You’re in for a treat today! I’m doing things a little differently around here this week. You get to hear from the original OrgJunkie herself, Laura Wittman. And if you’re not familiar with Laura, then you really don’t want to miss out on today’s insider scoop with her. Laura and I talk all things organization….and…
You know how it’s so much easier to give advice to others than to take it yourself? “You really shouldn’t eat so much sugar.” “Don’t do stuff that doesn’t make you happy.” “Give yourself a break and just get some help.” But when it comes to ourselves, we fall short on our heeded advice or…
On the countertop. To the kitchen table. To the desk. To the coffee table. To the bedside table. Back to the countertop. That’s basically the clutter cycle in our home. There are so many things we don’t question. We just continue to shuffle them from one place to another: simply part of our routine. No asking…
Have you heard of the 80/20 principle (AKA, the 80-20 rule?) That 80% of effects comes from 20% of the causes. Like 80% of your sales come from 20% of your clients. Or 80% of the clothes you wear comes from 20% of your wardrobe. Or 80% of organization value comes from 20% of the…
Change is hard, isn’t it? You have to do things differently, think differently, maybe even act differently. I made a big change. In case you missed it last week, I’ll be sending out my videos every other week, (instead of weekly). I have to admit, it was a big leap for me and I was kind…
You know when you organize a drawer and it makes you feel so great? You loooove how it looks and how easy it is to find what you need. And then, within a week, it’s a complete disaster again. What gives?! Makes you feel like, “What’s the point of organizing it? It’s just going…
Wanna know what I’ve put off for six years? Making albums. I used to make one each year (since 2002) – with memories of our family, documented chronologically from January through December. I painstakingly worked on each album with incredible detail: scanned in travel tickets, event pamphlets, movie stubs, school photos, kids artwork and…
Do you think I’m lazy? I mean, I am obsessed with doing things the easy way. 😉 But I like to think of it more like – smart. I learned to think this way from my hubby. (Yes, I married well). The truth is when we got hitched, I wasn’t exactly the most systematic person in…
My closets are perfectly organized. I never have paper piles. My house is always tidy. Best part is my kids are over-the-top clean and haaaaate leaving their things out. Gimme a minute, please. I’ve got to pull myself out o hysterics, smack myself out of fantasy land and wake up to the reality of my life. My…
One small carry on bag. That’s what I packed for my two week getaway when I was visiting home a few weeks ago. I knew I’d be moving from house to house (parents, in-laws, cousins, brother and friends), so I wanted to keep it light and easy to pack, unpack and take with me. And…
