Orginization

So here I am with 5 projects in my lap all due around the same time. I'm beyond busy, and feel like I'm caught in a tornado. I'm learning to organize - but I have a hard time keeping it all up to date due to being busy. I'm curious how other people make it look so easy. Daily planners, books, calendars, and all that jazz just seem to keep me going in circles when I'm not grounded in what I'm doing. Maby it's the case of too many pieces of paper - perhaps I just need to clear my desk, write a hard copy and a computer reminder and leave it at that. Sounds simple - would help if I could find my hard copy version - it seems to have taken a train to Shanghai. Messy house, messy schedule - and too much to do. *looks around frustrated* I'm not sure whom I should apply the theoretical whip to - me, my children, my husband - or all of the above - and where exactly I get this whip from. Anyone know where you find an invisible non painful effective "whip em into shape" whip?? Perhaps Harry Potter would know, or maby my friendly house elves.

To be honest though - I'm enjoying the need to keep creating. I'm self driven now - but with a place to drive to! It makes a wonderful difference.

A toast to all those truly organized people - may I learn your wonderful talent!!
