You will often hear me talk about becoming and staying organized.  Organization is not a one shot deal.  We cannot organize one time and expect everything to just stay put!   However, when a good organization system is set up is ought to be easily maintained.

     I implemented a new filing system in my office a while back.  I set up a tickler file system by month and days to help keep paper cleared from the top of my desk.  (My personal and business files are in drawers.)  Somehow, I kept finding papers on my desk that had no home.  Guess what?  That system is good for some folks but it didn't work for me.  I have changed all my files now and set up my desk top tickler files labeled with the categories I need.  Now I can easily drop items in the files and know I can find them when I need them!

    The message here is that even when we organize, sometimes we need to change or tweak something we did.  That's ok!  Pay attention to what is and isn't working for you.  Move things around if needed.  Make new homes for items that don't have one, or that are in a place that isn't working out.  Maintain your space and maintain your peace and productivity.  It's worth the time investment to get it right for your needs.  I know!  Change is good!
