and all the stuff in the hallway

The hallway after:
 

I just went down to take a picture of the hall and top of the closet because I forgot and look what the kids have already done! They like to play hide and seek in there ... but to mess it up just barely an hour after it was finished!!!

Before (I couldn't find the recipe I needed and ended up printing another one!)
 

During:
 

After - with the stack of recipes I tossed:

After - opened -- I can see all the sections with a list of the tabs I want to make up

Not on my to do list for the day but got this done also (I had to find the hole punch to organize the binders).
Last week it looked like this:

This morning (where did my piles go?)

notice the chair is closed - that is so I don't just sit down and get sidetracked (which I do all the time). FlyLady is right -- I am a SHE (Sidetracked Home Executive).
 
After - that pile on the floor is magazines to read recycle later and the one on the desk is the pile of recipes that I need to take out of my saved stuff at allrecipes or my recipe folder.

Here is my household binder (it needs lots of work still -- this was about 10 minutes ago). It won't get done tonight but it will get done tomorrow. I didn't even start -- I spent a good chunk of my day looking for the hole punch (and straightening up as I went).
 

Man ... am I ever tired. This Tackle it Tuesday really works for me, I have been off on Tuesday's since Adam has a meeting and by posting Monday night I am then held accountable to get something done on my day evening off.  I am off again tomorrow (I work Saturday) so hopefully it will be just as productive.

This is what I hope to get done tomorrow (probably no follow up post though):
Clean up and make better use of household binder
Create spot for tax stuff (so when it comes in the mail it just goes right there)
Add stuff to ipod  (if I can figure it out)
Call Costco - Memory & pdf viewing
Hook up cordless mouse
Juice lemons
