Organizing - What I've Learned

Learn from my experience friends ... do NOT start out your organizing planning by buying $23 worth of magazines with covers offering "Organize in Tight Spaces" or "Clutter be Gone!" ....

Sadly design magazines are just fashion magazines w/chairs and they have about as much useful information. Now I have to dispose of the magazines so they don't add to my (unchanged) clutter.

Guilty.

Recycling magazines and newspapers is a major decluttering event here. I'm a bit addicted to paper.

Is there anyone on here that has ever hired someone from NAPO?

But I did learn to make my mess look pretty.

NOW you tell me! I went out and bought a bunch of organization magazines at the beginning of the year....and they are still sitting on my nightstand waiting to be thrown into the recycle bin.

I'm stopping at LNT on the way home for some organizing items. I'm switching all my spices over from their individual purchased-in, mismatching containers to the small metal tins with the clear lids. I need about 10 more of those, and also I'm going to get some clear plastic bins for DH's closet. When we go to market in 5 weeks (FIVE WEEKS?!!!! AAAAAHHHHH!!!!!), I want the closets to look uncluttered and HUGE. Which any thinking person knows they're not. But they should look it! right?

I did this, and store them on the side of my fridge (they're magnetic), and I LOVE IT! The only downside to the containers, I have a couple that are a bit harder to open than the others.
