If you enjoyed my five-day free organization workshop last week – you were part of an amazing support group, taking wild action and getting stuff organized! If you weren’t, there’s still good news. 🙂 I’ve condensed one of my final lessons in today’s video. Because it’s that important. For my workshop rockstars, consider this a refresher…
Chances are you’ve made a resolution (or two) about getting into shape, taking care of your health or getting your life organized. And for that I commend you. But if you’re anything like me, I also know that as the year rolls on, those promises can seem daunting. Like, holy moly, there’s a lot I…
Having moved three times in my first three years of marriage, I began to expect it as a way of life for my hubby and me. In fact, when we moved from New York City to Nashville, I was certain we’d be headed back “home” within a couple of years. And now over ten years…
Is it cliche to thank you today? (Just before Thanksgiving). Perhaps. But I like to think that gratitude is something I show throughout the year. Grateful for a heated home, hot water, accessible food, great friends, loving family and a incredibly supportive community of Lifers. (That would be YOU!) But of course there are special…
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…
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…
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…
