If you're looking to truly get your act together and get things done, I want to recommend one of my favorite new books, Organize Now!: A Week By Week Guide To Simplify Your Space And Your Life
Here's a brief overview of this great resource:
With a unique week-by-week approach, Organize Now! gives readers simple and effective tools to organize every aspect of their lives. Jennifer Ford Berry walks the readers through each step of the organizing process for 52 different topics, dealing with each topic one week at a time. Organize Now! is not only easy-to-use but covers a wide variety of topics from paperwork, time management, mental clutter, pets and specific rooms to special events such as moving or vacation planning. The advice is proactive, straightforward and presented in checklists so that readers can see immediate results as they work. Advice for monthly and yearly maintenance is provided. Due to the structure of the book, readers can follow the book from start to finish for a full organizational makeover, or work through the book in any order they wish, targeting the problem areas for their life.
Offers practical, effective and easy-to-use instruction on organizing 52 specific problem areas and is structured so that readers can take a week-by-week approach if desired.
Printed on uncoated paper so that readers can easily mark off the checklists and write in their own notes and ideas.

Lisa, you're right! And I should use that time to get things started here so that I'm ahead of the game when it arrives.

But how can I Organize *Now! when this book is on backorder everywhere? (this is the part where my inner three year-old pouts and stomps her feet! LOL)
