Get Organized With a Notepad

This post is directed to all those people who just can’t get it together.  Those people who prefer an unruly type of life, a life that accepts disorder and carelessness as priorities.  You frumpy, shabby and impetuous scoundrel, I know your pain.  Your battle is a battle between chaos and harmony.  Your sloppy desk and messy closet are constant reminders of who you don’t want to be – a lost soul stuck in disorganization, eating cold slices of pizza from off the floor.  Cheer up! There is still hope for you.

It is now time.  You are ready to cross over and see the world as the well-oiled machine it is.  You must change your behavior, quit cold turkey, abandon ship, and put another nail in the coffin.  Add just about every other cliche you can think of known to inspire a sudden halt to your topsy-turvy existence and now it’s a party.  Stop using your furniture as a clothes hanger.  Stop treating your desk as a junk drawer and please stop using your car as a storage locker.

Your personalized notepad is not just a bunch of paper glued together.  It is a tool, a functional doodad that can change your life.  Jot down your goals and career endeavors.  Keep track of your responsibilities.  Conquer any obstacle and let go of your burdens.  Affirm your priorities.  Reach the destiny you are meant for.  It all starts with just one page of your personalized notepad.  Ask yourself this question: How will I improve my life today?

      Personalized notepads definitely are the only way I can stay organized. I have a bunch of them that I keep in various places, because I am always writing myself little reminders here and there about things. Whether it’s a To Do list, a shopping list, or a quick reminder to call somebody back or whatever, personalized notepads keep me as organized as I’ll ever be.

      I still throw clothes on the back of my chair every now and then, though. I can only take so much organization. :-P

      Not everybody likes to stay neatly organized, and not everybody who is a little messy sees it as a problem. Still, writing things down on your personalized notepad can help keep the important things organized, keep you from forgetting important engagements or things you need to buy. That way, the clutter and disorder you surround yourself with will be by your own choice, rather than anything you forgot to deal with.

      Personalized notepads are a great way to stay organized. Whether it’s making a list of chores that you need to do, or coordinating with housemates to make sure everything gets done when it needs to be, the personalized notepad is an important part of the process. Fridge mate notepads are the best, I think, because the refrigerator is a central location in most homes that everybody will pass by, so leaving a note there makes sure that it gets seen by everyone who needs to know or be reminded of something.

      I have some friends who are participating in NaNoWriMo this month – that is, National Novel Writing Month. It’s an event participants, which include both established authors and many hopefuls, try to write a novel in one month by setting a target amount of writing to get done each day in November.

      In order to do what I can to help, I bought each of them a personalized notepad to carry with them wherever they go. You never know then inspiration will strike, so you need to be able to write down your good ideas before you forget them. I bought a Dune 7 Tablet Set and gave some of the notepads to each of my friends that are participating in the event. I kept the leftovers for myself of course, because I can always use another personalized notepad.
