I think my instinctive reaction to even the slightest increase in my normal workload is to take a deep breath and say ‘Ok, how do I organize this?’

While it sounds very productive, let me tell you that I end spending way too much time wondering how to neatly schedule things instead of tackling them head on, as I ought to be doing. Whatever the case, this probably explains my attraction to *paper* (gasp) organizers.

My mother will tell you that I own more organizers and blank notebooks than I could possibly need for the next 200 lifetimes. My father will point to the ‘calender’ option on his iPad. But none of this kills my dream of being able to own a Kate Spade organizer (in picture) one day.

It’s so gorgeous, isn’t it? Sigh.
