Paper clutter. Right now it's driving me batty. You should see the state of my craft table. No, scratch that. If you see the state of my craft table you will realize exactly how unorganized and crazy my life is right now. And I don't have the time or energy to clean it all up the "right way" so there it all sits. And gets worse.
I had a little "a-ha" moment the other day. I had pulled out my recipe binder to search for something and as I was paging through the giant stack of recipes we had shoved in there since I set up the binder
(You can find my original blog post about organizing my recipe binder here) for the THIRD time without finding what I was looking for...well, I realized something. I may not have the time to sit down and type up, format, print, then stick in page protectors all the recipes I want to add to the binder. But that doesn't mean that they can't join their friends in their categories and make themselves a little easier to find, right? So right then and there I spread out all the random paper on the counter, sorted it into piles (including some meant for the garbage can - a key to all organization projects, true?), punched holes in one side, and stuck them in the binder. Took me all of 5 minutes.
