When I got back to Nanaimo, from my mum's, I had a cold. I was a tired-ee. And then I became a bit of a depressedy. So my room was a total mess! I try to keep things tidy, even more so to respect my parents' Extremely Tidy Home than for myself. But I... just... couldn't...
I finally tidied up today.
Here's my little Home Away from Home.
My closet--hard to hang up clothes cause the dresser's in there. I keep miscellaneous things in the top drawer, and then clothes in the rest.
Here's my team. Gunnee, Crabby, Wonder Woman in battle gear, Oscar Wilde, and the Elephant Raja.
My organization system, based on the Getting Things Done system. It might be too complicated, but I'll just adjust as I go.
Tickler = things I'll need in coming months. Eg. A wedding invite tucked under the month when the wedding takes place, so that it's there waiting for me in that month. Real tickler files go day-by-day but my life isn't that busy yet.
Reference = my reference files in here
Someday/Maybe = ideas, homes, thinks
Projects = folders that don't need to be checked every day, but are the projects I'm working on. For example, the binder with my novel notes.
My folders. Money, taxes, health, paperwork (incl stamps, envelopes)...
The next part of the organization system is that you take the things that need doing soon, and you put them into Contexts. I only have two context folders in my room.
One is this little colorful box of things that need to go downstairs. Right now overflowing.
The other is for things I need to do on the computer... or sitting in bed, these days...
My computer desktop has the same sorts of folders...
And on my ipad too. This is where most of my "contexts" are kept. Calls to make, emails to send, waiting for, errands...
Here is where I work when I don't sit at my little desk. Trucker Fernando is modeling.
This is my "side table." All the cables I need, all the books I'm reading, my pills etc. Then if there's a house sale visit I just have to zip up my bag and my room's all clean.
And finally my little table...
...my little view. This week it's been full of fog in the mornings! Looks like I'm flying!
Oh, it's dissipating a bit...
And finally, here is moi.
