What Does a Professional Organizer Do?

People often ask me what a Professional Organizer does. Does a PO come in and straighten all my pencils and color code my spices? Does a PO clean my house while putting all my DVDs in alphabetical order? In general, the answer to both questions is no.

Tuesday's Organizing Tip: Photographs

Tuesday Tip: Want to organize your printed photos? The first step is to gather them all in one place so you know what you have.

The Spring Fling Has Flung!

Thank you to everyone who participated in the Spring Fling 2013. For the entire month of April we tackled small tasks every day to declutter our home, our calendar and our minds.

Did you miss it? No worries! You can follow along at your own pace with these links to the four weeks of weekly roundups.

Spring Fling Wrapup #4

Spring Fling Wrapup #4

Spring has sprung and it’s a wonderful time to get rid of clutter and start fresh. Join me for the entire month of April for a Spring Fling. Every day we will be sorting, discarding and flinging items and ideas from a wide variety of areas of our home and lives.  You can pick and choose which flings you would like do. You can do them every day or do them at your own pace. It’s all up to you! 

And remember good and done is better than perfect and postponed!  So let’s start flinging!
