It wasn’t the compliment I was expecting. Normally if a client is complimenting me, it’s about how wonderful their space looks after I leave! (I don’t mean to brag, but I really do know what I’m doing!) And normally a compliment doesn’t come when you meet someone for the first time.   I introduced myself & my team, we exchanged the polite “nice to meet you” responses & the first thing she says after that is, “I read your blog & I have…

Invitations—That party was 2 years ago! Calendars—Great idea in theory but you never kept it up did you? Coupons—Long since expired. Photos—Who are those kids anyway? I know what…

OK….be honest. Have you started? Ya know, with that whole “I’m getting organized this year” thing? Don’t feel bad, everyone does it. It’s in the top 3 New Years Resolutions…getting organized. But what does that mean exactly? Are you going to spend a ton of money on bins to put things in, never to be seen or heard from again? Because if that’s the case, that’s not organizing. That’s indecisive with hoarding tendencies.
