My (Attempted) Organized Life: Closet

"Attempted" is the key word here.

I've been such a terrible blogger! I am late in posting for this series yet again! Life has been way too crazy lately. Because of that, it is reflecting in the "organization" of my room...


This week marks week 3 and the final week of My (Attempted) Organized Life series! This week I have a short vlog that briefly shows you my closet and how it is organized, even though many of my clothes weren't organized and hung up, so you couldn't see the full extent of my closet. I also decided not to add in my dresser either because even more so there you will see why I entitled this series "My Attempted Organized Life."

Here is my short vlog about it!



So there you have it, the end of My (Attempted) Organized Life Series! As you can tell by the timing of this post I am definitely emphasizing the "attempted" aspect of the series. If you have any more tips for me to get more organized, please let me know!

My (Attempted) Organized Life: Planning


Today marks week 2 of My (Attempted) Organized Life series, and this week is all about planning and scheduling!

If you know me, then you'd know that I am a big time planner. I love making lists and writing in calendars and planners. Although sometimes it still doesn't help me remember everything, I still definitely love the idea of writing things down to better remember them!

I have a few different calendars/lists that I use to keep my schedules as clearly laid out as possible.








I have a weekly dry-erase board to see things at a week's glance and see things up close and personal. I also have two monthly calendars--one that I keep on my desk and another that I have in my planner. The one on my desk is to see my plans in a cute way and separate from my planner. I have a daily portion of my planner too that divides the days by the times from 8am to 5pm. It allows me to See how much free time I have in between classes, meetings, and other things like that.

The last part of my planning and scheduling are these three notepads that I got from Target in their dollar section! I love it so much. There are three pads: to do, to buy, and to call. I use them on a day to day basis when I have a lot to do so that I can keep track of everything.

I love all of my planner-type stuff--I'm obsessed with planning! I also have a blog planner to help me plan out posts and stuff for this blog (although I am obviously not always keeping up with my schedule, like this post, whoops). It's a compilation of different blog planners that I like and I'm just trying to figure out what works best for me.

I don't have a video up for this week yet, but I will make one soon! (If not, I'll have it for next week, haha).

Until then, I'm trying to find a good planner for me to use! Although I love my current planner, I work better when my workspace is aesthetically pleasing (like my planner). I want one that is like the Erin Condren Life Planner, but much cheaper than that since I am currently on a budget!

How do you keep yourself organized when you plan out your days?

NEW SERIES: My (Attempted) Organized Life: Workspace

Happy Tuesday! I am so sorry I couldn't post yesterday when I normally do; I got stuck writing a paper so I had to focus on that, but that's okay because I am back with a NEW SERIES for you all!


For the next three weeks this February, every Monday (other than today), I will be highlighting a certain aspect of my life and how I like to keep organized! One of my goals for this year is to be more organized and be more consisted in it, and this series will kind of show you what I'm trying to do for myself. I love the idea and concept of organizing and keeping everything organized--my only problem is that I'm not always the best at maintaining my orderly attempts. I'm hoping that by talking about being more organized on my blog throughout this year, I feel like it could help me in being organized!

This week is about my desk/workspace, next week will be about my planning self, and the last week will be my closet. I will be documenting the series here on my blog and on my Youtube channel, so if you would rather watch something than read it, then you should subscribe to me and follow along with me there. I have this week's video already up!

With that being said, let's get started onto this week: my workspace!
