31 Days of Organizing Tips: Day 3 (De-cluttering)

Welcome to Day Three of the 31 Days of Organizing Tips series!  

Now that you've created a list of organizing projects, picked one or two to get started on, and planned out your project, it's time to dive in and start organizing!

The first step in organizing is to de-clutter.  We live in a culture that is crazy about "stuff" and we accumulate a lot of it!  Before organizing what you have (and definitely before buying any storage containers!), take some time to assess what you really need and use.  Chances are you have a lot that you didn't know you had or rarely use, and maybe even some things you don't like that much.  The popularity of shows on hoarding and de-cluttering show how much of an issue this is.

31 Days of Organizing Tips: Day 2 (Planning)

Welcome to Day Two of the 31 Days of Organizing Tips series!  

The next step to getting organized is to plan your project.

31 Days of Organizing Tips: Day 1 (Making a List)

Welcome to Day One of the 31 Days of Organizing Tips series!  

Let's get this party started!  Today's tip is about planning your organizing projects.  If you have a lot of areas in your house that need to be organized, start by making a list of all of them.  Now, if you're like me, and you have a lot of projects you want to do, it can be overwhelming trying to figure out where to start.  But the purpose of this list is not to overwhelm you further!  The goal is to help you decide which projects are the most important and which ones can wait.  That way you can get started organizing the projects that are most necessary, which will eliminate some of the overwhelming feelings.  And as you start getting more organized in some areas of your life it will motivate you and energize you to take on some of the others on your list.

September Review

What happened to September?  That was the fastest month I can remember.  It seems like just last week the kids started school.  I love September because it's a month of new routines and new challenges.  My kids have adjusted fabulously to their new teachers and classes and the systems we've put in place to help make mornings, afternoons, and evenings flow smoothly.
