Being Organized

Organizing


Being organized. Take your first step now.

Being organized is not minimalism.  Our team of organizers knows where everything in their house is and one will not find clutter on counters and workspaces, or in drawers or behind closet doors.  Zones in our kitchens are practical, such as coffee mugs are above the coffee maker.  Similar glasses are organized and lined up together.  All mixing bowls are nested and grouped.  The simple pleasures of being organized are not only having clear countertops but knowing items behind doors will be tidy.  

We are organized.

We do not want to throw everything you have away. Organizing allows you to:

1) find things easily

2) have less stress and enjoy a sense of peace

3) have items that are useful and/or that you love

Benefits of being organized.

Many friends and family members make comments such as, “you’d be so proud of me, I took 3 bags to the donation center yesterday.”  My reply is always, how do you feel after doing that?  The resounding response is ”I can’t believe I didn’t do it years ago. Those clothes have been out of date and have not fit me for a very long time. I always thought I would consign them.”  Right now, with covid, consignment stores are being more picky than ever.  Many of the ones we use are not taking formal wear such as dresses, mens blazers etc. because that’s now what people are wearing in the midst of this pandemic.  Letting go is a positive step forward to becoming organized.

Donation Centers.

Closing for several months, donation centers are now open.  However, some are not sending trucks for home delivery pick-ups; others have limited the items they are taking.  We love donation centers because our items are going to someone who will love and use them.  This not only benefits the new owner, but allows us to let go more easily because we are not filling a landfill and there is someone on the other end of the donation who will appreciate the item. NOW is the time to start because who knows what the future will be for donation centers. If they close again, you will find us crying in a corner somewhere! Today is a very good time to load up some bags or boxes. Get rid of items you don’t love or use. Enjoy that sense of peace that accompanies the “letting-go” process. And, find things easily!  The clock is ticking….
