I often feel very unorganized, not necessarily when it comes to my house but rather my life...I have so many things on my mind and so many things going on, lots of things get forgotten or put aside in my head only to return after it's too late or it's been so long I feel guilty for not accomplishing what I mean to. Want an example? well your in luck I have many, I have UN-used leisure credit that needs to be used, all it would take is a phone call to register my kids for some things. We wasted the summer and now it's fall registration already. Ashton needs to be in preschool but now the one to one worker is on vacation because I put off calling her since March. My license...oh where to begin. I studied the book, 5 times now I just need to bring 30 dollars to the icbc place and take the test. 1 hour of my time. Sewing, it's really something I enjoy ALOT and I haven't sewn since March, it's really sucky and it makes me sad because I really want to make my own clothes!! My garage, oh so many things wrong with my garage. mainly clothes, furniture, nick knacks and odds and ends fill it to the brim, time to purge. It has been time to purge since Christmas...sigh. Scrap booking, I am behind 3 months on Elizabeth's book I need to develop some pictures and catch it up, she has learned so many new things! My hair!! it's been bothering me for months! I got it cut and I still don't like it...I need it coloured the way I want or I will never be happy let's face it. My diet, back and forth back and forth, not to mention exercise...I really need a workout a steady 3 day a week workout...sigh again. Appointments, we are behind for the dentist, immunizations, pediatrician, ophthalmologist, therapy. Ugh would you believe there's MORE!! Fundraising, we were supposed to do a fundraiser this summer to get to San Fransisco next summer for Ashton's CFC conference, this is REALLY important. I also have oodles of paperwork to fill out for charity's to help us get there. The main reason for this blog was for me to have a written list of things to do...where to begin, life organization starts NOW!

I wish I had helpful advice to insert here, or something, but all I can think is - "If you want something done, ask a busy person" and that's you already!
Good luck?
I know the feeling. My list is also very long and I 'try' to accomplish things but my everyday routine takes up most of my time and energy and those extra things get pushed off to the side. Now the extra things are becoming too many things...sigh... making a list is the right thing to do. Get your pencil and start checking them off. One at a time. Just know that when you check one off, you will probably have to add a few more. That's life!
Wow - you are one busy lady! One of the tricks I was taught was to start with a to do list that has no more than 5 things on it. I was told to choose the 4 simplest things that i needed to do and list them in no particular order under the title "TO-DO" item number 5 was "create new list". That way when you reach #5 you not only feel you are accomplished you actually have accomplished! And if your day seem to be full already - do a list of three things. The trap sometimes is to list ALL the things that we need to do and then we can become overwhelmed. But a list of 5 things is not so bad.
Dont know if that is of any value to you - it works for some.
Good Luck! and dont forget to ask for help if you need it!
