Organization: Impossible

Spring Cleaning has turned into Early Summer cleaning. I'm typically late to the game like that.

I've purchased a number of organizational tubs, drawers and labeling materials. The problem with organizing a garage, office or kitchen is that one can get overwhelmed with the amount of crap that's stored within its confines. Case in point: My garage has enough tools, fasteners, wires and other doo-dads to assemble just about any contraption that you can dream of. Trying to organize all those little parts and tools into logical groupings seems as futile as teaching a fish to walk. Does the sand paper go with the sander or in the "abrasives" drawer. Should the nuts go with the bolts or in separate containers? Going mad: I am.

The good news here is that things are getting thrown out, recycled and sold in rapid succession. Now I just need to find a new home for this giant color laser printer that needs work. Free Geek anyone?

As I delve deeper into this pit of disorganization and despair, I realize that I'm not alone in this world. There are plenty of other men who slacked off when they were single and didn't organize anything, and now that we have women living with us, organization isn't merely an option - it's a requirement. Face it, women and men have lots of things. Your "organization" system from your bachelor days (which didn't really work, did it?) no longer passes the acid test. You can't expect your girl to find something by having you show her where it is everytime (which really equates to you having to find it).

Off to breakfast...

Org-ingly,
