Speaking of Organizing

[AmyKidsCo]

The thread asking about organization got me thinking... So many times and places I've heard providers say that their weakness is organization, so I'm thinking about putting together a workshop on organization.

If you were going to a workshop on organization, what kind of things would you want to learn? Time management? Materials and supplies? Paperwork and forms? All of the above?

What are your challenges to being organized? No time? No system? No desire?

[AuntTami]

No room! I've run out of space to stash everything.

Id love to learn about actual organization! Where should I put the light table so it gets used as a light table instead of as a side table? What should I do with all my random craft supplies? What craft supplies SHOULD I be buying?

Organizing where it's easily accessible vs organizing for storage (if that makes sense). When it's time to declutter.

Checklists (daily, weekly, monthly) how to set them up for your indl needs or even ones pre-made

Paperwork

Organizing in small spaces

[Josiegirl]

Paperwork! Ugh, I can never find what I need. I'm a stasher of things and tend to put it out of the way on my way to something else. If I had it all organized I'd know right where everything was.

How do you keep things organized for different age groups?

If we do themes, what's the best way to store ideas, material lists and crafts, etc.

I need easy, efficient and consistency in my life to keep up with organization. What kinds of organizers(bins, tubs, shoeboxes, etc.) work best for what type of toys and equipment? Maybe different ideas for those.
