Organization

My life is crazy right now.  I don't know what happened.  I used to be so organized, so on top of things and now I feel like I have no idea what is happening in my own life.  Today I figured out why.

There are a number of reasons but the main two are as follows:

1.  I stopped using my planner.  While I was out at school, I learned to use a planner.  For those 8 months, my world fell apart without my planner.  Every night before I went to sleep, I pulled out my planner and wrote down a to-do list of everything I wanted to get accomplished the next day.  The tasks at the top of the list were nonnegotiable.  They had to get done that day.  The second set of tasks were the its-best-if-it-gets-done-today sort of list.  The last section was the at-some-point section.  The next morning, I set to work on my list.  By midday, I would reevaluate, and at night I checked off everything I had done.  Then, I set off to make the next day's list.  It was remarkably efficient.  I'm going to start doing that again.
2.  I have two planners.  One for my life, and one for my cleaning log (I clean Sister Jensen's house and I use this planner to keep track of when she wants me there, how long I spend, etc.).  There is nothing wrong with 2 planners, but when they aren't perfectly synched, it creates havoc.

So tonight, I am fixing the problem.  I am going to sit down and organize my life.
