Living LIke an Orgznized Person results week 1
I tried to write this earlier and got some kind of warning that there was an error and it might get deleted. Even "google" gets disorganized once in a while. At least it warned me to save, but I didn't listen. So here I am a few hours later to post the results of week one. I decided that instead of moving from thing to thing I would complete one task before moving on to another. The two things I worked on this week were the kitchen, and laundry. Promptly after eating each meal or snack, I would put everything away, wipe up, load the dishwasher, wash any pots used, etc. Then I would sweep the floor of any crumbs. For laundry I would bring up the load, sort and put away, taking the time to go into each room to do this. The good news is my kitchen was consistently clean and seeing it that way made me more obsessive about doing things right away. Also, there was barely any laundry to do today because it was basically all washed. This week I am going to work on menu planning some more. I also want to report on the results of shopping at a warehouse club. I joined BJ's a few weeks ago with a free trial membership. I've had to go to Yorktown once a week so it was convenient to go to. Being pretty well informed about prices, I tried to be reasonable about what I bought. One thing good about going there was it kind of keeps me out of places like shoprite which is good because I often buy extra things I don't need if I go there. The less often you shop the better. At BJ's I was able to get larger amounts of things I use often (pasta, sauce, frozen pizza, certain snacks...) The bill comes out higher with less items, but now I won't have to buy soap, sponges, Cascade, for a long time. The other thing I want to work on this week is paper clutter, my nemesis. I will think about it like an organized person. Also I want to organize the music and photos I have. But that will have to wait.
