In my line of work, one of the most common reasons I see houses get so disorganized is because the owners have a great system for getting stuff into the house (shopping, gifts, freebies) and no system for getting stuff out of the house. If you keep adding to the contents of your home without ever removing [...]

Don’t start organizing without making a plan for your space first. Take the time to sit down and write out a list of all the functions the room has to serve. Otherwise, how will you know what should stay or go? Don’t expect to get your entire room organized in a day. Can you say [...]

Will this amazing bookshelf solve all of your problems? Or just add to them? I see this happen all the time, so I thought I would blog about it in an attempt to keep you from tumbling down the same path: A person decides that today is the day they are going to get organized! [...]

Disorganization isn’t just a space issue or a problem we can solve by taking a trip to the Container Store. It’s a quality of life issue, and as such, it strongly affects our thoughts and emotions. When we are disorganized, we might think to ourselves “it’s because I’m lazy” or “because I’m a slob.” We [...]
