I am going to try something radical. I’m going to add some mini-goals to my overall 12 rez.
Here’s the idea: I am addicted to organization magazines (the latest is Fresh Home), catalogs (IKEA), and websites (Apartment Therapy), but I have trouble putting the ideas into use, so I just pour over the magazines again and again living in my perfectly organized, color-coded fantasy world. My actual world has piles of, well, organization magazines and kids’ toys, bills, books, you name it. What if, I thought to myself as I flipped through the latest issue of Better Homes and Gardens, I pledge to organize one thing per month, (It might be an area of the house. It might be a bookshelf, closet or desk top.) and I promise to post one Felix Unger update per month? This might prove to be more before/after photo shoots than actual blogging, but it also might hold me accountable to the task.
I’m taking suggestions for what this monthly feature will be titled. I’m considering “Spacing Out,” but I’m not married to it.
