New Year's Resolution- Organization!!

Today I am linking up with Hope of Second Grade Shenanigans to set some goals on....organization!

 

 

I love digital files.

 

There are so many fabulous resources that I have collected throughout the years {I am a blogging and Teacher Pay Teachers addict!} and they have been saved on flash drives, hard drives, Dropbox, GoogleDocs and my computer. When I go to search for something, I search in several different places and sometime can't find the resource that I know I have!

 

So, it's time to organize.

 

This will be a huge endeavor but here's the plan:

 

Everything will be stored on my hard drive and because I am always worried that I will lose my files, Dropbox will be my back up.

 

All flash drives will be moved to my hard drive and wiped {yikes!}

 

I will rename files with a name that I can actually find.

 

Is it bad that this already gives me a little anxiety?!?

 

 

 I love to take photos.

 

Digital is great! I have thousands and thousands of pictures and just like my digital files, are saved in several different places. So I have started to download all my pictures to Shutterfly. I love that there is unlimited space{which I am sure I need} but I can access them from anywhere. It also helps that I can download my gazillion of pictures from my iPhone onto my Shutterfly using the app! Even those pesky photo stream pictures! Woohoo!

 

My goal here is to have pictured developed each month and begin to scrapbook all those beautiful digital pictures. Ok, well maybe not scrapbook. I'm too much of a perfectionist and I tend to fixate on the littlest thing...but I will definitely get them in an album!!

 

 

I love my grade book...seriously, don't laugh!

 

I have already started organizing this little beauty. The trouble here was that I needed to find a way to get my RtI paperwork in an accessible place where I can update it often. So I moved that documentation to my grade book and that worked like a charm.

 

I am a post-it note queen! Anyone that knows me would tell you I keep the company in business and they are all over the place to remind me of a million things. So, the week before school got out I started to collect my notes and work through them each day. I even have a little page to stick them on if it's a note that I need for a bit....and it's in my grade book! Yes!

 

 

I can think of a ton of other things that need to be organized. But I am going to start small and go from there! My closets at school should have made this list....haha!
