Brain clutter (why I've been m.i.a)

Like I have said before I enjoy organizing. 

Organizing things. The things in my house are organized.  

I can organize things, stuff, doo dads etc. till the cows come home 

and I'm pretty good at it if I do say so myself.  

What I can't seem to get organized is my time. 

I stink at time management.  

Even at the wise ole age of 32 ;-) 

I still think that I can cram a weeks worth of to-dos in one day! 

I'll admit I'm a procrastinator at times but

I also have poor judgment on how long things will take.  

And then you throw in the whole perfectionist thing and well...

it's not pretty.

A really nice lady I was chatting with at Joannes today summed it up perfectly, she said
"I've figured out that I am not as remarkable as I think I am."  
 So true, at least for me.
EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I think I can handle it
and EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I feel overwhelmed. 

It's a daily battle. 

For some reason this last week I've been losing.  I have not been good at multitasking or well any kind of tasking. I felt like I had a million things to do but didn't even know where to start!  

So I did a lot of time wasting because I felt so overwhelmed.

 I just needed to stop and gather my thoughts.

Instead of working on my blog I have been doing some fun things like making a ton of to do lists, balancing the checkbook, writing up a budget for the livingroom redo, organizing and purging, getting this magical doo dad (that will hopefully help me simplify and organize my life)

I know how to party, right?! Whoo Hoo!!

My brain is starting to feel less cluttered.  

Aaaahhh! 

I'm so glad I slowed down and took a step back instead of trying to do it all.  It's another step in the right direction towards having more balance in my life and cutting myself some slack.  

So today I feel victorious!

And tomorrow I will be back with a post about a really simple but makes a big statement party decoration.  

 Hope to see you then!
