I have been self-employed and working from home for almost 10 years now. As I approach this exciting anniversary... I am realizing how much I have learned about myself as a person over the last decade - and what I would like to change/improve for the decade ahead.
I have always considered myself insanely unorganized - or better, I like to call it "organized chaos" (laugh). It really blows my mind to think that I have lived like this for TEN YEARS without finding a real solution...
I'm making changes :D . I had a major breakthrough recently, which I have been posting about in detail on my blog:

Basically, I have identified my "problem areas", and come up with a plan to dramatically increase my productivity. And instead of diving headlong into an overwhelming make-over process - I am taking a very quick, simple and inexpensive route.
My main issues have been "stuff", being an "out of sight, out of mind" type of person, and finding an efficient way to have everything at hand and stay on task.
With all of us having various personalities and habits, I thought it might be fun to explore "problem areas" and possible solutions. What seems to snag you up the most - or what would you most like to change about your work space or your work habits?
