Getting Organized--It's Never Too Late

So, many people are all about getting organized at the beginning of January as a New Year's Resolution.  However, apparently I was a little slow this year. But, with the beginning of March I am ready to undertake some important goals that I have been dancing around for the last two months.

One of the problems is that I am great at making lists; however, as soon as the list is completed I promptly lose it, forget about, or never refer to it again.  When I found this perfect organization chart, I had to make it for myself.

The crafty genius, Rachel, at Cornflower Blue Studio was skillful enough to use a ruler and a sharpie to create her Goal List.  I have a secret confession though: since I was in grade school I have had a problem with rulers.  It started in 4th grade with Sister Amy, a stern and intimidating tiny woman.  She insisted that we have clear plastic rulers.  The only problem was that they broke easily.  So, I was forever breaking the rulers and having to beg my mom to replace them so as not to infuriate Sister Amy.  Since then rulers have never been my friend.

As a result, I bypassed the ruler work and used Paint Shop Pro to make perfectly symmetrical boxes and add a few birds too.  I think I am addicted to birds since the Portlandia skit "Put a Bird on It".  So here is the finished product and a link to download your own Goal List. It is formatted as a 11x17 document and I sent it to Office Max to be printed and laminated and it was very reasonable.
