I just can't pass these up Carolyn, lolol. So after you get all your shelves put in your closet and all your stuff put up and organized are you gonna FINALLY make up that list of your extra products, lolololol. Remember I said I am not laughing at you I am laughing with you because mine is the same, lol, and I have the nerve to tell my 4 boys to clean their room, lol, I keep dreaming that if I ever had a bigger house it would be organized, we have too many people and too much stuff for this little house, so every room is packed with stuff, ughh.dannyzmom said:

Well I will pull Carolyn out of this one, I have a cleaning lady too, but she doesn't get any where near my office. She doesn't organize or touch paperwork. Now, I get down on my knees and thank the lucky stars, lord, hail marys, who ever the heck I have to thank that I am blessed to have a cleaning lady because although I am organized, lets not show pictures of bathrooms when I am through in the morning. I mean its clean by night time...but man I can tear thru a closet and bathroom before I go to the office in the morning...HOLY HELL....picture the tazmania Devil...YAHOOO

Oh Carolyn...I'm losing you to the dark side!!!! I still haven't gotten my camera back, but I may have to clean up before I take those pictures!! You are all starting to wear off on me...I have the urge to redesign my office space. I am not sure about this labeler thing I usually type out something on the computer and take the wide mailing tape to stick it on. I do have some organizational skills...if I were ever audited, I am so organized. Ok...I know that some sick organized person out there is dying to know what this lost cause may have to offer!!! LOL!!
First, I have a stack of six of those white 8 x11 drawer organizers. On one side I have the drawers labeled Jan, Feb through June. On the same drawer I have on the left side labeled July - Dec. This way, when I get a receipt, etc. I just pop it into the drawer. My reason for having 2 months on one is to "encourage" me enter my expenses on a day other than April 14th!! (Just kidding...sort of!)
When I am ready to record my expenses & income, I have a binder (it is a 4 inch binder) and it has dividers Jan through Dec. I three hole punch card stock paper and put some in each month. Also, I three hole punch any statements from commission checks, bank statements, supply orders, etc. Then for my receipts, after I enter them, I take a glue stick, rub the back and then stick them on the card stock (orderly...of course!!!
) It is so funny...when I show it to my downline they remark how organized I am I have also had hosts remark how organized I am when I unpack and tear down my display...sure have some fooled!! Well, some of us have to get organized now so I have to go!! Love this thread!

Oh NO!! I just returned home from shopping and in my van is a storage cabinet, a smaller cabinet and a cube type jobby to go on top of the smaller cabinet. I made sure that I bought things with cupboard doors with NO GLASS!! I can straighten up my act, but I am a true mess-o-holic and I do not feel much hope for long term recovery! My track record is too long! I so appreciate the pictures and all of the great ideas...they helped me! Well...I'm goin' in ...wish me luck!

Ok, so which one of you sent ESP messages to my husband that he needed to do a major reorganization Today?! I got home from work this morning to one he** of a mess, there were packing peanuts from my christmas present box all over the 'back porch' laundry room area, and I walk into the living room which is where my desk and computer and everything is and it looked like a tornado hit it, he's cleaning and got the tv cabinet in the middleof the room trying to rearrange the whole room, I am surprised that my computer was actually plugged in and was right because he is so computer un-literate, anyway we are totally redoing the room as I type.

Psht...not even close. I have been working on this ALL DAY LONG and you can't physically SEE a difference yet - LOL
THAT is sad. And, yes...the chocolate milk is STILL there,
I have been digging thru files nad files and piles and piles of papers - shredding SO much stuff it's unreal. I have found stuff I didn't even know I had.
Do you have ANY idea how much $$ I am going to save by being organized>?!!?!?
I have been buying and rebuying all sorts of office supplies simply because I thought I ran out when in reality I just misplaced stuff - LOL I am now finding it!!!

Jennifer...I can assure you that it was not me that sent your husband that ESP message!! How is it coming along? I am putting together my cabinets. Jillysue...since many of us are tearing down and setting up again...any quick suggestions on how to set things up? Like questions we should ask? I am finding that my overheated shredder needs to be in my office somewhere and not in another room. I hate the mess it leaves, however. Also, between shredding and recycling paper, I have to come up with a system for these two catagories without creating a new kind of mess!?!?! BAHAHAHAH!
