Suddenly I want to be Organized!
Hi , are you organized? Give me some tips!
I spoke to my friend Roland of last week and I told him that I would like to be organized.
I have been procrastinating for a few years now but this time it's for real. I just downsized my life from 1400 square feet to 300 or less; I have to keep what's important and I have to get rid of all the trash. Do you have any idea how much it cost for moving storage?
I have a Question for you: My Tax Documents, How Long To Do I Keep Them For?
Roland is the CEO of Tips Network [ www.TipsNetwork.net ] a directory of helpful tips, I have been his internet marketing coach for more than two years now.
Suddenly it's his turn to coach me;

Bèl Fèt Weekend:
on with the story...
Roland's assignment: To turn me from the messy person that I am, throwing things all over the place, not keeping a good record, to becoming well organized. Roland is the most organized person. As a matter of fact, I have never seen him without his appointment book. Interesting...
I use a PDA, two laptops, and 3 computers at home, Roland uses his appointment book, pen, paper, post-it notes, and a couple of folders and he beats me fair and square when it comes to organization.
"It is very easy" he says.
Easy my foot!
It's been almost four days I'm trying to get everything organized and I'll tell you right now... It is not a walk in the park. Because I've been messy for many years, not only do I have to be organized from this point forward, but I actually have to organize all my files for the past couple of years. Let me tell you a story: When I moved out of my house, I hauled my file cabinet to put it in storage. During my organization assignment I realize that almost everything in the cabinet has been there since 2002. By the time I got it organized 90 percent of the cabinet was empty. Yeepee! So I've been storing this trash for the past five years and I have been buying additional storage bins to put all the new trash. Are you as bad as I am?
This organization thing, as easy as it may be to everyone, it is very difficult for me. But... I'm getting the hang of it. So far I really like it The other day I had a list of things to do. When I got in my car with my list, I ran around town as if I was taking care of a newspaper route.
I got it all done... and I did it efficiently!
That was my first sign that it pays to be organized and it really pays to have a list. Perhaps one day me and Roland will get together and send you a couple of newsletters about how to be organized. Wouldn't you like that? It's Friday, Go and have a good time! Me, I will be hanging out at Marabou Café. Tonight is Haitian Rara, Carnival, and Brazilian Night. Au revoir! Woodring, your humble servant
