Keeping Clutter Away

While professional organizers and “clutter busters” are the rage these days, with even Oprah and Donald Trump singing the praises of these clutter gurus, few of us realize how to keep that clutter from reappearing once we’ve moved it out. Do we ever really ask the question, “Why does the clutter keep coming back?!” As if having a life of its own, we all know the uphill battle most of us fight trying to keep our homes looking like the ideal we have in our minds of that photo on the front of the magazines. We have the closet organizers, the desk files organizers, the special toy dressers that double as an ottoman, and all the fun goodies that our professional organizer has recommended, and yet IT KEEPS COMING BACK into our lives!

Getting Organized

Years ago my family and I moved from a cramped two-bedroom apartment into a spacious house. Instead of having to squeeze my home office in half a room, I finally had a nice 10' x 12' room all to myself. Since I was accustomed to working in less than half this area, I knew I'd have plenty of room to work with, so I wanted to intelligently organize it in a way that would allow me to work efficiently on a variety of projects without creating a cluttered mess. While browsing a local bookstore before the move, on a whim I bought a book called Organizing From the Inside Out by Julie Morgenstern. It contained many great organizing tips and adroitly explained where people normally go wrong when trying to get organized. I'd like to share with you what I learned from reading this book and organizing my home office from scratch.

Organizing For Success: Create Systems To De-Stress Your Life

With a million-and-one things to keep track of every day, it's easy to let things fall through the cracks. Some of these things may not come with much of a consequence, but others could be costly (just imagine how you'll feel showing up at a meeting without the report you worked on in your bedroom last night!). Setting up systems for those things you do over and over again can take the stress (and maybe embarassment) out of your life. The more activities you have set up with systems, the less you have to think about those million-and-one things every day--you can spend your time on the fun things!
