Intuition-Driven Organization
I identified as an organized person until 2020 tore through like a tornado, upending all my self-delusions. When my family was suddenly plunged into the work-from-home, learn-from-home, cook-every-meal-at-home life, everything turned into a chaotic mess.

Getting Through the In-between
Every fall and winter, it’s the same old thing. Shorter days, colder nights, lots of holidays and birthdays to celebrate. Somehow, the past few months were never-ending. The pandemic restrictions contributed to it, but I did too. A box from work I brought home still needs unpacking. Piles of clothes over there, stacks of books and things, and many random moments when I thought I’d do it tomorrow. It almost springs with the usual signs of tulips breaking through the ground and grass changing from brown-yellow to springtime green.

There's Power in De-cluttering.
Aww, spring! The time where the cool gentle breeze brushes against your cheeks, dew on the grass makes its debut, flowers are in bloom, and you can finally let nature flow through our windows! Yes, I would live in springtime all year if I could. The weather is a nice touch, but it’s the decluttering for me.

How To Organize Any Space Like A Boss
Organizational videos, hacks, Marie Condo and the “Art of Tidying Up, the “Minimalists” and their unending barrage of Netflix specials combined with being stuck at home for the better part of the year has everyone wanting to have an ethereal work/living space with just the right amount of uniqueness to be interesting but also the right amount of restraint to appear refined.

SPRING FORWARD
Few things come as easy to me as organizing. So when invited to write about this topic, it was like the mothership calling me home. The only challenge is narrowing down a topic of organization such as workplace, home, time, bills, cleaning schedule, life, etc. The list is endless. Friends have always said I am super organized and have called upon me for help. I have organized garages, basements, moving sales, elementary school classrooms, and small living spaces for friends over the years. A dream of mine would be "personal organizer", with personal being the key word as I would need some sort of certification to be classified as professional, and this girl is done with school!

Baskets Change Everything
A year ago I moved across the country with my wife and daughter. I boxed up everything we loved to ship across this big beautiful land and gave everything else away. I let go of half of our belongings and I vowed to never let my house accumulate that much clutter ever again. But how could I make that happen, especially with a four-year-old? I needed a system. I needed baskets.

A Neat Freak's unlikely guide to basic organization
I worked as a wardrobe stylist and consultant for eight years, organizing and re-designing people's closets. I've also been an anal retentive stickler for order since I was a child, and organization is in my fiber. My mother was a neat-freak when my sister and I were kids. Now she has six pets and doesn't fuss too much about the mess, but when my sister and I were children she beat those cleaning up habits into us well. I always loved (and still admire) how we could ask our mother for anything, and she would know exactly where to find it. Even now, I pride myself on the same superpower I got from her. I know where everything is. When I have to find something, I go directly to its place. If it's not there, I assume it ran away and no lo longer exists. I never look in two places.

Yay, Spring Cleaning
It is that time again. The time of year where everyone’s nose and eyes are a continuous stream of liquids and that scratch at the back of your throat just doesn’t want to go away. We cram allergy medications to have some sort of calmness from the bombardment of allergens that most of us suffer from. It reminds us one other thing that most of us were forced to participate in as youngsters. The dreaded, Spring Cleaning. You look around your abode and you see that closet corner with totes, shoeboxes, suitcases, U-Haul boxes or whatever you could find at that moment you stuffed random objects and clothes in to set you up for this annual celebration of cleaning out the junk. It is a metaphor, or at least I consider it a metaphor; out with the old and in with the clean. Three or four months after our New Year’s Resolutions we are set to embark on a cleaning rampage that our grandparents, great-grandparents, and great-great-grandparents would nod in approval.
