Organizing Breakdown Printable

I needed to make a more thorough to do list of my projects so that I actually have more directions and feel like I can accomplish them. I've started way too many projects in the last two weeks, and nothing has been getting completed, but all have them have had little bits done. So I made this sheet to help myself and give me direction on each of my multiple projects! Below is just a little sample, the download doesn't have the URL all over it ;)

This is an example of what I put on one of mine:

Organization Project: Desk

Items/Space to be organized: 

1. 1st Drawer

2. 2nd drawer

3. cupboard to right

4. shelving

5. actual desk

6. top of desk

Items needed to complete project:

1. document boxes

To do:

1. get rid of old discs

2. file

3. go through paperwork on desk

Needless to say sometimes I need more specifics to actually make things feel more manageable, and as I keep working on them, I'll keep adding more and crossing off stuff off my list!

Decluttering Inspiration

I have less than 7 weeks left before my baby furniture arrives and a house that needs a lot of decluttering and mission organization success.

A helpful idea I came across was 20/10s. It is where you spend 20 minutes cleaning/organizing and then 10 minutes doing whatever you want to do. But start small, maybe two sessions of 20/10s (an hour), the first day. You don't want to burn yourself out. This idea comes from Unfuck Your Habitat (sorry for the language, but a really inspiring tumblr of before and after pictures and a few tips here and there).

Here's a short post with 18 Five-Minute Decluttering tips. I do #16 a lot, and between finding new homes and organizing all the stuff, I make new messes to clean up, but I guess I am making some progress.

Luckily, I am not a hoarder and most of my house is relatively clean. The problem is in the midst of cleaning it always tends to look worse before it gets better (I should take pictures!). That's the stage we're at. And being pregnant doesn't give me an endless amount of energy to work with. Hopefully between 20/10s and putting away 5 random items when I have time, I can hopefully start to make bigger strides. Then I'll get back into how behind I am in scrapbooking... wait.. what? Back to baby steps! Step 1: 20/10s!
