Lifelong Organizers

It snowed yesterday and we did not get a chance to put our outdoor lights out. The bins of goodies to decorate the house are looking at me now but I have yet to have a cup of coffee. Right now my mind says the decorating is the reward for the office organization that must get done. I’ll try to keep you posted. But in the meantime, how are you and what is your story? Please share when you can. Jessica 🍎

Hello and here’s wishing you and your organizing projects well. As I visit my family I see trends on how cluttering all begins. It can really be a challenge to keep space clear…especially when the little things start to take over.

No judgement here as I completely understand.

What’s interesting is you don’t always know you are stacking items or just putting them down somewhere until a space is cleared. The key I believe is to develop a simple system that allowed you to put something down, when and if needed, but to return and put it where it belongs before it becomes clutter.

I just lightly assisted my mother in law in her kitchen and living room and our family space instantly increased. What might you do today to gently update, change or re-arrange your physical space to accommodate your mental well being?

When was the last time you checked your pantry, fridge or freezer for items you meant to eat or cook but never did?

Maybe you started a Keto diet and then ended with an extra supply of high protein foods.

Please consider a quick kitchen purge to give your local food bank in need a splurge.

In the spirit of all that you already do please know how much your neighbors and community continue to appreciate ☺️ you.

We need the room! After an afternoon family walk (turned hike) we discussed increasing our movement (physical activity). Using the smart tv as a resource we found an already installed fitness app and proceeded to stretch. As the project downstairs moved upstairs to accommodate an indoor/outdoor neighborhood event…we had no room. It’s been days and weeks but I have returned to our project.

Professional Organizing is really all about identifying an issue…clutter, embarrassment, lack of time, too much stuff, not enough storage, etc.

Today a future client mentioned the need to have clear and calm space to function asked, “do you know what I mean?” Of course I do! As this applies to me too!

Environmental alignment is the key and it starts with identifying the need. Although it took some time to get back on track with my own project here I am saying…it’s never too late. And there are no placement mistakes as fashion and function may change but developing your system that adjusts over time can last forever.

As Halloween approaches and the announcement for a neighborhood block party has been delivered…my memorabilia project had to be addressed and moved. You see if weather permits this will be an outdoor event and if the bathroom is needed my project would have been in the way. So, the timing of this event has again motivated me to return to this project. Therefore, the space wanted has been achieved BUT the project has just been moved.
