"mommy" organization

What is "organization", REALLY?  Is it possible to BE "organized" without it actually appearing that you ARE organized?  For instance, I have piles of clutter everywhere, HOWEVER I know where my stuff is!  Need the small camera?  It's under the duct tape on the kitchen hutch!  Need the A-Z binder tabs?  Under the Ross bag on the kitchen table.... But that doesn't count as being organized, right?  Oh well. ;)

Don't get me wrong, I TRY!  I really do!  I get a good system, then keep it up for a week, maybe two, then fall "off the wagon".  I told a friend once, "Under all my piles of junk, there is the skeleton of a great system!"

Well, I am taking this on again!  Some friends of mine SWEAR by FlyLady.net!  I gave Fly Lady a try once, and couldn't seem to get ALL of her stuff to work for me.  I DID find that a few things were quite helpful and doable.  Shine your sink every night and 15 minute sessions.  You can do ANYTHING for 15 minutes.  Set a timer.  If you have not heard of Fly Lady, or if you have and just have not tried her system, here is a link to her "Beginner BabySteps" page.  Give it a try! http://www.flylady.net/d/getting-started/31-beginner-babysteps/

I have also found it helpful to write out my daily (and weekly) plan. My favorite daily printable that I have found is the "Original Daily Docket" and can be found at this link:

These two links also have many useful printables as well, including ones for grocery shopping and babysitters.

Happy organizing!  I will GLADLY take any tips, tricks and hints you all have to offer!!  Just comment on this post!

Oh, and to verify what I said about the kitchen hutch.....
