My Personal Project
My Personal Project
I love to organize everything! That is why I choose that as part of my company tagline.
But it’s time for me to make a confession. I have a huge organizing project of my own that I have been putting off for years.
Photos, photos, and more photos!
I have boxes filled with photo albums. Do you know those sticky page albums? The ones that can actually damage the photos? I really wanted to change them. However, I was busy raising my family and didn’t have time to redo what I had done.
Well, now is the time. I want to get the old photos out of those albums and organize all of them into photo boxes.
In the past, I started a couple of scrapbook photo albums. I’d like to continue this project, but first, I need to get organized.
By posting my personal project I hope to stay accountable to all of you. Wish me luck!
Do you struggle with getting and staying organized?
Are you afraid to start an organizing project just to be overwhelmed or lose motivation in the middle, to be left with even more chaos? You are not alone. That’s the fear of most people who don’t have time to allot to a big organizing project.

I am so impressed. ALMOST inspired to do this myself, but there are a few other projects first! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Lisa. Keep watching for my progress. It will help keep my motivated and honest.
Curious…how did you become inspired to become the expert of organizing?
For some (like me) it comes naturally. I was always the most organized child in class and employee at the job. What it takes is learning how to teach others to organize themselves. Everyone organizes differently. The skill comes from being able to help individuals come up with what is doing to work for them. It’s like solving a puzzle.
Thanks for the question.
