52 Missions

If you want to become more organized there are many websites that can help you. FlyLady is very well known. I used to belong to FlyLady, but it became quite overwhelming, especially as I started working & was out of the house for long stretches at a time. FlyLady sends you several e-mails a day with different tasks to be completed. With FlyLady, I always felt like I was running behind.

I recently came across another organizing site. There are many options with this system, although most of them cost money. The one part that is free is 52 Missions. Once a week you receive an e-mail with a mission, and you commit to spending 30 minutes at some point during the week to complete the mission.

I received my first mission last Tuesday. So tomorrow is the last day for me to work at it. The task is to take a garbage bag and go around the house collecting items that are hanging around with no purpose and to purge them from your life. Results will be posted tomorrow.

Creating a structure in life

I need some sort of structure in my life. I need an outside guide to direct my life, to tell me how to go, or else I sort of flounder around, unsure of what I'm supposed to be doing, & completely lose my way.

I've given quite a bit of thought on how to create the structure, but what I've recently come to realize is that in order to create the structure, I must structure the time to actually plot it out. And so, in the interest of better commitment by public declaration, this is my plan.

I will make a point every night, before going to sleep to plan out the following day, and as far beyond as is necessary. I will also use that time for journaling on the previous day. Every night at 10p, I will plan to stop everything & use that time for reflection. I will post on how it is working.
