So I’ve been taking 31 Days to Becoming an Organized Mom right? And then I have to go and read this and it shakes me up and makes me think {a lot!}. What are we organizing? Is organizing just well planned hoarding like they are saying? Why yes, it just might be.
I believe that organizing has it’s place but I spend too much time and too much energy trying to get and stay organized. There’s so much stuff to stay on top of and too many things that I will “get to one day.” Even with Flylady and organizational methods I follow {aka getting rid of things that weigh you down} I still have stuff that I feel like I am hoarding and just trying to organize it so that it looks good.
The blog post I mentioned above has my brain spinning. All I want to do right now is get rid of stuff. I didn’t realize that I wasn’t free but I really want to be free. Free of stuff that weighs me down like a boulder on my shoulders. Free of guilt for not getting something done that is sitting in an {organized or not} space waiting for me to touch it {“one day…”}. I want my kids to be free to play more and clean up crazy toy messes less. I want what we have to be manageable not all consuming.
