Organizing My CN Collection: One Binder to Rule Them All!

[dannyzmom]

I keep every CN I ever get - I have them dating back to my very first month when they were still called KCNs...anyway - they currently fill u p1 and a half binders and it really irks me that they are not all in one.

I went to a garage sale today and got a HUGE-ass binder for 25c...it is like 3.5" deep -- I am going to transfer all my KCNs and CNs into that hopefully - and have them all in one place - yippee!!

I also got 6 pads of sticky-notes for 25c (as if I need more sticky notes? Oy!)

Good job! You can always use sticky notes - especially for a bargain price!!

I am right there w/ you on organizing but your office still looks way better than mine. The most organized thing is my shoe organizer. LOLOkay back to work for me!

This whole Jilleysue Insipres Chef Success thing has REALLY taken hold here - Dh and I donated about 10 boxes and bags full of stuff last week. He totally overhauled the kitchen garage, laundry-room...we did the kids' rooms yesterday - we are overhauling the entire house and it FEELS SO GOOD!!!!

 

[DebbieJ]

Way to go, Carolyn!!! You guys are on a roll!!

You're right--it DOES feel good!

I went to a training here put on by Patti Mocerino and she had Nikki K., one of the founders of the DSWA come and speak. Nikki said that clutter blocks out prosperity. That has really stayed with me. I'm trying to eliminate all the clutter. Baby steps...

I really need to get my desk organized and get all of my CN's together and put them in a binder.....

 

[PamperedChefDebi]

Is there a REASON to keep the CNs that long? I might keep 6 - 12 months' worth but why would I want more than that?

Guess what Carolynn? I'm finally doing it!!!!! I'm organizing! I have about 3 bags of trash so far, and I know that I will have much more! I have 7 1/2 years worth of stuff!!!!
I cleaned out my filing cabinets last night and that is where 2 bags of the trash came from! I haven't really done anything in my personal filing cabinet for YEARS!! besides stacking more stuff in there, or should I say throwing it in there! But I did some major cleaning and changed everything around and now it is making me happy! I moved all my PC stuff to the top 2 drawers and my personal to the bottom two! Sure makes more sense considering, I'm in my PC drawers daily!!!
Thanks to you and all jilleysue and all you cheffers! You helped motivate me, I know I will be happier when I complete this!!!
By the way it started last week when I hauled 3 bags of trash out of my daughters room, okay....old stuffed animals, toys from her brother - she's a girl who is "all girl", she does not need her brother's toys, she never plays with them and they just collect dust!.... old barbies (some had just the bodies and I had to search for the heads!!! she laughed and laughed when I'd yell out "I found a head!" and she yell "throw it out!" and toys from her younger years! I figured if she could be a big girl and depart with all her stuff, so could her Mommy! LOL!
Anyway, I'm inspired by you, carolynn and everyone else! Thanks!

IF I could get a new desk I could organize better. My desk sis to mall to fit much anything other than the computer and printer.

I am hoping to get one in the coming months. I hate that Wlmart stopped lay-a-ways or I would just go put one up.

 

[jodistrauss]

At our house, we live by this motto that we heard on "Trading Spouses". It's kinda weird, but it works for us........"Do you need it? Do you love it? Does it make you money?" If it doesn't fit into one of those categories, it's gotta go!!

[erinyourpclady]

I have every CN since I started as well. They are grouped by year in green binders and I just started my fifth one! I still utilize them so I am keeping them. They have SO many great ideas!!

You really really really have made an impact Jill - truly you have.
I giggle when I look at us - you were the recruit that disappearaed...so, I blessed and released. Then, suddenly you resurfaced like a bat out of hell...we hit it off like soul sisters - and I have YOU to thank for all the positive changes going on around my house. I only hope I can inspire your PC business the way you have inspired my life-reorganization.

<sniff sniff>
Group Hug everyone!!!!

Ok...why you gona go and make me cry on a message board. Kevin is like I am soooooooooooo proud of you. Look at your affecting soo many people on a message board. I didn't think I could or would ever,but THAT IS JUST SOOOOOOOO COOL! SO Many things affect my life, and I want to use my creative outlets soooo much and this seems to be that way. It use to bother me soo much that people said I didn't cook and now I can say I cook, run my own business, have new friends, work, and basicallly say NA NA NA NA NA...hahahahahahha. LMAO. Thank you Carolyn. I never thought after my best friend moved back to Maine I would meet someone so close to my personality. VERY VERY COOL. Country music..."the dance"....just over all light life way of thinking. Fun way of thinking. I hope it is for a long time friend future.

I keep hinting for Kevin, "Oh well, for when I go to Chicago...haha. I wonder if he gets the hint yet.....LOL.
