I was lucky enough to be on a call with Peter Walsh and also be able to get my hands on his new In Place System. Basically, with his system, the mess you call your workspace gets organized — everything has it’s own place.  Now, for as much as I look like I have it together, I really don’t.  Bill’s biggest pet peeve is that I have loose paper everywhere.  I mean practically in every room.  Then I would always wonder why I couldn’t find anything. The worst thing is that I have folders set up to keep track of stuff.  However, they were in my bedroom, so I was lazy.  It was easier not to put them away.

However, I have been using the In Place System, and life is so much more organized now.  Bill is happier.  I am happier.  Here’s what my files look like:

I am organized.  I keep it on the end table next to me, so I have no excuse to not file anything.  It seriously has been working.  The file I have sticking up in the back — that is for all my miscellaneous things.  You know, things like coupons, paperwork, etc.  That is what was sitting all over the place.  I now still get to keep what I think is important, and I’m not driving my husband crazy anymore.

What I am showing you so far is only part of the Peter Walsh In Place System.  Every single person in this house gives it two thumbs up.  It was definitely needed in this house!
