How organized are you?

Well it is safe to safe that organization is not my strong suit!! In fact it is an area of my life that I sometimes feel overwhelmed and out of control. How come organization is so difficult for me? Well my ADHD is not helping... in fact it could be what is behind my disorganization. Every time I try to get organized, I either don't complete the task or I do not maintain it and I am right back at square one. Then I beat myself up over not completing yet another thing and feel like a failure again. Well that is going to be my new mission.... Yes I know I am setting myself up, however if I am accountable to this blog then I think I will have better success !!

My ADHD brain needs and wants this process to be enjoyable; music will be an important component, my trusty timer to help keep me on track and keep me from getting hyper focused on one thing, and my camera to help document my success. I need to see my progress- to help keep me motivated and on track.

I am on vacation right now and am reading Organize Your Mind, Organize Your Life by Margaret Moore and Paul Hammerness. It has given me some insight on inner clutter = outer clutter ! Here is a sample from Margaret Moore - aka Coach Meg.

It has helped me become more aware of how much my unorganized brain and life is costing me and my family.

Enjoy the day!
