Obsession!

In my quest to be a new strawberry, I sat down and wrote out a list of things I wanted to get done.  Here is a sample of my list:

• set up a home walking track and remove all obstacles
• start packing for seminary
• organize my closet
• write out routines
• spend time with college kids before they leave back to college
• plan meals for one week

Next I went through and marked them "A" for those things most important and "B" for those things that could wait.  You remember this exercise from any self-help organizational book, right?  Daytimer/ Franklin Covey to name two.

Listed in my A group were

• set up track
• write out routines
• time with kids
• meal planning

These are not listed in any particular order so don't call me telling me my kids were listed third on the list!!!  Yes, I did set up my walking track first but I didn't want to trip over anything in the morning while I was walking and break my leg and thus NOT have time to spend with my kids.  ;+)

The great thing about lists and marking them A and B is you can always cross off something on the B list even if you haven't completed all the A's.  Thus was the case yesterday!
 
I got moving yesterday and decided to organize my closet.  I divided up the closet between winter/ summer/ can wear/ can't wear.  Then I went back and lumped together like colors and fabrics.  The pants went on one side, the dresses, skirts on another and the shirts (depending upon summer or winter) on another. Although I can't state this with absolute certainty, I do believe there is a fine line between disorganization and obsession or in my case obsessive compulsive disorder!

Here are the clothes 1/2 to 1 size too snug

Here's when I got all OCD on my closet and divided into like colors!

 

Here's my meager winter side; after all I'm living in South Texas.

 Why would I need a huge winter side???


I was getting a little worried about myself (I bet you were too! Who is this strawberry?!?)  But then I went to take the picture to show you all and let's face it; I'm all about reality. If I were truly OCD, the hangers would be spaced evenly apart and not jumbled on one side and bare space on the other.

and here are my "able to get into" pants + my Mexican dresses. Just love those!

  and well......

I better add a "clean up hangers off the floor" to my list, otherwise no telling how long they'll stay there!

Baby-steps!!! LOL

P.S.  Day 5 of walking every morning for 15 minutes.  I am on my way to making this a habit.
