Organization

I've spent most of today cleaning house with the doors and windows open. It feels much better in here than it did this morning, but I'm still far from finished.

The biggest challenge to my living space right now is the piles, folders, and boxes of paper that need to be processed and stored. I have business records, personal financial and health records, family records, inspirational clippings, pictures, articles, and assorted other paper stuff that I need to organize.

I have several filing cabinets, but have yet to actually create a system for them. (The fact that the biggest one is in Wolfling's walk-in closet, which is more often than not blocked doesn't help -- but she's working on that at this very moment.) I need to figure out a system of file folders, portfolios, and etc. . . But it's going to be a big, ugly job and -- I fear -- take up a lot of floor space while I'm in process.

I guess I should start by assessing what's already in my file drawers and make sure there's a workable system there, then perhaps I can expedite getting things into storage rather than piles.

Wish me luck. . .


All of this is extremely ironic considering that my day job is all about keeping other people organized.
