Feeling Super Busy and Overwhelmed?

Ever have those moments that you feel like you are running in circles, clutching to your to-do list and you feel as though your head is about to splat all over your mini van? I know I have! Remember, you can only do one thing at a time. Take a deep breath, focus on one task and then move to the next.

You may struggle with getting organized because you are overwhelmed and not sure where to start. Always break a bigger project down into smaller project. For example, if you are determined to get your home office organized, here are some possible smaller projects:

1. Desk


2. Closet


3. Shelves


4. Files

Yes, we moms are pretty awesome and talented, but we also can be our own worst enemy. Sometimes we think we have to do it all.......at the same time.

Home Offices

Home offices can come in all sizes and can be in various locations. But, most importantly, it has to be functional and meet your needs. Below are some examples to improve functionality and efficiency:

· Develop an organizing system. Tables and desks are often quick unloading zones for mail and school papers - the clutter can quickly pile up, making it hard to find anything. When an organizing system is in place completing tasks, such as mail sorting and filing, is easier.

· Add a tickler file and an action file to file cabinets. File cabinets often hold all the important papers but your putting hands on a needed document may not be easy and takes time. With this trick papers are easy to locate and file.

· Keep the workspace clear. A clear work space makes the desk usable once again. Take the time to make sure action files are kept in the desktop file within easy reach. Papers that are not needed as often should be filed in a filing cabinet.

· Create specific work zones. Work space is often limited so it's important to make the best use of it. Create zones for specific task, such as the work, supplies and printing zones.
