Getting Organized

Getting organized after a move, personal or business, is at best trying.  You may think you were organized before the boxes got packed, but let me tell you that once you start unpacking, you may wonder why you even put certain items in the box and paid to have them moved.  The busiest time to move is now.  May 15-September 15 accounts for the busiest time of the year for moving companies as well as rental trucks for the DIY’s.

I am unpacking boxes as I write and after three weeks I am wondering when it will end.  Last week, I lost a few important receipts and I knew it was time to get organized.  I received a Idea Collective Mini Hardbound Journal from TOPS Products for free a few months ago.  It got packed and unpacked and as I desperately tried to find my lost receipts an idea was born.  Use the journal to help me get organized.  Write down my never-ending to-do list.  Put receipts in the expanding envelope in the back of the journal.  Write down thoughts for future house projects.  Record what got broken in the move.  Things are looking up.  I still never found one of the receipts but I know I won’t lose another.  I am getting organized.

The Idea Collective Mini Hardbound Journal is great for capturing thoughts, quick notes or anything that inspires you.  Designed with the creative person in mind, these products feature all the premium details you’d expect in a high-end notebook.  The durable covers feel luxurious and the smooth writing paper makes it easy to get carried away.  Includes an expanding envelope with attractive yellow gusset to hold odds and ends.  Wide ruled acid-free fine cream paper and roomy lines make writing more enjoyable.  Check out www.bit.ly/NewProduct-Idea for more info on this great product.

Thanks TOPS, you saved the day.  Now, back to unpacking.  Only 7 days left before my 30 day self-imposed deadline of being box free.  Wish me luck!
