Too Much Organization!

I was reading this article today (Got clutter?: Organizing - How much is too much? - Rochester, MA - Wicked Local Rochester) and it occurred to me that there could be too much organization. There is a such thing as Paralysis by Analysis. This just doesn't apply to reading. Trying to be super organized to the point of not doing anything at all till you get it correct is not much help either.

My advice to you when you decide to get started organizing is to start with basics. Don't over think what bins you will need. Just take it one drawer at a time. One space at a time.

You need to organize how you think and live. Not how a book tells you or how someone else does it. Organize your home to your personal taste. That way you will be more likely to keep it up.

How To Organize Your Lipsticks

I ran across this video on Youtube that I thought was very clever for organizing your lipsticks. One thing I would add to this idea is that you can use a label maker to make little labels that lists the name of each lipstick color so you will know when it is time to go get some more or if someone asks what kind of lipstick you have on. I have a lot of lipsticks now and I am visual so this is a great idea that I can't wait to use. Check it out.

How To Hire A Professional Organizer

Have you ever wondered how to hire a professional organizer or what steps to take or how to prepare. This video shows you a great step by step approach for preparing to find a professional organizer. If you still have questions leave a comment and I will be happy to answer them.



I have to admit when I first looked at this video I had to laugh because a lot of times people try to clean or straighten before I come. But if you do that I can't get a true picture of how you live and your problem areas. This video gives you things to think about before you hire a professional and what it entails. But please keep in mind that all organizers are different and may have different ways of working. Not every organizer has a contract for you to sign and not every organizer bills you. So keep that in mind also when you are considering hiring an organizer.

Save money with a clean and green home

I found this great story about getting ready for spring cleaning and saving money at the same time. The reason that I found this article so helpful is because in this down economy this is a great way to make your own products, save the environment and save some money. I also like how the author points out alternative uses for old dresses and pillowcases that may not be suitable for donating, but can be repurposed. Check it out.
