I am calling it quits for today in the scrapbook room. All-in-all, a very successful day. I can (almost) see the floor – a few more inches than I could this morning. The main things that I accomplished today were sorting items and putting them in an actual place. Even if I didn’t get a lot of the photos sorted, I made the room more accessible and am in the process of getting it ready to actually work (in other words, I’m getting it in order).
I will go back to this room after I get some of the other needed areas taken care of. This room could easily take me weeks to get it in order the way I want. At this moment, I just don’t have enough time to do all that needs done unless I stay on-track.
I could’ve had more done in the scrapbook room today but I got side-tracked. After doing 3 loads of laundry, I ended up getting today’s mail taken care of and I put together a monthly ‘to-do’ list. After all, I’ve got another graduation next year. I don’t want it to creep up on me like this one has. Next year, instead of running around frantically trying to get everything done on time – and trying to remember what should be done, I’ll have a journal to remind me when I have to get something specific done – like ordering invitations, pictures, food, renting the tents, etc. This will help me immensely and maybe (I’m hoping, anyway) I won’t be quite so worried about everything that needs to get done.
So, even though I got side-tracked, I think it was something that I really needed to do, anyway. If nothing else, I should at least be able to get this room cleared up enough to be able to shut the door when it’s time for the graduation party.
I’ve thought quite a bit about this since I’ve started to read blogs. I recognize your insights and experiences here. They’re very candid and it could be arduous to seek out this info elsewhere.
