An Organizing Pro...

Since starting back to school on Monday, I've been wondering...why are there more days between Monday thru Friday, and only two between Friday and Monday? I was kind of hoping that if I sat really, really still, Monday wouldn't be able to see me. It's just that those first five days after the weekend are always the hardest....

....and spring break was way too short! For all the being lazy, sleeping in, and taking naps, I did manage to get more than just my utensil drawer organized.

On Thursday, I put on a movie, went through our household files, and shredded bills from the last three years!

Here's the proof...

Needless to say, my garbage pile was awfully big this week!

Six bags later and my filing container feels super lite! Go, Me!

It also seems that the "Cleaning Out Bug" carried on over to school. No, I didn't shred anyone's schoolwork, but I did attack my metal storage cabinet like a pro!

When I open it in the morning I feel like a heavenly choir sings "Ahhhhhhhhhh....." It's so clean I can see everything without having to dig through junk!

And with the help of Pinterest, I discovered a trick that some teachers use to hang their border up in between use...

All it takes is some Command Hooks and medium binder clips.

I've moved on to my desk, and am beginning to sense that my students think they might be next.

Are you doing any Spring Cleaning of your own? Drop me a tip of something that helps you to be more organized!
