Thoughts for the Day.... Things to do, Blogs, and more.

Blogs are on my weekly list. And now, my Squidoo is on my weekly list.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Here are a few of the things I'm doing:

1. Finding things to sell for my new Etsy page I will have up soon.

2. Do Taxes.

3. Fix Squidoo pages and send an email about it.

4. Finish the blogs for the week.

5. Go on the KyNect page (again) and see if my insurance choice will save (again)

6. Call KyNect again to let them know about website problems. Maybe.

7. Organize papers

8. Organize everything else! At least some of it.

9. Put list of items and prices for ConCave on artist sheets.

10. Get more bags of things ready to go. Out.

In the meantime, while posting to blogs and taking care of FB pages, I see some very interesting links. Here are some to share:

5 Great Things Organizing Is Doing for Me

My Organizing Journey - - here are some fun things about it.

Everyone knows the downside of organizing (and cleaning!) - - the time, the effort, the packing, the getting rid of stuff, the dusting, the labeling, the foot and muscle soreness, etc. etc.


But there are some really great things about it too.

Here are some I thought of lately:

1. I am finding things I thought I lost!

2. I feel good about myself.

3. I am excited about projects for the future, finding crafts and etc. while organizing.

4. I am getting rid of dust and old magazines, plus recycling paper, magazines, books, and cardboard.

5. I am getting in better shape doing a lot of carrying and walking.

Are you organizing too? Or are you pretty much caught up with that? Do you do Spring Cleaning instead, and then stay on top of it?

I am definitely on an Organizing Journey because I tend to collect things that need to go, like magazines, old books, new books, etc. etc. Now I am sharing these things with others, donating to thrift stores, trading in for other books, and putting things where they go.

There are some groups I use now to get me motivated and to help me stay on course with my organizing. The best one is the FlyLady group. Although they do have some things for sale there, most of their services are free, like a free daily planning page, hints, and a message board.

Are you organizing too? Leave your thoughts about organizing and cleaning below. Do you have some handy tips?

And thanks for visiting today! :-)

Getting Motivated and Organized!

A jungle scene! So lush.

GETTING BACK TO POSTING ON MY BLOG:
It’s been so long since I’ve been able to post here.

I’ve been VERY busy – getting ready for another HUGE blast of selling on Ebay. I’m also selling for others. My daughter’s here in town now, too, and it’s been great to have her here.

Here are some things I’ve been doing today that I’d like to share with you.

First, I heard about GOOGLE’S NEW STREET LEVEL VIEW online and thought I’d go and check it out.

This link tells more about it.

Google puts a YouTube video online to explain Street view:

I think this is pretty cool. Not sure how many cities or streets they have on camera though.

THE POST OFFICE’S NEW PRICING

Today I made my new USPS Prices book using the NEW shipping prices online at http://www. usps.com.

EAUCTIONAIR.COM’s PODCASTS

The latest information about auctions can be found at the BEST podcast about Ebay and other auctions. It’s here:
http://www.eauctionair.com/category/podcasts/

A NEW AUCTION LISTING SITE: AUCTOMATIC:

A new Ebay listing site is in its Beta stages at https://auctomatic.com/user/launch. You can get a 90 day free trial by helping them decide what features to put on their site later.

ABOUT BECOMING MORE ORGANIZED:

At home, I have things from my teaching period, things from my “back to Western” period, books from many years, and lots of things I want to sell online. NOW I am getting organized and getting my place in order.

I re-found the perfect site to help me with all my things and my ever-present “stuff”. Here is the site:
http://www.flylady.com.

They have a “babysteps” feature where the helpful Flylady (“Fly” stands for “Finally Loving Yourself...”) slowly gets you up to speed on organizing and cleaning up your house. Check it out! I am guessing that some of my readers just MIGHT be organizationally challenged, too.

Once I learn her methods, I can get my house in super shape in just a few months.

ABOUT WRITING FOR MY BLOGS:

I hope to include this blog as one of my “must-do” areas – at least one posting a week. I have some pictures I’ll be posting soon about Thursdays, when I am downtown making clay and practicing.

Until next time,
HAVE A WONDERFUL, EDUCATIONAL, AND CREATIVE WEEK AND MONTH!

and.... (something I like to say to myself)


THINK POSITIVE!
