Get Organized In January
Did you know that January is National GO Month? GO for Get Organized. I am not the only one that gets the fresh start feeling after Christmas!
Many of the stores have had their containers and office supplies out in full view rapidly filling the spaces the Christmas decor has begun to leave. Right beside all of the Valentine stuff already beginning to line the shelves. Before you get excited and start shelling out your hard earned cash for all of those pretty boxes and bins, please take a minute to read Container Confusion. Slow down and make a plan. Know exactly what supplies you need to get organized. Do not put yourself in a place where your organizing boxes are unused and become additional clutter for you to deal with.
I will be glad to try to answer any specific organizing questions you have so ask in any of the comments or feel free to send me an e-mail if you are comment shy. Organizing is something I am very passionate about. I spend a lot of time keeping my eyes open for all kinds of ideas. There will be times when I will not have the answer for you, but I probably can point you to several good sources to save you search time.
It takes time to get organized. You will not accomplish it in a day. Probably not in the month of January. Keep your chin and your spirits up. Any progress you make regardless of the day or month is progress. Claim the accomplishments instead of beating yourself up with the things yet to get done.

WOw …at least over there you follow the traditional order of Christmas decor being replaced by Valentines stuff. Over here (in Australia) they’re already putting out easter stuff!
I also love to organize! It makes finding things so much easier! I like to use whiteboards and Expo Markers to provide myself with lists on what I need to organize. I write down that I need to clean and box those old books on the bookshelf and use that space for recent holiday pictures! By using those lists it makes me feel like my life more organized.
