Focus

1. With 4 kids and an always changing life, I find myself sometimes unable to focus! Do you have that problem, too?

Uh, yeah. Only one kid. But distracted, yes. ALWAYS!

2. What do you do to help yourself keep it together?

Lists. I live by the list. If I write it, it will become true. In theory.

3. What is your favorite organizing tool? A PDA? A calendar?

I need paper and a pencil. PDAs don't work for me. There's something about muscle memory that makes it necessary for me to literally write stuff down so I can see it. All the time. I can't use a small calendar either, because I hate when they get overstuffed (as they are wont); it makes me feel even more anxious about getting things done. I have a good one this year with planning on each weekly double-page spread and lots of space to write meetings and notes in.

4. On a scale of 1-10, how organized are you?

From the outside, I probably look like an 8. I feel like a 4 most days though: just loosely wired together and hoping for no wind to blow me apart!
