Just Organize Yourself: Gotta Bite the Bullet

About Me!

My name is JOY.
I thought my mother named me Joy because I brought a certain amount of happiness into her life. But I'm starting to wonder if JOY stands for Just Organize Yourself!

Organization has become much more than a hobby for me- it is a way of life. Organization has transformed a hectic, frenzied, “can’t find anything” home into a mostly peaceful living space; filled with love, learning and accomplishment.

I believe that with effort and determination, anyone can get organized. As new habits are formed, homes are easily and effectively managed, goals are reached and daily life is treasured. I have seen it work over and over again for people in various circumstances.

So come enjoy the journey and let’s calm the chaos together, one step at a time.

Gotta Bite the Bullet

I've gotta do something differerent.Things are not getting done.
I feel like I'm always behind.
I get overwhelmed easily

Actually, I know what I need to do. In fact, I've known for a long time,
but I've been dreading it and avoiding it and...

But I've decided...

Bite the Bullet

and get up early!

I'm totally doing THIS - anyone want to join me?

HappyMom5 said...: Yes! I'm with you on this one. I've already been waking up very early for several weeks now (not by choice!). I guess my body is "set" on that time. Kristen, I know what you mean about twins = no time! My twins are 19 now.; August 3, 2010 at 7:59 AM
johnsonteammom said...: We modified our summer routine in order to start getting our body clocks ready for school to start. Next week, we up it for real. If I want something done, I will be up at 5am. Let's roll.; August 3, 2010 at 12:49 PM
Michelle said...: I'm so glad you're in! This challenge goes against my very (night owl) nature, but I am so ready for a change and Kat's book is so motivating - I just had to do it!

Have a great morning!

Singlemama said...: OMG. I happened across your blog, and love it! I then read this post and figured you MUST be insane! LOL. I too am a night owl and it takes SO much for me to get myself out of bed more than 25 mins before I have to leave for work! When I have my daughter with me, it's even worse because we leave so much earlier! Maybe it can be weaned in. 5 mins early each day?

Little Wonders' Days said...: I love getting up before anyone else. I can get myself together and relax a little before the day starts. I find I'm much more peaceful the rest of the day.; August 8, 2010 at 5:50 AM
