This week's lovely list is inspired by change. It's in the air, drifting in and out of everyone's nostrils. Take a big whiff, because if you embrace it, the good of it will wrap around you like a bear hug. Personally, I have more changes approaching than ever before. With moving three times in three months, and two big adventures, I have a lot to get done. The best way to ensure I welcome these changes with an open mind and open heart is by putting some planning skills to good use.

My Bob's Your Uncle 8-Days-a-Week planner keeps me sane.

1. Complete my bucket list (with the help of my handy dandy planner).   
2. Separate clothing and accessories into two categories: summer camp and New York.
3. Buy rad stationary from Paper Sky to keep in touch while away for the summer.
4. Collect friends' addresses for snail mail. :)
5. Decide what books are going to New York, which may be one of the tougher decisions I will have to make.
6. Set aside a specific space for studying with all my books and notes. 
7. Get rid of clutter! There are so many unnecessary objects in the kitchen, the bathroom, my bedroom, and to tackle that now will make moving quicker. In turn, this will create more time to spend with people.
8. Start researching what Ikea and the Container Store have to keep everything organized throughout the moves.
9. Make reservations for graduation meals and summer flights. Both require planning ahead.
10. Mediate. Take a deep breathe. Organize the mind to stay grounded. 

As new things swirl around you like a whirlpool, I hope you can find some time to sort everything out and to gain steady footing. Here's to organizing for the sake of peace of mind!
