HELP!

I am looking for your best advice on organizing a home office...or just organzing in general!

I have so much going on!

MOMS Club: PR Coordinator: Update Middleboro Gazette, design and print business cards, design and print congratulations on your new baby cards to mail to new mothers in the area, update local access channel information.

PTA: Cultural Enrichment Chair: Obtain and verify funding of program, obtain approval from PTA executive board, obtain approval from principals of schools involved, schedule the performance dates, reserve the performance space, request copy of contract and teacher packet from artist, request deposit amount from PTA treasurer, work with the principals to arrange times and grades for each scheduled time slot, mail signed contract and deposit, directions to school and appropriate school and schedule, copy and hand out teacher's packet, write a brief memo to teachers regarding performance,submit information to the Middleboro Gazette, collect all checks payable to the artist, hang posters, phone the artist 5 days before to confirm, meet and greet artist at school, pass out review forms, pay artist at conclusion of performance, get receipt, collect all review forms.

PTA: Mardi Gras Food Committee Chair: write letters to local stores/vendors requesting donations, follow-up with in person meeting, secure and pick up donations, staff food table by calling volunteers, contact Director of Food Services at Middleboro Public Schools to assure freezers and refrigerators will be empty and bable to be used on day of event, pick up donations (food donations) on day of event, bring neccesary items back to local stores and vendors when done (i.e. hotdog machines, coolers etc).

Girl Scout Leadership: facilitate and plan meetings, keep track of dues and attendance, attend service unit trainings.

Lia Sophia business: keep track of customer information, schedule shows, review training materials, submit weekly reports.

(Did I mention that I have decided to try my hand at direct sales? My friend Michelle sells Lia Sophia and has been quite successful with it. I chose Lia Sophia because quite frankly, the jewelry sells it self, even to someone like me who has typically not been a big jewelry person. This really is a whole other entry but I just wanted to throw this out there in case anyone was stumped on what the Lia Sophia thing was all about).


"Regular Life" stuff: my scrapbooking supples (I have a ton), a space for Emily to do her homework (and Katherine if she gets any).

As you can see, I am not making this "I have alot going on thing" up!

This is what I have for office space/furniture:

A computer desk: 1 small cabinet, 1 small drawer, a filing drawer, and two average size drawers.

A 5 shelf metal unit which curently hold most of my scrapbooking supplies. One shelf is dedicated to Julia's sensory things (bubbles, her nuk brush, a blow toy(blow in to it and the helicopter propeller moves), her sensory boxes (one filled with oatmeal, one with rice and one with cornmeal), and her colors and shapes flashcards.

An 8 foot table that has a small 13 inch tv on it and is basically left clear for homework and scrapbooking.

A four drawer file cabinet, 3 of which are currently empty due to me going crazy cleaning the other day!

A black desk with two small shelves and one small drawer.

A five shelf wooden thing which currently holds most of my crafting supplies (paint, ribbon, instructional booklets etc).

So, what do you think?

Does anyone have a sure fire filing system that works every time?

A wonderful organizational idea that you just couldn't live without?

A fantastic idea for keeping track of your schedule that ensures you never miss an important appointment?

Any other ideas that might help me out?

Email me or leave me some love in the comments.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
