I am a fairly organized person. But there are a few areas where I struggle to keep a handle on everything. And one of those areas is my workshop. Now I use the term workshop loosely – I am no handyman. But as a homeowner, I have some hand tools and power tools that are a necessity. But keeping things organized – especially all the odds and ends, is difficult for me. And because of that it cost me money on Saturday.
I was working on a project in the garage, putting up a simple shelf. And I needed a socket wrench. I have two (different sizes for different sockets). I only could find the one – the wrong size for the socket I needed to use. I looked everywhere, but couldn’t find it. I know I own it – because I have sockets to fit it! So I had to spend time and money running to the hardware store to purchase a new socket wrench. I just know I will find the old one, probably come spring!
I hate spending money when I don’t have to! Now I have the motivation that I have lacked to clean up that area (money is a good motivator!). So this spring (when it’s warmer in my garage!) I am determined to tear apart my work area and clean it up and organize it once and for all. Feel free to check up on me and keep me to it!
What area of your life could you organize and possibly save a few pennies? Join me this spring and let’s get a little more organized!
