I had been wanting to get a NeatDesk or NeatReceipt for our business paperwork. But...I didn't want to spend the money on it. Well... my mom had 2 NeatReceipts, so now I have one! I haven't tried it out yet, but it seems pretty cool. I have a system for our household paperwork....but if I ever get caught up, maybe I can look into that. I really need to get my butt in gear on the business paperwork. I am a little behind, and that is never good.
I know I'm kind of going off on a tangent here....but am I the only person that feels like they are constantly behind? I see these people that are super organized, with a super clean house, and perfect paperwork, and a nice financial outlook...and I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong. I've tried major overhauls. I've tried doing little goals. I've tried checklists for each day and detailed budgets. I just feel like I am always trying to catch up. And not with other people...just with how I want my life to be. (Which is kind of similar to those people with the super clean houses, perfect paperwork, and nice financial outlook.) 
Ok...I'm done. I guess I just needed to let that out. Goodnight everybody!

In addition, I personally put an emphasis on sleep and exercise and quiet time to myself. I think the tendency is to put these kind of things off "because I don't have time." But everything is easier and smoother when I am well rested and energized and my basic needs are met.
Finally, I try to establish one good habit at a time. That's just my personality - I can only focus on one thing at a time. But over time, several good habits and changes stick and layer on top of each other. All the more reason to just smart small. What bothers you the most? Start with a plan for that.
Oh, and forget everyone else. You either see what you want to see or what they want you to see. Meh. It's just not a fair comparison. (My house is mostly a disaster because I really could care less about cleaning. It's boring and it never ends and it's not my thing. I find people tend to assume I am a neat freak just because I am conscientious and generally organized. HA!).

Our 1st baby step was to introduce a 'new item in - old item out policy. It was tough the 1st two weeks but it's unanticipated benefit was reduced spending. We each knew if we bought new shoes, old shoes of similar type had to go! For DH
...just some thoughts
