17 St. Patrick's Day

St. Patrick was responsible for bringing Christianity to Ireland in the 400s A.D. He used a 3-leafed clover, or Shamrock, to explain the trinity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Green is the color of Ireland, Spring, and the shamrock, which is why it is worn today. Everyone is Irish on March 17th!

20 First Day of Spring

Day and night are of equal length at this, the Vernal Equinox. Ancient Saxon legend said that the goddess, Eostre, who symbolized new life and fertility, was saved by a bird whose wings had become frozen by winter, which turned the bird into a hare: a long-eared rabbit that could also lay eggs! So now you know.

Sure, there's a day for everything, or so it seems. But getting your home workspace organized is really something worth investing time in. Trying to get things done in a chaotic or uncomfortable environment is self-defeating and depressing. Take the time to make your home office a place you enjoy being.

First, think about the physical layout. Is everything you need within reach? Do you have sufficient work surface and file space? How about ergonomics? There are very specific ways (readily available online or through QCS) to lay out your chair, monitor, and keyboard to ensure you are working in a healthy way.

Next, consider your storage and filing needs. Things you use frequently should be within arm's reach. Items that are active but not constantly in use can be a bit farther away from you. And items that are rarely used should be in an archived filing system. First decide what you are going to keep and what will be tossed, and only then head out to look for organizational or filing systems at the local store. You have to know what you're dealing with before you can figure out how best to file it! And remember, make sure your filing system makes sense to YOU. There's no right way to file.

Most importantly, don't quit. Getting 90% of the way done leaves 10% of your office in chaos. That chaos will quickly take over and undo all your hard work. Stay motivated: try taking before and after pictures so you can see how far you've come!
