Hello!
    For my records, and anyone interested - from here at C.E.S.:
 It has become apparent that with so much going on, it's been hard to keep up with organizations in as many areas as  we would like. The organizing of much has begun already, and we will be continuing our daily efforts. All past attended events' blogs and pictures may/ will be re-organized/ moved, as will anything we have "out there" online otherwise.
RE: Pictures to blogs:
Thoughts of blogging them all in blogs, so as to not have to attain multiple online photo storage locations/ loss of pictures.
 RE: organizations we are trying our best to follow
& More Tips & Tricks.

 =
 We have attended quite a few events since the thaw, and have yet to share some of them. They will be coming soon after, before, or during the release of the new edition of our Arts & Culture Community Guide.   (080714322PMishC.E.S.)

 Until next time...
Take care & Safe travels!

Getting Organized


 Hello,
 I know that this is a topic of concern to some, because I still struggle with it myself in some areas in my life.  But I still "fight the battle" for improvement every day! Rest assured, there is always help out there, from others that have gone through the same thing(s). 

 So here's a bit of "insight" from me...
 I have always found that positive personal gain in business and in life, never comes easily. It is an upward battle that needs some essential "fundamentals". Organization is one of them.

 ~*~ My "Top 3" Reasons to get organized ~*~

 1. Once we are organized, it becomes an enabler. Things are easier to find, use, do, or all three. 
 2. When activities, ideas, etc. are written down, they become a resource. As this creates an ever-growing "record" of all. Don't forget to keep track of dates also!
   + Who/ what you emailed. And who emailed you back about what!
   + Remind yourself of things that you may have forgotten.
   + Anything said/ pre-arranged.
 3. This is now also a "reference", for now and in the future. You may need to look back to something in particular. 
 NOTE: Whether you keep this in books or as computer files, does not matter. I do recommend both in some cases. The most important "trick", is to know where which thoughts are located and where. 
 ~+~
 WAYS THAT HELP
 When using books I try to keep things organized by using a certain style, shape, size, pattern, or colour of book for specific thoughts. 
 Here are some ideas/ examples:
 Coil spine books = random thoughts notepads (usually while out & about)

 Flying creatures = personal growth that frees the soul of negatives (Freedom)
 Other specific designs = poetry and other written works (passionate articulations, of otherwise orations)
 Hard copy books with a solid print = notes for stories. (3 "sides" to every story)
 Certain colours = certain tasks, ideas, collaborations; etc... (so many possibilities)
 &/OR
  When using a computer, I try to keep things organized by which BIG project it fits into or otherwise.
 1. Organize/ manage your emails into separate folders for each thing that you are involved in/with. If they can fit in a similar group is great, but not if the group title is too broad/ vague of a category. 
 Ex. Volunteering - businesses/ committees vs. Volunteering - friends/ community members
 2. Also keep a "running entry" of everything you reply to, email about, or get responses on. Do this somewhere on your desktop/ desktop folders for easy access.

 Until next time...
 WILD WICKED WISHES!!!
