And this doesn't really count, but if it makes anyone else feel better, often times I go upstairs and find myself on the landing wondering why in the world I came up here.

I have my workouts in two places, and I sometimes search frantically for a workout in one place when it's in the other. I will hold off on working out until I find THE one, though, which is annoying as I have limited time in the AM.

I don't have as much trouble with workout dvds, but I do this with music cd's all the time. SO maddening.

I've finally learned to just put all the holiday music by the player in the living room, since that's the one time of year we actually use that stereo.

Yes! I couldn't find my beloved Coach Troy's Runervals 1.0, looked and looked, and then re-purchased it, only to find it eventually.

I have also lost several things in the process of moving. I lost at least some books, etc...no big deal though since I have so many. Don't know where the stuff goes since we always moved ourselves. One time lost my favorite pair of pajama pants (they had cats on them so I was kind of sentimental about them). Looked for them forever, but could not find them. Weird thing is one day my mom wanted to know if I wanted something she had bought on the clearance rack that she had stored for a while but forgot about, turns out it was the exact same pants! That was the weirdest thing ever.

i think it's all part of a procrastination tactic on my part. i think what i have to do is before the week starts, make a schedule, gather the videos, and force myself not to get derailed or distracted by extraneous circumstances (like not being able to find a video).

i think organizing the DVDs also helps to mentally put your mind at ease. mine are about 90% organized.

the good thing that resulted from this is i came up with a small stack of amazon trade-ins and posted some "share the wealth" items.

What really bothers me the most....I put things in a place that makes "sense", so I will remember where I put it. The problem I have is what makes sense to me one day, doesn't on another. I'll find it much later and think..What was I thinking?! It's a strange place to be inside my brain.

aahhh this place feels like true confessions...I am just like this too...I think that is why I am even more frustrated because I have made an effort to be organized...but apparently the organization part of my brain shifts around a bit tooooo much...you don't know how many times this past weekend I have looked over my DVD boxes w/the 'its got to be in here somewhere!' rant running through my brain
