31 Days Blog to Biz / day 16 - organize your workspace



Ugh... must do something. FAST.

(shuffle throw dump scoop sweep cough)


 Dog - "...um... not yet."

Me -

sweep sweep sweep sweep
sweep sweep sweep sweep
sweep sweep sweep sweep


"Ok Jenna, come!"


Step one - dog approved / check!

Next... getting it me approved.

"...um... not yet."




This was not a garage sale. This was just reclaiming my workspace once again.

When projects are worked on throughout the week, I basically fly by the seat of my pants. I'm fast and reckless due to little time. And the path of destruction left in my quake gets me in BIG trouble.

So today was gutting day.

(below is a video: subscribers may have to visit the blog to view)




The above video was part of a past workshop series, "Creating your own Workshop." 
Need help getting organized?  HERE you go!

Go organize your workspace. You know you want to have to.

    I am tackling my garage/workspace/whatever and well I am completley afraid...and procrastinating. I will post photos...but only if I can control it. I am happy to hear other peopel leave a path of destruciton as they complete projects.

    mY GARAGE needs some loving too. But what I found really funny is the empty water bottle on your bike. I am notorious for leaving empty bottles around! ooops

    That is exactly what I did early yesterday- worked in my garage and cleaned and organized. Sadly, there is still more to do! xo Diana

    Oh my gosh I think my garage is even worse... I have started trying to purge stuff out of it, but a lot of it is my husbands & I can't just throw that stuff out. We need some major shelving in ours because water leakes in from under the walls when it rains, so anything on the floor gets ruined. Ewwww... it needs much work if I want to be able to do stuff in it during the freezing winter :(

    I've been dreading doing this, however, if I don't, when the snow flies - I will have no place to "work/create" My workspace was taken over by 2 small estate "buy outs" that I did - I really can't even walk in there! I've been selling at flea markets all Summer, but still have too much stuff in my way! Blessings from Wisconsin!

    Hi, I was searching for some industrial furniture to post in my little blog and I discovered on pinterest a picture of a lovely rack to hang jewelry. I've found out it's yours. I've read that you don't mind if linked back to the original source, and you would like to see it by letting you know. Hope you don't mind I borrow it.

    Get out of my head, Donna. lol This is always an uphill battle for me. I'm fast and wreckless too. It's seems when I get things almost organized, the projects pile on again. I need to get back at it. Thanks for the push.
