About a week ago, I was talking to my dear friend and my wedding photographer, Shawna Sherrell of Shawna Sherrell Photography about some photography gear. We both watched an online photography class and she was asking about a particular product. I KNEW I had written down the name in my notes. I KNEW I had recently taken these notes. But I couldn’t find them anywhere! Unfortunately for Shawna, I couldn’t find the info, but fortunately for me, it inspired me to organize my notes.

As you know, I read ALL the time these days and I take notes as I read. I also take notes when I watch videos online and if I read a particularly good article.

I also finally nailed down my social media schedule. I reorganized my to-do list so that I would be more apt to follow this schedule! I did have to make the font size 8 though! Eeek!

I went through all of my notes and figured different categories. I think this breaks down nicely:
Binder 1 – To Dos, Reminders/Encouragement, SOPS (Standard Operating Procedures), and Stats to track
Binder 2 – Notes to Review – Marketing, Photography
Binder 3 – Notes to Review – Business, Blogs, Personal, Completed

One of the things that’s been on my to-do list for quite some time is creating a bridal emergency kit for weddings. One day! 🙂

These are my rough SOPs. Basically, notes on how I do different tasks so I don’t waste time doing them again.

I’m feeling SO organized now! I can read a book, make my notes and file it under the category. My plan is to go through periodically and do the things that I’ve made notes about and then cross it out as I go. As for the social media, I’m on schedule so far today! I missed a few posts yesterday, but that’s all good!

What about you? What have you done recently to get organized?
