Getting organized

I like to think of myself as an organized gal.  
My hubby would say a woman with type A - anal in organization - approaching OCD status.  
Well I wave that flag proudly.  
I love lists. I love to check items off when done. 
I love to make a budget and stick to it - or actually do better at it. 
But there are two fields I suck at organizationally and because of it I lose time doing them.  Housework/cleaning and menu planning.  
I know so simple but I just can't wrap my head around it - until now.
I am joining A bowl full of lemons on her weekly challenges..and first up is creating a :

Home Management Binder. 
 
Do you see that binder of wonderfulness? ( Insert squeals from organized, list- making women everywhere.)
In this binder we will address such items as: 

Monthly cleaning schedules..
yeah I can finally have a clean house in the least amount of wasted time. 
Meal planning.. 
I am so stoked about this. ( I may even start couponing)

Anything to do with lists and budgets I am all over it.
It is not to late to join up- you can be organized for 2011 too..just click on the button and you can start.

  1. You and I are so00oo much alike girl! (on a completely different note, you know that binder you posted here - well, I looked everywhere yesterday for that stencil to paint my drop cloth curtains like that - and that colour brown too... no luck though, might have to make my own stencil..)

  3. Thanks, I'm hoping to win one of those stencils as they are quite popular with the giveaways here in blogland. I tried just using masking tape and spray paint (on a sample) trying to do the criss-cross thang, I dunno.

  4. I'm so looking forward to being organized again when we move into the new house. Can't wait to get all of my stuff out of storage. Although I'm thinking there is a giant garage sale in my future because clearly I don't need all of that stuff, right?
