January is "GO -MONTH"?  Who knew?  messy desk not susan goulding's realtor

Do you know what "GO -Month" means?

I certainly didn't.  No, it has nothing to do with the new zodiac sign.

It mean "Get Organized".

According to the National Association of Professional Organizers January is Get Organized month.

I tell myself, I'm organized in "my own way".  Perhaps I am, perhaps I am not.  According to NAPO I am NOT ORGANIZED in any way, shape or form.

Will this be the month I get organized.  Probably not, afterall there are only 3 days left, if only I had know January was GO Month on January 1st.  

I found this online quiz to test your "organizational quotient."  If you are brave enough to see how organized you are.    

A few questions are...

Is every flat place on a your desk a place for a pile?

Do you spend far too much time looking for a paper you knew you put "right there?"

Are you bills, letters from friends, junk mail all in the same pile?

Do you have lots of clothes in your closet and nothing to wear?  (ALL women may relate to that)

 

What do you think.... is January "GO-Month" in your house, office, car? organized desk

I'm going to have to wait until NEXT January when GO-Month comes around again to get organized.  (I'm a futurist - but that's another topic)

You may want to make Feb. your GO month this year and then make note to have Jan 2012 be your GO month next year. It is a good time to get organized at the beginning of Jan. because you start to get those important Tax docs over the next few months. Way to add in a comment about the new zodiac sign thing.

Patrick you are far to practical.  Don't you think February will be some 'other' month.

Cindy  - I just took a picture of all the desks in the office.... I guess you work here too.

Ah, I thought I had cured my procrastination. However, looking at my desk tonight I see that I have been backsliding.

Vickie - I never consider it procrastination   I prefer futurist -- always leaving something to do in the future.
