At work I came into a position that my predecessor was in for 26 years! Suffice it to say she had her own way of doing things, keeping organized, or lack thereof. I came into 26 years things done her way. All ways I would not have done things. So I am currently going through all files, and folders, and documents to try to make them more efficient. On top of that I am trying to figure out what is the right way of doing things, as I have come to find out there were a lot of things done incorrectly in the past 26 years. This in itself is a very large task to take on. I have actually gotten a big chunk of it accomplished. I really should have taken a picture of the before of how my office was set up. Basically there was a piece of wood held up by two small file cabinets on one side of the wall. The computer was on that piece of wood. On the other side of the office was the desk with the phone. NOW, if you were me you would think this a quite asinine setup. I quickly changed that. I have since acquired a bookshelf, moved some stuff around and have made it as organized as I possibly can with what I have to work with. I still have the constant piles on my desk, but I guess that will always be the case. If I had a bigger desk and not a teachers desk where the chair doesn't even fit underneath it, I think it would bother me much less. Now back to work to try to get more organized....Wish me luck.

a place for everything and everything in its place
I have been on this kick to try to be even more organized. I have to say it is a very daunting task. I am trying to be more organized at work and at home and maybe I am biting off more than I can chew.
