Livin' the Dream

Things just don't fit right, you may think. Or, if there were only more cabinets in this darn kitchen! Whatever it is about your home that's cramping your style, here's a way to address it all now. Make yourself a map. Not a map of your home the way it is exactly, but a map of what you need it to be. Begin with what is unchangeable. For instance, if you are not prepared to do any reconstruction, all of your walls and fixed appliances and shelving are the first things that belong on your map. Add in only furniture that you absolutely know is in the appropriate room. Leave out any large items that you think might not stay in place. Next, it's time to dream. Fill in the blank rooms with a word or two for what you intend to do in those rooms. Take your map from room to room and be a detective. Does everything in this room relate to what it says on your map? Are there things that don't belong? Can everything that belongs be put away in some sort of storage in this room? |

After 6 years working closely with a wide variety of people looking to organize their homes, their offices, their files and paper, and their lives, I have come up with a term that describes a common experience that is a key factor leading many to the cluttered situations they exasperatingly find themselves in. The term is S.T.A.R.S. "Shiny Things (© Annette Reyman) Syndrome". Want to know if you're suffering from seeing STARS? Here are the symptoms - Characterized by:

Qualities of Organized People

Organized people are decision makers. "In general, organized people can say, 'This is good enough,' and then move forward," says Reyman. "It doesn't have to be perfect, and we don't have to rehash it 10,000 different ways." Organized people consider their options, choose one and stick to it, without looking back with regret on the paths not taken, she says. (read more...) |
Do You Rent Storage?

I've got all the money I'll ever need, if I die by four o'clock. - Henny Youngman Hiring a professional organizer can save you money. Are you one of those people who has so much money you just don't know what to do with it? You know, extra cash just laying around collecting dust. No? Me neither. I will be speaking at the Philadelphia Home Show this coming weekend. Last year, Mark Brunetz of the reality show Clean House, spoke before me. I really enjoyed listening to him speak about his experiences working on the show and with people who really needed help getting their homes back in order. He also had a lot of great information to share. One thing Mark shared was the statistic that one in every ten Americans rents a storage unit. One in twenty rent multiple. First, I just want to say that there are many good reasons to rent a storage unit, some of them being:
to name a few. However, "I have more stuff than what can fit into my home" is not one of them. If you have more than what you can fit into your home you either have too much stuff or need to buy a bigger home. If buying something bigger is not an option, think about this: A 5 X 10 foot storage unit averages about $175.00 per month. Would you rather pay $175 dollars to store things you don't use, or put $175 extra into your budget each month? That's an extra $2,100.00 per year. Consider what it's worth before you pay one more month's rent. |
Organizing is Child's Play

At a recent local area Home Show, a fellow organizer and I played an organizing game with some of the children who stopped by our booth with their parents. The object: to sort out a jumbled mess of office supplies and fit them into a compartmentalized tray. The kids had a timed minute to complete the task and then received a prize.
2. Make sure they have the necessary tools.
An infant needs help for everything, a toddler wants to start doing things on their own, a pre-teen's hormones make them see things differently. Each developmental stage our children go through is a also a developmental stage for us as parents. We are challenged to learn how much autonomy we should give at each stage. A good rule of thumb is: if there's no harm in trying on their own, let them try. Organizing is a life skill that can support your child at every stage of their life for the rest of their life. Give them that gift. |

Three P's of Moving
Posted on 25 October, 2013 at 12:04 |
![]() |
Gearing up for a Big Move? The three P’s I am referring to are, in short: paper, pearls and pills. Whether you will have a one or two day
cross-town move or a four to five day cross-country move, it will benefit you
to have control of items that are critical and vital to you and your
family.
Pearls: Whatever jewelry you may have of any value
should be kept with you at all times or securely stored in a safe or safety
deposit box. Moving time can be
confusing; don’t leave your valuables to chance.
Naturally, you can spend time post-move
searching boxes for these essential three P’s.
I suggest you save yourself the added stress. Make a list now and, when it’s time, start by
setting these items aside. You’ll be
happy that you did. Do you have a busy family with no time to waste? Visit All Right Moves to hire a team of NAPO professional organize who will unpack and organize your home in a matter of days. All Right Moves will help you move in so you can move on! |
