The Tangled Web We Weave-Emphasis on Tangle

I think of myself as somewhat organized but having taken on too much, in regards to commitments, projects, job, family, life to have things as organized as I would like. I know that things would go more efficiently if they were better organized, but that takes time which then puts me further behind on other things which then leads to me not having time to get organized so that I might save time, a classic paradox. What follows is a perfect example of what I am talking about. Note it is Monday and I started writing on Saturday but ran out of time and very well might this morning as well, but here goes.

Saturday 5:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m.
My job on the remake of Fame ended on Friday and so this morning I awoke at 5:30 and decided to take it easy(ha, ha) and just send out two e-mails in regards to the times of Skye's basketball games.

Somehow, I misplaced the schedule and everything else regarding the YWCA basketball program that Skye is playing in on the team I am coaching, which along with coaching duties involves the coordintation of things like picture day and after game snacks etc.

The search for this notebook led me to find many other organizational deficiencies throughout the house prompting a Spring cleaning/organizing campaign that has resulted in emptying closets, unloading book cases, clearing desks and piles of stuff throughout the house in need of sorting. After a couple of hours of doing this I found the basketball stuff under the desk where I had been working, sent out the e-mails and then continued on with the "relaxing" Saturday.

This project I am sure will take a great deal of time, perseverance and diligence. I include pictures because when I don't I get emails asking for pictures back in the blog so that is why you get to see my piles of jumble.



I love magazines and have a hard time parting with them. So I have many, many of them and they get sorted and shelved. I have fallen behind on this.



One of the many book sorting stations.




That was all on my desk this morning.

Too much stuff, but getting rid of stuff ends up taking a ridiculous amount of time, more on that latter.
