Today I will...

The keeping of it together is actually going quite well. Post coming soon about the still-in-progress major reorganization and deep cleaning of the bathroom, closet, bedroom and office. Some visible progress is being made. I was on-time to yoga with the boyfriend last week!

Some days, however, it's hard to know what to do and wear to start. I suspect that people who are in control of their lives always know where they're supposed to be and what they're supposed to be doing there. I usually don't.

Today, on a day when it was hard to get started, I decide to use something I pulled together to help me get going. By printing one page for each day, I am able to see what my whole day looks like - a definite help!

Using it was great! As long as I was working off of the sheet, I knew I was doing something that needed to be done. This kept me off pinterest for most of the day - a major achievement!

Have you tried using the daily planner? What do you think? I'm going to keep using it for a couple days and then make some updates!

making things again

In a past life, I used to design things. Actually, a lot. It used to be my job to make pretty things.

I don't miss that part of my life, but I do sometimes miss making things. So today, I started to create. It felt awesome.

This seems like a good motto for today. My life is a busy, crazy and messy. (See yesterday's post.) Getting a little bit stronger every day (Sara Evans shout out!) might help me keep it together. I told you I was going to do it in style.

Here we go.

Ok, confession time.

I absolutely, totally, completely do not have it together. I am a mess. I can never find my keys, my drivers license, my favorite lipgloss or a credit card. Forget about knowing where they all are at the same time.

Confession #2.

Sometimes I can fake it. I have my life just together enough that from the outside, you might even think I'm one of those crazies who files her mail. As if I even know where my mail is at any given time. It helps that I usually have something baking when people make this judgment. It doesn't help if they ask to use my bathroom and see foundation caked on the counter.

Now it's resolution time.

It's a new year and I'm headed into a new phase of my life. (Leaving that sloppy student time and moving towards job-holding, adulthood.) I want to stop faking it and actually learn to keep it together. Not sure how, just yet. I'm definitely not going to turn into one of those soccer-moms with a binder for cut out coupons. I plan on doing it with a little style.
