Get Organized Part 1 ~ Basket Love

Being organized makes life sooo much easier - but *staying* organized can be a challenge. ;-)  Over time I've figured out my favorite ways of getting things done, and the easiest ways to keep them that way so I thought I'd share my favorite tips.


My absolute favorite way to organize is..... baskets!  It's such a simple idea, but it really works.  Baskets hide the little things that I don't want cluttering up my desk and they make everything look pretty - bonus!  I have several different baskets for different things, but this one holds all of my "extra" gear that doesn't have a proper home.


Here is all that I see from the outside.... no one would know that it's full of odds and ends!

This particular basket holds all of my extra business cards, card reader, extra memory cards (I only need a few in my camera bag), external hard drives, camera instruction manuals, battery chargers, extra batteries (in the orange lensbaby box), lens/camera caps, flash instruction manuals, extra speedlite, and alllll the cords that came with my cameras that I *never* use - but might need one day.  Everything is right at arms length, and easy find - definitely a step up from living in an old camera bag or hiding in a drawer!

Get Organized - April Goals

It's so hard to believe that it is already April!  It seems like it was just snowing and the farm was covered in white.... oh wait, it DID snow last week - for 2 days straight!  All I can say is that TN weather is CrAzY!  <3 it!  Time for this months Goals post!

 

I've said it before, but I am an organizational freak - I make lists for my lists - if I don't, I won't get much done during the day.  I've been making lists since I could write.  My poor little sis would practically run and hide when I would bring out a notebook and a pen - I would start new "clubs" with just the two of us every month JUST so I could make new to-do lists and fill out "paperwork".  It was all good practice because at least now my lists are productive :)

 

This month I'm going to be starting a new series on how I keep myself and my business organized - mainly my desk and other workflow related things.  Feel free to leave comments on how YOU keep yourself organized and any hints you might have!  I'd LOVE to hear about them!  Keep an eye out for the first post this week!

 

April Goals:

Looking Forward To:

  • Shooting Reiley and Ryan's Engagement Session!

  • All For the Hall Concert in Nashville
