Organization
When I moved into my new place back in March, I was determined to set up my room quickly. The reason for this urgency was three fold,
1. In the past, I have generally been so bad at getting things up by the time I get my room to the way I want it to be, I am moving out of it.
2. We had invited friends over for a party and I didn’t want my room to be the only space not put together.3. I have an extremely motivating roommate.
I did get everything up, but it was rather haphazard and was basically a repeat of my last bedroom, except it was 10 times more cluttered and dark. So while my sister was in town, she joyfully joined me in the task of de-cluttering, lightening and organizing my room.
One of my main concerns in my room is my desk area. I am generally not the most organized individual and as two out of my three jobs require me to work out of my house, it is vital that I create myself a more efficient working space.
Here is a picture of my messy unorganized work space. This week I am researching and designing organizational possibilities. Especially for that wall. I have already received some excellent suggestions from friends, but feel free to comment and lend your ideas. I’m open to it all!
My main goal is to not only to a create a functional and efficient work space to administrate my career, but to be a better steward of the space and gifts that God has given me. In Mass last Sunday, Father said a very powerful thing. “Nothing is yours. Everything is a gift from God.” I look at my life and the gifts that I am given, my family, friends, home, experience; the list is truly endless. Everything I have is absolutely a gift from God. I want to be a better steward of those gifts, to be worthy of them. As I work on reorganizing etc. I want to be creative with the things that I have. There will be no throwing everything out and getting all brand new. As much as possible, I will work with and rework the gifts that I have been given. It is much more fun and creative that way any way.
I’m thinking this reorganization may take a couple weeks. I will share my progress. Please please share ideas!
