How I Love My Label Maker . . . let me count the ways
I was teaching a seminar on paper management last week, and a gentleman asked, “Why should I use a label maker?” Collective gasp from all Professional Organizers ensued. Seriously, though, there are many reasons, and critical things to consider when choosing and using a label maker. Here’s my thoughts: Reasons for using a label maker […]
bins can hide a multitude of sins…
I was having a really nice conversation with Chad Hunter today about professional organizing (he’s a graphic designer but wants to know more about my field – which I can totally understand because everyone does). During our chat, I used the phrase “bins can hide a multitude of sins.” I love the way this flows. […]
being organized is a good thing… but sometimes you can have too much of a good thing!
I’m a very organized person – just ask anyone who knows me. It’s in my blood, I guess. I’m always straightening, labeling, putting things in bins, etc. But sometimes, I just get out of control – I mean it – hold me back . . . When I got my new laptop, it had Vista. […]

We organized and staged the offices of the Murfreesboro Domestic Violence Program. This is a wonderful group that helps others, but didn’t have the time nor the skills to get the place in order so they could […]
Memorabilia Mess
One of the things I run into with so many clients is what to do with all of the “stuff” of their lives. It’s old resumes, photos, report cards, ticket stubs, letters – all of the things we plan on doing something with someday. Most people plan to scrapbook in some form or another, whether […]
adding to the chaos . . .
So we’ve moved into our little house (and I mean little) and we really love it. We got rid of tons of stuff and set the house up to be really efficient. I can clean the whole place in under an hour from top to bottom. Things were going well, and then we went on […]
easier to find . . . easier to put away . . . everything needs a home
Getting used to this tiny house has been a challenge. Any mess we make needs to be picked up promptly or the whole house looks a wreck. On the plus side, the entire place can be thoroughly cleaned in about an hour. I can vacuum nearly the whole thing without changing outlets. But I have […]
