So, yesterday I didn't post at all. I spent a lot of time thinking about planning...WHAT??? I see this for what it is. Conscious procrastination! This is something that I EXCEL at!! But, while I was doing my procratinating I was making some mental notes. I have a notebook in which I am beginning to write my plan. I am going to work on planning my days, my tasks, meals, spending, and anything that I can stuff into my planning book.

First task then (as I see it) is making the lists in my notebook, taking inventories and creating a routine. I know, I know. To those of you who are already organized and neat and tidy this seems like a big fat waste of time. Remember, I have NO SKILLS when it comes to organizing...anything. What so many people do without thinking about it I seem to not have any concept of how to do. So, I am going to write it all down and try to follow what I have written.

I have a couple of sources I will be drawing information and tools from. One is Cindy at www.cindysporch.net. She is an amazing resource for planning, saving, organizing and so many other things. I love getting her emails and will incorporate a lot of her wisdom. Another is Leanne Ely with www.savingdinner.com, Mary Hunt from www.everdaycheapskates.com is another phenomenal resource and don't forget FlyLady!

I think what I am trying to say is that the rest of this week and next week will be my planning time and I will try to have my schedules and lists and such all ready for Day 1. January 1, 2010!!
