Cleaning out some drawers and ran across my old writing notebooks. These contain most of my writing collection since I was about 15 years old (they aren’t all completely full, though).

Here, there be dragons…

My beloved collection of blown glass dragons guarding my window…
I discovered while cleaning this evening that my beautiful dragons were practically hidden from view by all the various odd and end decor I had on this table. As much as I loved the ships and lighthouses surrounding this case, they just had to go. Sometimes less is [...]
Character References…
Posted in clutter, life philosophies, organization, personal on January 10, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Right now I am trying to write a character reference letter for a friend and struggling with it. What do you say about ten years of friendship in the course of two paragraphs? I have never written a letter of this nature so it’s a little difficult to summarize.
I guess I have never been fond [...]
Mi Vida Loca

I’m counting the days until the 4 day weekend. This is probably the first time in many years I haven’t had to work Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, and it’s a good feeling.
It’s funny how the holidays always feel so rushed and crazy, yet mine are surprisingly lazy this year. Aside from the few [...]

Today I was looking over the previous entries of this blog, realizing I am once again at square one. The very first entry sounds exactly the same as the way I am feeling now. Let me put it into perspective…

I hate early mornings…I really do. When the alarm goes off I either cuss or resist the urge to throw it across the room. Of course, this is probably because it brings the realization that I’m starting yet another long ass day at work. Since I know mornings are always going to be rough times, I’ve devised [...]
Shadows of the Past

This week has been fantastic and odd at the same time. I’m discovering the clutter removal is making a drastic difference in my life. This week alone was proof.
First off, on the workfront: instead of coming into work droopy and depressed, I came in positive and happy. I smiled at people and tried to include [...]
The evil closet monster…

My closet is my kryptonite; it’s practically impossible to organize. I have tons of clothes, purses, shoes, knitting materials, books, extra junk. In response, here is my shopping list for the week:
Ideas to solve a few issues..
1.) Large basket for knitting materials. I have a bad habit of putting whatever projects I am working on [...]

What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world remains and is immortal.” – Albert Pine
Organization isn’t merely just a habit you practice — it’s a sort of philosophy on life. There are very human traits associated with it beyond the idea that you should clean the house [...]
Work 101

If you believe in what you are doing, then let nothing hold you up in your work. Much of the best work of the world has been done against seeming impossibilities. The thing is to get the work done.
–Dale Carnegie
I think one of the biggest struggles for me is staying organized at work. My [...]
