Organizing Your Wallet

Organizing, Organizing Your Wallet

Not to think worse case scenario, but oftentimes a little helpful planning can make a bad situation at least palatable.  My daughter recently left her wallet in the seat pocket of an airplane.  She didn’t realize it until a few days later, and I’m happy to report after a call to Jet Blue, we were […]

Too Much Paper!

Mail Sorting, Organizing

Do you dump your mail on the kitchen counter when you walk in the door?  Do bills get lost and go unpaid?  We suggest having a specific mail sort center so you put your mail in the same location every day.  Better yet, take 5 minutes to open it.  Have a recycle basket and a shredder […]

Closet Organization: How to become “unstuck”

closet organizing

    Through the National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO) we have access to many CD’s of the guest speakers from the NAPO annual conference. I just finished listening to a Psychologist who spoke about “stuckness”. What a great word even if you can’t find it in the dictionary! My guess is we all face […]

Snow Days…a perfect time to organize.

Organizing

It looks like most of us survived the blizzard better than expected, and we were very happy we didn’t lose power! Between shoveling and snow blowing, it was a perfect day to get organized and deal with some household projects. Deb has a really big driveway so she spent a lot of the day behind the snow […]

Organizing your Shoes

We visited The Container Store the other day (one of many several in one week) and decided to pull out our camera and show you a few things that we especially like.  You can visit our You Tube channel, just please don’t critique our speaking/acting skills!  They are not representative of our organizing skills!  Deb […]

Repurpose your Household Items

Organizing, repurpose

In the realm of organizing, there are many tricks to the trade some which are original and some that we all pick up from magazines and others along the way.   At Ship Shape Organize we always like to use what clients have before rushing off to The Container Store or Target to purchase bins and […]

Organizing Bags and Pocketbooks

closet organizing, Organizing, Organizing pocketbooks

When organizing your bags, first categorize them by color. Color is typically the first criteria when choosing which bag to use, after that you can sort by smaller clutches, pocketbooks that are better suited to daytime use vs. pocketbooks that are more suitable for evening events, and finally your more casual tote bags. Of course, […]

Closet Organization

closet organizing, Organizing

There are many tools we use to help clients organize their closets and our first rule to having a presentable space is to use similar hangers.  We particularly like the velvet ones that are slim to reduce valuable space and we also find that blouses and dresses that might slip off of plastic hangers work really […]
