Egads! Getting organized is my mantra for 2005! My little house is overflowing with too much of everything. I was so proud of myself when I took down the Xmas decorations and actually organized like things in like boxes, labeled the boxes, numbered them and wrote a list of what I have. And sorted with a fine eye to getting rid of things. I'm trying to do that with the rest of my collections, but, boy the place turns into a mess real fast! As someone said, organized is not the same as being neat.

Tackling the paperwork will be the biggest chore.

One process I've found that helps is to tackle one small area at a time - like one drawer, one part of a closet, one shelf. Once that is cleaned out, organized or whatever, move to the next small spot, but be sure to keep the organized areas always organized and neat. It takes time but it's helped me.
