I actually spent hours thinking about how I work best - and made a checklist of what really must be on my desk.

Tiffany has some great organizational advice. Many of us are long-time members: meaning that we haven't managed to get everything completely organized yet. It is an on-going battle for most of us. I don't have a blog, so I can't enter WOYWW, but I love to visit every Wednesday, although I may not leave comments at all sites. Sorry about your knee. I know what it is like to hobble around.Debbie in LAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08832887404546403917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5765964504199008697.post-53079718268754870082016-01-19T04:25:38.070-06:002016-01-19T04:25:38.070-06:00Thanks so much for stopping by earlier in the week...Thanks so much for stopping by earlier in the week.

I so get where you are coming from about the organisation - thank you for your visit and your nice comment - you can see how well I'm getting on with mine lol!! You are right, and especially with conditions like ME and FM, the only way is small steps, to get things done. Trying to do everything all at once is too overwhelming and just leaves us exhausted and demoralised. I often break jobs down into small chunks and am amazed at how much more I can achieve that way. My ME has pretty well plateaued out these days and I just live with it - it doesn't seem to be getting any worse, but neither is it improving either. It all got rather overshadowed by the cancer last year. I just hop in my wheelchair when out and about and hardly think about it these days!! I got the cancer all clear after the chemo finished in October and I had my CT scan. I'm still suffering some after-effects from the chemo which may be permanent but only time will tell.<br /><br />Happpy belated WOYWW,<br />Shoshi #20Shoshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00028185699225457125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5765964504199008697.post-54138385977153108982016-01-14T15:31:49.382-06:002016-01-14T15:31:49.382-06:00Beautiful birthday card.

I've always had Copics, while they are more expensive they are refillable and for me, they are my favs. I bought the SN pens to see if I could get on with them but found them not to be as good as Copics and I didn't get the results I get with Copics. So I sold SN pens and have carried on increasing my Copic collection!
