I agree with this article. Sometimes it doesn't matter if you have the right tools, if you don't know how to use them correctly and efficiently. I know that I have a great calender and an excellent file storage system, however I still find myself having to dig through piles of papers in order to find the right one. The calender works just fine, but I can't seem to keep my papers in their folders. Despite these great organizational tools, I am still somewhat of a mess. Something I'm working on, haha....

Maybe it would work better if you had a c-a-l-e-n-d-A-r.

So I love organizing. Every year I go out and buy everything I possibly can to get organized...and then, somewhere down the line, usually mid year, I slip for a week, and my entire life gets messy. So at some point, usually late at night, I go out and buy more binders and dividers and post-its and color pens. What I should learn is how to not fall apart after New Years, so I can save my Christmas money for shoes, instead of office supplies.
