I’m very big on organising. I might have to blog about it more :)

Getting and staying organized is one of the keys to being successful. I noticed that you are still using lists to keep track of your tasks. There is a new way to manage your next actions that I think you'll find most rewarding. It's called a <a HREF="http://www.bubbleplanner.com" REL="nofollow">Bubble Map</a>. It works better for me because I'm not a linear thinker, and I find that I end up getting more done. This is excellent advice. Getting and staying organized is one of the keys to being successful.

I always find in a relationship, that if one person is (insert attribute here) the other person will step back in that area. For example - when I am angry about something, The Other Half is not. If I am not angry, he is. He's a bit anal retentive when it comes to cleaning and because I can rely on him to do that, I take a bit of a backseat on it. <br/><br/>Where it gets annoying to me is when I am excited or motivated about something, he is not.

I have cleaned of my desktop maybe 100 times - and it has never stayed organised.

I can see it would be really easy for me to keep doing it, too. I'm 32, and I could get to the end of my life just having cruised through it. But.. there's stuff I want to do. I have big dreams, and they require cash in order to do them. <br/><br/>I've been floating for a while, living like there might be no tomorrow, I guess partly because I am scared that there might not be a tomorrow. Fear is holding me back from doing what I really want to do - as well as a lack of organisation. :)<br/><br/>If this business does actually work out, I'll be thrilled. I am prepared that it might not, though. I think that's important as well. I'm not expecting to make anything out of it for a while and I am expecting to put in a fair bit of work to achieve it. <br/><br/>If it takes off, we may be able one day to buy a nice property that will belong to us, where I can have some chickens, and maybe.. a cat boarding place, or a cat breeding place. I would *love* to breed cats. I know little about it but I'm willing to learn. I'd also like to be able to accommodate students who are visiting this country from overseas, I had a friend who did that and we used to take the students out, it was so rewarding and wonderful.<br/><br/>That's the dream.

Cugat – you have to be motivated to stay organised, and you have to make it easy for yourself to do it. That’s the trick. I have cleaned of my desktop maybe 100 times – and it has never stayed organised. Now I know *how* I can make it stay organised, it’s something easy I can follow. :)

Leigh – if you thought the desktop was bad, you should see the archives! ;) I’m gonna fix it slowly.

Tending to live with the flow of things rather than even taking notice. <br/><br/>Too busy dreaming and pondering ordinarily to take much notice of my physical environment. I'm cluttery.. totally.. but I've learned to live with it. :)<br/><br/><br/>Peace, <br/><br/>~Chani I am so *not* that kind of person.

Perhaps I will try taking in a few of your tips, ease my way into it.<br/><br/>I have to say though, I just about fainted when I saw the before pic of your desktop :O LOL. I only have my recycle bin and firefox icon on my desktop..that's it. Great post, good on you for making the changes you need.
