Ideas Organized

I sometimes have up to a hundred thoughts going through my mind at any given moment.  I'm serious! 

Take for instance, I can literally have ideas in my head about my daughter's room and how I want to redecorate, then my mind instantly switched gear to my other daughter's room and how much organization she needs done.  It's like one task turns into the next and so on.  It's never ending for me, so many thoughts running through my mind all the time and to top it off sometimes my ideas don't really go any further than my head!  Scary I know, try sleeping with all these thoughts running through your mind. 
It's even worse when I take off to Target to "look around" and I forget what I was originally there to look at because I get so distracted with ideas.

I guess you could call my little problem Decorating Deficit Disorder...often shifting from one uncompleted task to another or the inability to sustain attention on tasks.  This pretty much sums it up, but I'm trying to do better.  

So I had another thought on how to help myself, get organized and have a place to store all million of  my ideas, thoughts, inspiration, and goals...

Check out Melissa's organizational tool/ binder full of ideas and inspirations that she
keeps with her all the time.

She even keeps the paint codes for future reference, brilliant I'm telling ya.

Lori stores all of her favorite magazine tear out pages in plastic sleeves, she stays
organized and  has a ton of references to look through.  Love it!


Who can live without one or a couple of these babies, you know what I am 
talking about.  Yvonne has several she keeps on hand and when she pulls one
out or brings another fan deck home from the paint store it scares her husband.  
I can just hear my hubby saying to me "what are you doing now" Oh nothing, hehe!

For now I am gathering my stuff and it's scattered throughout the house to create my own personal design book/journal.  I'll share it with when I'm done.  In the meantime, have a great weekend and Memorial Day!

  2. You just described me to a T! My husband asked me last week what I do when I am stuck in traffic for an hour plus. I said "I think". Seriously, I get myself into so much trouble with all the thoughts I have! I am working on a similar binder next. Have the binder just need to put it together. I think it's a great idea to have one.
