Finally Getting Organised, As I Enter This New Year Of My Life (#166)

This year, I'm going to try and be more organised. I know I'm surprising myself here. Of course I get organised for some things, I have too. But overall, I really like to just let things flow. As much as being a solo mama let's me. I've always resisted against the idea of being really organised. (Okay don't get too excited, I'm not going to get super organised, just more than I have been.) I've witnessed the benefits and been told enough times.

It's the rebel in me, that puts up a resistance to anything that resembles an organisation in any shape or form. It just always seem so unnatural to me. The super organised type. Nature has its own sense of order, which I gravitate more towards. The one that always lives room for being spontaneous and wild. Being organised, always seem very tamed to me. Like I'd have to rein myself in. And I'm just too wild for that

But luckily as you get older, you get wiser. You realise, it's a matter of perspective. But still, the action of doing, takes longer. Plus, I've always managed in my own natural flow kind of way.

Aiming, to keep my space more clutter free, like this.

But I'm in need of a change and I think I can afford to organise myself better. Putting more effort into planning my days, in keeping myself healthy snd agile. Making lists (there I have said it) and finally organising my family space more. Which really means getting rid of more stuff and being more strict on what I allow come into the truck. I do let things slide a bit sometimes.

Anyone who lives in a tiny home, will understand how important it is to keep downsizing, even more so when you have children. Most would probably say, how important it is to be organised as well. But I've managed up until now and there are other things that are more important to me, than being super organised.

But I think, that if I wish to bring more into my life, them I have to make room for it and that means being more organised, starting with my daily life. So watch this space and I will keep you all updated, on how it all goes.

This is my response, to the following question from the Ladies Of Hive Community, weekly contest...

What would you do differently or start doing for yourself next year?
