Organization is Key, but I lose my keys pretty often. In other words, my life isn’t always well organized.
I know you’ve heard of yo-yo diets, well have you heard of yo-yo organization? It exist, it really does. And it the best way to describe my way of staying organized.
Some weeks I’m on it, writing everything down, checking them off once Ive done it. Keeping my craft room and the house clean.Ive even managed to took a few times that week and keep all my orders together and ship them out earlier than planned.
Then the following week I barely write anything down, forget what I hav to do. Order dinner from Uber eats most of the week or the boys just have cereal instead of a home cooked meal. I can’t even spell organization that week and lets not forget the craft rom looks like a tornado hit it.
And the yo-yo organization cycle continues.
On those good weeks, there’s a few products that really helps me to stay on track and I’ve listed a few for you guys. So continue reading and don’t be ashamed of being a yo-yo organizer like myself.
Dry Erase Calendar & Memo
This dry erase Calendar & Memo board is my ultimate favorite. (the website didn’t have the exact one I have but this is the closest) It’s a great size and its hung up right in the middle of my craft room. For each month I write down my appointments, due dates, and other plans. I also write a list of things I need to research for the month. The most important information that I keep on the board all year around is a List of my Accomplishments. I kept finding myself complaining about not moving fast enough or making enough progress yet when I did, I didn’t celebrate them or just quickly forgot about it because I kept focusing on what’s next.
It comes in gold, black, and gray.
