Chaos is defined as complete disorder and confusion
Does the following definition of Chaos sound familiar you?
Can’t or Children
Have Have
Anyone A lot
Over Of
Syndrome Stuff
How about:
Can’t get it all don’t in a day
Help I am overwhelmed
Another Appointment missed
Opportunity for a promotion past because I was late
Slipped on crap on the floor.
Disorganization doesn’t just involve clutter taking over your house. It takes away your energy. The more you have going on the more organization you need. If you kids are in soccer and dance, have t-ball and have play-dates you have to stay on top of your schedule. You feel bad because you forgot or got the dates mixed up when it was your turn to pick up cookies for home room or to bring drinks to the t-ball game. Or worse your kid is left waiting for you to pick them up.
Scheduling mix-ups create chaos and then you scramble or miss out on an important thing. You are sad, your family is sad.
So let’s put on a happy face. Gain control of your chaos. Now is a great time to get organized. You will stop wasting time and energy. You can enjoy life when you’ve made it a priority to keep chaos and clutter at bay.
- Use your phone as a calendar – It’s with you all the time. Make use of the apps and keep lists. I add everything to my phone.
- Use the alerts and set reminders. Appointments get 2 reminders.
- Use a family organizational calendar, color code it. Hang it in a central location so all members of your family can see it.
Take control of your chaos. Tell me what you do to keep your family and household organized.
Thanks Pamela

I don’t have children, but I do have a husband (which is close enough in terms of organization sake) three cats and two dogs. Yeah…trying to get things organized while keeping up with the “kennel,” is like a pipe dream, lol. But I’m warming up to the idea of using my phone as a calendar. I always have it nearby, so why not? Good idea, and thank you for the insight!
