The price of disorganization

September 21st, 2006 at 04:27 am

You know, I really usually pride myself on being organized. When we received birthday gift cards and gift certificates, I put them all in my purse. Tonight DH and I snuck out for supper (amazing what an uninterrupted conversation can accomplish!)and when it was time to pay, lo and behold, no GC! Had to pay with debit card. Got home and there they were in the office "bill" sorting area. $38.00 out of pocket for a resturant I don't really like! Live and learn!

    I so agree with you, you REALLY do lose money when you are NOT Organized. Sigh Frown I had been thinking about that myself lately.

    Ditto for me too.

    How many times have I bought an item only to find we already had it stashed away in a closet or drawer somewhere!? Organization is really a continuing process. That's the tough part, incorporating a workable system for everyday life. Not just cleaning up and sorting out a few times a year.

    I hear you. Whether it comes to papers, or food, time management or organizing physical things--I know it all affects how much money I just plain waste. Maddening!
