I think I've hit OCD rock-bottom
I'm currently making a Visio diagram of my yard so I can plan my spring garden along with an Excel spreadsheet cross referencing the sun exposures, what plantings would do best, what draws birds and beneficial insects, and where I can get them all.
Is there some kind of support group for this?

Re: I think I've hit OCD rock-bottom
Before I went to Disney World, I made up an excel spreadsheet of which park we were doing each day, where we had dinner reservations, and which parks had extra magic hours. It was color coded and beautiful. I hear you loud and clear!

Is that you, DH? He did the exact same thing when we went there.

LOL...and my DH thinks I'm crazy! I guess it takes one super-organized planner in every relationship!

Re: I think I've hit OCD rock-bottom
I can relate. Last year I won a trip for work and was able to bring a guest. Before we left, I made an excel spreadsheet of what DH was to wear every day- for the day activities and then for the night activities. He wound up telling everyone I work with and I think they all thought I was nuts!
Personally, I think a little OCD is ok as long as you can laugh at yourself!!!!

Re: I think I've hit OCD rock-bottom
you definitely outdid me - but I do have a spreadsheet for my garden. Just where and what I will plant from year to year; what plants work well together etc - no birds, etc ;)

Re: I think I've hit OCD rock-bottom
I am sooo glad I'm not alone!! We did the same for the last big trip we took - made reservations beforehand, planned outfits and all that!
I've never gone so far to do color coding though. Freak. 
That's actually a REALLY good idea for my efforts though!! I could color-code them by sun exposure.
I'm working on the initial diagram on how it is right now and then plan on printing the proposed plans on vellum so I can overlay them. 
I get such a kick out of planning though, so I don't really consider it OCD. It's FUN!!

Re: I think I've hit OCD rock-bottom
Is that OCD? I actually think this is so clever to do that.
I want to redo the backyard and thought this is the "only" way to do it to know what you are doing.

All I know is that I would love to have a few of you come here and straighten my disorganized butt out. I wish someone with OCD would come tell me what to do. ANyone for hire?

Re: I think I've hit OCD rock-bottom
I never thought I was OCD but one of my bosses called me that the other day. I immediately dismissed the comment. But enjoy using it for fun now.
Elizabeth, there really are professional organizers! I didn't believe it but I heard about them through work.
It's usually people who won't keep up with my hard work to get them organized or their gardens tended that ask for my help. So I usually turn them down.

No just LIF chat boards.
You are not OCD, just organized!

I like that, you need to be organized at Disney World in order to pack it all in!

Re: I think I've hit OCD rock-bottom
I can't wait for spring to get here tricia so you can get started!!! I'm so looking forward to seeing your progress!
I'm not quite as organized, I just use a sketch of my garden to decide where things are going.
