Making time and Getting Organized...

It's daunting at times, trying to manage my home, business, spend time with my family, and take time for myself. It's nearly the end of the year and I've got so many plans for 2015 I figured it was time to start getting organized. I'm pretty scatter-brained (just ask my husband). I can't count the times I've left home with my lunch sitting on the counter, lost some important document...not to mention all of the projects in some random state of (in)completion! I have good intentions but very little follow through. Writing this blog is a perfect example. I have a blog for our shop, Heather Creek, that I had intended to update regularly, posting photos of before and after projects, etc. My last post was in February! So much for that! I need to push myself to get organized, both at home and at work. I even went so far as to purchase an organizer. I know, it's archaic that I bought an actual organizer and am not using my phone or laptop. I am a paper person, always have been, and it's easier for my this way. I realized that in order to grow my business, manage the shop, and have time to breathe in the middle of it all, that I needed to be more on top of things. I know at some point I will have to submit and hire someone to help me. I'm hoping to put that off for a bit until I have an actual game plan. So, I'm starting small, a petite goal I know I can reach. A weekly before and after post of a project I've completed. This will accomplish 2 things, forcing me to actually COMPLETE a project, AND update the blog. A two-fer I can handle. Wish me luck!
