwhelming for a person.

There is a need to know what one’s objectives and goals are. Everything that is there is for a purpose. If there is no need or use for an item it should be removed or given away.

The four parts of Susan’s book address the need for

Getting Started

Reorganizing your surroundings

Manage your time

Staying Organized.

I love the fact that Susan has broken down each aspect of change into byte size chunks which are easy to digest. She dishes out a lot of helpful tips to deal with the different changes that you face in life and how to organize yourself for a fresh start.

This year has been a change for me as I am aiming to remove all the mental and physical clutter that has been bogging me down all these years.

It has been hard for me to keep to a schedule and really see through what I have planned to do. Susan makes organizing easy through her step by step focus on the 3 Ps – People, Product and Place.

Through focusing on one at a time it’s easier to make a decision on the things to keep or discard. Our needs and wants constantly change and as we age we have different priorities. Organizing is a ongoing project which I now handle more enthusiastically after being equipped with the proper tools.

This week the theme is on yellow. Here are some of my captures of the colour yellow. I too am feeling YELLOW as doggie boy is home sick nursing a bad throat and R’s away again on a two week business trip. He really flies off too often!!

1. Do you prefer your ice cream in a bowl or in a cone?
I like it in a bowl more then a cone as I’ll be able to have more flavours to savour then.

2. What three things do you love the smell of?
I like the sent of the perfume that R bought for me Clinique Happy, Roses and cakes in the oven baking.
3. Giftcards or no? (In regards to gift giving…)
I would say yes as it’s really hard to pick out gifts for others . It would be better for them to choose it themselves.
4. What sports did you play in high school if any and do you still play them?
I used to play netball in high school. I don’t play it now but we do occasionally play badminton with the boys.

5. Were you in band in high school? What instrument did you play?

I was in the String Ensemble and I played 1st violin. However if I were in the band I would like to play the drums or saxaphone.
