My organization week went really well. It's maybe not a very good resolution to say 'I will be organized', because I think it's impossible to always stay organized, but I did pretty well at staying organized for the week at least. I feel it's good to recognize your behavior and then create little rules for yourself.

For example, I always have a full inbox when I get out of bed in the morning and because I'm still sleepy, I sift through them without really reading them and then forget to answer them later. So to fix that, I've set myself a little rule of no-reading email (unless it looks urgent) until around lunchtime, when I'll be able to take everything in fully and reply to everyone.

I made a couple of purchases to help myself stay more organized in the future. The first is a book called The Organized Life by Stephanie Denton. From what I have read, it seems like a really good book and it has loads of useful tips. I have a bad habit of starting a book and never getting to the end, so it's my top to-do for the week. The second purchase was the second series of Perfect Housewife by Anthea Turner. There's something about seeing how terribly messy other people's homes are that makes me feel fantastic and finish tidying my own!

I shall tell you about this weeks New Me Resolution tomorrow...
