SHED

There are those of us who have the natural ability to keep our lives organized-they only have one calendar, they don't have to throw something away in order to find a place for something new and they can find anything they are looking for in a matter of seconds...I know, I would not have believed it either if I hadn't married one of these people. One of my husbands favorite sayings is "theres a place for everything and everything in it's place" and surprisingly he has avoided death for the past 20 years (I pick my battles).
Don't get me wrong I truly admire and yearn for the gift of organization but I don't have it naturally. I am great at organizing but it comes when things are out of control and I have to spend way too much time to accomplish the task and it never sticks. I have purchased organizing books in the past but I needed to try something different.  I found a book called SHED your Stuff, Change Your Life. The idea behind SHED is that by releasing your attachments to obsolete, tangible items in your space and schedule, you will gain the energy, insight, and clarity to make decisions about the big stuff.
So as part of my month of organize my way to happiness I am going to employ the help of Julie Morgenstern and her book SHED.
Step one is a SHED profile Analysis-an online analysis that can be completed for free on www.juliemorgenstern.com I completed the survey and here is the analysis:
     My identity is wrapped up in my attachments.I worry that heaving objects will cause me to forget who I am and what I have done. My identity has been defined for so long by outside sources.

That done-My next step: Creating my theme.
