2009 & organization

It’s become a running joke in my house that I’m losing my mind. I can’t remember where I put things. I’m forever leaving things behind. Once? I even drove off with a large stack of mail on the roof of my car. I’ve been using the momAgenda. My friend Sonja and I have been emailing back and forth, for what I’m sure is the better part of a year now, discussing the pros and the cons of it. I think that in the end, we’ve both decided that we like it. In fact, I like it very much. But it’s large. Too large to throw into a bag and tote around with me. So, it stays on my desk. But I really, really needed something smaller that would organize me: my schedule, my girls’ schedules, my husband’s schedule. All those little cards you need to have in order to buy anything at a reasonable price: groceries. Pet food. Electronics.

I’m going to be using the whoMi Leather Hidden Agenda. It’s faux snakeskin. It looks good. It’s the right size for my bag: just barely larger than a wallet that holds a checkbook. It has several slots for cards, cash, etc. And the planner. It tracks my schedule, along with three others. And if you don’t have three others, you can track exercise, meal planning. Whatever.

My only concern is the small space in which to record our schedules. But in conjunction with my Momagenda, which will remain on my desktop at home, the whoMi can work for me, despite it’s tiny writing space. So, I’m planning on keeping it brief. Just enough information to get me where I need to be. When I need to be there.

My 2009 New Year’s resolution, I guess. We’ll see how it goes…

    I definitely need some organization in my bag. I have cards everywhere and I can never find one when I’m on line at the grocery store. Speaking of groceries, what’s your take on wholesale clubs like BJ’s, Sam’s club, Costco? Are you a member of any?

    Ohh, that’s a good idea…a mini-planner to take along. I’ll have to try it, but hope I don’t replicate myself. thanks!
