organized chaos: my cards went in the mail on the 27th (they arrived later than originally promised by shutterfly, but I was also late in designing them), and I sent the thank you notes at the same time.

but, my Christmas stuff is organized in labeled (sharpie) bins and they have a designated spot in the basement.

In reply to deleyna. It's so funny - closets are not my kryptonite. Bins, bags and garages are my kryptonite. I think my sorta-kinda-neat closets come from 2 places. (1) our closets are all open and visible. (2) In a jumbled closet, I might accidentally shake hands with a spider or some other spooky bug. I don't like in-house spiders or surprise bugs. I get completely wigged.

In reply to Julie Glover. Juuuulie! As someone who has watched you organize a whole room of writers, I love your lists! At least from the outside, they work great. :-) And aren't ALL writers forgetful?

This is beautiful and joyous, Jenny. I'm not sure where I fall. It depends on if you open the closets or not.

Sometimes I'm organized. Other times I get overloaded and then all bets are off!

I am the maker of lists! So many lovely lists and great expectations, but not as many checkmarks on those lists as I'd like. Oh well, I have found some options that work reasonably well for me, and apologies to everyone around for my forgetfulness is just a feature of my life. 😉

In reply to Jae. You are 100% not the only one, Jae!! There are lots of us here. If you read the top comment, even the ones who are not on the disorganized side of the fence have angst about it.

In reply to Dover Whitecliff. Wow! That's quite a journey. (And I agree, mess is harder when there is a lot of it.) And now I want to find out how to discover what kind of dragon I am. :-)

In reply to roughwighting. Ha! I've been noticing that. I'm on a collagen kick right now to try to fight back. :-)

I think it depends. Sometimes I can get really organized and make life easy for myself and others... not so much. Glad to know I'm not the only one that struggles. 🙂
