Organisation

Why can't I be good at it and stay on top of things?!

I am in the middle of a MASSIVE declutter as we are moving house in a few weeks and it's killing me. I have my Honors in Procrastination

which doesn't help either, so things take me twice as long. I kid you not though, I have been cleaning out a double overhead cupboard since 2pm

It is our medicine cabinet and also has paperwork, bills, prescriptions, takeaway menus etc and it's a hot mess!!

I always have good intentions and it always turns to c***.

How do you organise things etc? I know it's a bit of a general question but keen to hear anything you've got

I do about as well as you I think. But I did just buy a nice looking basket thing with a lid and put all the paper work etc that had been sitting on the buffet into it. So not exactly organised as such but looks a whole lot better. I de cluttered all my kitchen cupboards a while back and got some plastic drawer type things that I put inside the double overhead cupboard for all the medications, prescriptions band aids and stuff. That seems to have kept it pretty well so far. I also have a plastic tub that has all the dish washing liquid and general cleaning stuff in up in the same cupboard, away from little hands, and that's worked well.

I am yet to get to my wardrobe

I have quite a few storage boxes etc which work quite well. Easier to access things and store them away.
I think I need to get more though and I think (well I know) I need to have cleanouts more regularly. I'm still going on the bloomin' cupboard. I'm going to bootcamp in an hour and I am zapped and want to curl up in a ball

Too bad DH won't let me.

LOL good luck

But imagine how good you're going to feel when the cupboard is done! I kept going past and opening it just to have a look for about 3 days after I did mine

Eeek. I sympathise. I have a pile of paperwork sitting right next to me that I have been contemplating for days now. Every now & then I restack it so it looks a bit tidier.

I don't mind the idea of putting it away, just that I know how jampacked the filing drawer is...

How do people do it? When I go to visit other people I don't see piles of stuff sitting around. Where is it all?

lol I was doing the same, until I got the basket hehe.

I know! They must be super organised and not quite as lazy as me
