Epiphone: Organization

 Planning ahead. Such a simple concept. But it can literally be applied to absolutely everything in my life. From something as small as de-linting my clothes, or making sure that all my rompers already have their matching belts ready to go, to something as big as planning a party, or a Halloween costume. 

    I never thought about it much before. I’ve literally been living moment to moment, growing in frustration as my life and the days roll on. I don’t even have a bedroom garbage set up, so no wonder I end up with garbage all over my room. SUCH a simple concept, really. And ridiculous that I never thought to put it into action.

     I could be so much more efficient if I only thought ahead a little bit. I really do sound like an echo of my parents, but I guess it hasn’t been that simple for me. I never learned to do things on my own because I always had someone bailing me out. Maybe if I had been allowed to fuck up once in awhile, I’d have grown a lot better.

    The trouble is, putting this into action is a lot of work. Because not only do I have to catch up to the present moment, I then have to throw everything around to be planned ahead. And it’s not something I’ve been used to doing, so it’s going to be a challenge. Maybe I haven’t properly implemented it at work because it’s something I haven’t really learned in my personal life (as ridiculous as that might be), but if I start thinking that way at home, it could really help me.

    I’m not really sure where to begin. So far most of my laundry has been put away. I don’t have a garbage can for my room, or money to buy anything like that. But I’m still going to try.

     I don’t have any new ideas yet either, except for a garbage can. Ok, maybe a basket for odd socks. Maybe I could crochet one! Maybe I could crochet a garbage can… I’m full of ideas now… I’m going to keep tidying. I’m bringing my blackberry with me so I can make lists of things I need to buy, etc. Or maybe I can start trying to make better use of what I have, instead of accumulating more things.

    I’m starting to feel more alive.
