Tackle It Tuesday

This is my first time posting along with other blogs memes. I am going to tackle several memes a week and see how it goes. I hope to actually stick with my chores if I am writing about them.

Today’s first project is paperwork. You know, kids paperwork (papers and artwork), mail, notes, magazine and newspaper clippings… all those things that are too important to throw out but perhaps not important enough to file away with the *really* important papers.

Actually, we have had a paperwork nightmare around the house since we did the taxes. I have just been playing the out of sight out of mind game with all of it and stuffing things here and there. There are boxes and baskets on shelves, under end tables, just all over.

The deal is that since we have Court this week (long story) I have to get serious about getting the paperwork straightened up to insure I have all the documents I need for Thursday. I don’t think I will get it completely done tonight and I am not going to set that hard and fast a goal for myself, but I do plan on sorting it while I got through it looking for the documents I need and doing a serious purge of anything I just don’t have to have.

For all of those newspaper and magazine clippings I am going to start sticking them in binders. I have a few pretty (and a few not so pretty) binders that I can start using for organizing tips, decorating ideas, craft instructions, and recipes in.

My second project of the day is to complete several applications for part-time blog writers. There are several sites hiring writers and their topics are right up my alley. If I can get a paying writing gig it would help supplement my income to pay down debt and put cash into savings. I suppose that qualifies as paperwork as well, just without the physical paper . Wish me luck.

What are you planning on taking on today?
