Simple Sunday: Getting Organized

View this photo on Instagram!

It's time to get organized! Every day, I make a huge list of things to do. On a big sheet of notebook paper, it doesn't seem like it should be that hard to accomplish. Who was I kidding?! I never get everything crossed off. Ever. So I decided it was time to print some blank calendars for the month, label them & assign tasks accordingly. And let me tell you, once I run out of room in the little box, that's it. There's no trying to cram more things to be done into them. Which means, hopefully, that I'll be able to stay on point much easier & actually get everything accomplished in a day.

  1. Any little thing can help - that's for sure. I use the calendar on my phone and have a bunch of reminders there. Beeping in your pocket makes you get stuff done! ha/ha

  7. I might have to steal this idea. I have tried using apps on my phone and computer to track things I need to accomplish, but I am much more a pen and paper girl.

  8. I make a list every morning, stare at it, and barely accomplish anything. Maybe printing a calendar and trying your method would work better. Thank you for the tip, I will give it a try. I need organization so so so so SO bad.

  12. Great idea!! I really need to do something like this too. My kiddo has a pretty ritualistic schedule that when I try to put something in for myself, toddler wars breaks through. Lol. If I wrote it down maybe I will stick to my guns more about things I need to do.

  14. Great idea! I prefer to keep our list of things to do fairly small. I'm not a big fan of rushing around from one thing to the next everyday.

  21. I just went back to paper planning myself. I had previously used my phone but I find it annoying to have to scroll through if I want to know what's coming up next week or next month. Having it set up on paper is so much easier to use.

  22. I am such a list maker. I recently quit work to do blogging and other ventures full time and haven't got my to do lists & plans in an orderly manner yet. I'm still old school and love a paper calender.
