I also have a program I use in which I created several categories of items to remember. Internet passwords, emails, birthdays etc. Once a month I upload this file into online storage so should my computer crash or the house burn down I still can access my information. Also any photographs that are special to me I have scanned into my computer and also have stored them online. I have a box by the bed with all our most important papers in it, so if ever we had to get out quickly I only have to grab it. I don't know if I can improve on that. I can mostly lay my hands on anything but of course there has been the occasional think I have filed away in 'a safe place' never to found again.

I love it! I use iCalendar to track all my appointments and to keep running lists, iPhoto to organize and share my digital images, iChat to keep in touch with my out of state relatives, and I love the STICKIES application that allows me to create brightly colore digital sticky notes on my desktop. :) By the way, I wanted to stop by and let you know that I’ve got some free books up for grabs in my April <a href="http://overwhelmedwithjoy.blogspot.com/2008/04/april-pay-it-forward-book-exchange.html" rel="nofollow">Pay It Forward Book Exchange</a>.

Refolding laundry when people "helped", fluffing pillows while my guests were sitting on the sofa, lists for everything imaginable. It was exhausing! And then one day, after being a sick with the flu for a week, I noticed that the sky didn't fall! I realized that I could let go of a few things!

It's even a major undertaking to actually form a grocery list. Now I'm embarrassed. :) I am completely unorganized. It’s even a major undertaking to actually form a grocery list.

I used the ideas on Organized Home but did most of the stuff on the computer so it was easy to update rather than printing it out and writing it in by hand. I would lose my mind if my computer died. It has everything on it! I have a Household Notebook, too!
