Step One: Getting Organized

There was a guy sitting next to me on the train today reading a book that was open to a page with the title "Step One: Getting Organized." That is always the first chapter in self-improvement books. I sometimes think that reading those books is going to make a big difference in my life. I come up with very ambitious outlines for my new found organization:

Dishes: Do every day by 8pm
Litter Box: Stand by cats as they are shitting and immediately pick it up-like organized dog owners do
Yoga Video: Do roomate's Yoga video for one hour every day
Laundry: One SMALL bag of laundry every week
Cooking: Cook new recipe every night after work. Keep a file of recipes
Lists: Write out a To Do List every day at 7:30 AM sharp. Keep lists in ONE notebook and not on random receipts
Novel: Write Novel
Play: Write Play
Business: Start Business
Business Cards: Make business cards for business
Desk: Do not use bed as desk!!!!!!!

I always feel so fabulously organized after I write these types of resolutions.
But then things start to pile up at an unbelievable rate. Especially cat shit in the litter box. How does that happen?
