Summer is here!

Summer is officially here! That mean it's finally time to put away the bulky, itchy winter coats and sweaters and bring out the comfy shorts and colorful sundresses. When storing winter items, it is best to use clear plastic bins that are well sealed and labeled. Don't forget to add some cedar chips to keep those pesky clothing-eating critters at bay! To keep coats, suits, and dresses from getting wrinkled, store them on a clothing rack in fabric bags. During this process be sure to purge anything you haven't worn all season. Chances are you're not going to wear it next season either. Now, put on those sandals and have a great summer!

Happy Organizing!

Cleaning off your Desk

At the end of the day, take 10 minutes to put things on your desk back where they belong, file papers and write out your to-do list for the following day. When you walk into work the next morning, you will be greeted by a clean desk and a fresh start to your day. Try it once and see how it makes you feel the next day. I guarantee you'll breathe a sigh of relief. :-)

Bragging Rights

Last night a woman I am helping told me I was a "life saver, really". I asked if I could quote her. She said "sure". :-)

Even Organizers Get Tips, too!

My neighbor gave me a great organizing tip the other day....

If you have multiples of an item that are stored away, for example: tea, shampoo, deoderant, peanut butter, paper towels, etc... mark the one you are currently using with a marker. When you run out of that item, you will know what you have more on-hand. This will save you from buying items that you already have because they are out of sight and out of mind.

Thanks, Diane!
