Organize your house, organize your life.

This month’s special focus is on organization.  Whether you are just moving into your home, getting ready to sell or simply staying put, these are resources for everyone to get more organized and simplify your life. Throughout the month, look for additional information help you organize your life.

 

 One web page devoted to organizing not jut your home, but your life is The Flylady For the housework, the basic premise is that you divide the house into zones, break jobs up into small 15 minute segments, set your timer for 15 minutes and then move on with your day.  The site is all about building habits and routines.  Try the 27 fling boogie to quickly begin to clear away the clutter.  I have loosely followed flylady for a few years and do feel like small accomplishments add up when I follow the program consistently.  There is a lot of information available on the flylady site or you can sign up for multiple daily email reminders.  The email list sends out between 10 and 20 emails a day, from reminders to drink your water, to a nightly email telling you it is late and time to go bed, you need your rest.  Other emails are testimonials from other members that have had success with the system.

 

 

Need more help?  There are professional organizers that will come and either organize for you or work with you to organize your things.  In Yolo county,  Claudia Smith, of Clear Your Clutter Consulting works with people, even offering classes through the recreation department to get people on the road to organization.  Outside of this area, check out the National Association of Professional Organizers,  to search for a professional organizer anywhere in the country.
