Peony’s Friday Five
1. Would you consider yourself an organized person? Why or why not? I guess I would call myself organized, but there is much room for improvement. I succumb to entropy too easily.
2. Do you keep some type of planner, organizer, calendar, etc. with you, and do you use it regularly? I keep a wall calendar in my kitchen. I also have a small calendar in my purse but I don’t keep up with that as much as I should. I wish I could find the perfect combination of systems: big enough to do a lot of planning, small enough to carry with me, and annotated with liturgical feasts, solemnities, saint’s days, purple fish, the words FIRST FRIDAY in big red letters, etc
3. Would you say that your desk is organized right now? In the sense that I know pretty much which pile of paper contains what.
4. Do you alphabetize CDs, books, and DVDs, or does it not matter? I organize books by topic: fiction, history, home economics, spirituality, Chesterbelloc, etc. When I was single I kept my CDs organized by musical genre (baroque, classical, pop…) but I haven’t been able to keep this up since I’ve been married. I also don’t play CDs as often as I used to; I miss that. I would like to go to IKEA and get some of those little drawers to keep the CDs sorted. I don’t have any sort of organization for our VCR tapes right now.
5. What’s the hardest thing you’ve ever had to organize? My kitchen — there is simply not enough useable space.
