Some of you know that I’m addicted to organizing.  I love order, neatness, colorful systems, typed labels, practical spatial-based systems, and so on.

My one bugbear is paper. I am terrible at organizing and tracking papers.  Probably because they tend to be black and white.

I’ve tried to track stuff by computer, but it never works for me (unless sometimes if I color-code things).  So I decided to try paper again this year.  Last week I bought a fancy new organizer.  It’s lovely!  It has colorful pages, plenty of systems to help me write and track things, lots of fidgety bits and so on.

There’s only one problem.  Same problem I have with fancy blank books.  It’s so pretty that I don’t want to write in it.
