Do you have folders on your computer, and notebooks in your office, filled with notes, ideas, articles and passages you wanted to keep at one point, but they've now become files and notebooks you never look at anymore?
Maybe those notes that you took time to compile just feel like a huge mountain of information to sift through, and so it sits there, unused!
In this episode, I'll tell you about the note-organizing method I've been using. It's simple, quick, and I can easily find notes and resources I've kept on various topics.
Also listen to Episode 002 to refresh your memory about The Simple Single. I use this concept to choose where to keep my notes, ideas and resources.

In this mini-episode, I'm sharing with you what my friend, Ellen Faye, author of Productivity For How You're Wired told me about 2 years ago: A "B' is good enough!
It took a while for me to absorb this, and it may take you a while, too. But I share this with you wholeheartedly: perfection may not be what you need right now. Get to that "B" in your home, have more people over, love your house, enjoy your family. Then hire someone (dare I say, me? Lol!) to help you get to that 'A'.

Are you worried about decluttering things because of "What If?"
What if I need that notebook from the class I took 8 years ago in my next job?
What if we could use that wig for a future Halloween costume?
I used to get stuck with the What Ifs too. So I tried a bunch of different decluttering methods to see how to get past those.
In this episode, I'm sharing 5 of those methods with you (although there are a bajillion more!) because I think these 5 can get you moving quickly towards building a decluttering habit - which is the cornerstone to organizing, in my opinion!

Do you ever feel like other people are just naturally organized, but for you, the thought of getting your home organized is so overwhelming?

I also invite you to join The Organized Home Advantage private group if you enjoy having little conversations about topics like this. You can share your thoughts and challenges with other working moms in a safe, non-judgmental space. Hope to see you in there!Connect with me:

The Morning, from the time I woke up to the time we left the houseMy Work DayThe Afternoon and Early Evening - afterschool, dinner, etc., andThe Late Evening, after the kids were all taken care of, or were in bed
It happens to all of us. In fact, it used to happen so much that my days felt overwhelming and chaotic, from the moment the kids woke up, to the minute I finally fell asleep at night!
When I started using my 4-Stage Daily Plan, things were very different: I know my Essentials for each Stage, and I worked to accomplish those, no matter what "priority" might pop up during the day.

Do you feel like you're drowning in huge plastic bins full of kids' outgrown clothes? So much so, that you actually don't want to dig in them for the next size your child will fit into?
The bin system, andThe too-big and too-small container system
The trick is to find that balance between saving money by keeping clothes to reuse, and adapting to the space you have available to store these clothes easily and efficiently, so that you'll actually use them again!
The two systems I recommend are:Resources mentioned in this episode:
