Fabulous Organizing Tips and Thoughts
from GON Readers



Here are a bunch of tips and thoughts from GON Readers to brighten your day...


How I Reuse Empty Tissue Boxes to Stay Organized

I save our empty tissue boxes--boutique or cube style--and reuse them in two really helpful ways. The first use is storing plastic shopping bags in one of the tissue boxes to use as wastebasket liners. Each room with a small wastebasket has its own box of 'trash bags.'

The tissue boxes are available in so many colors and styles that you can coordinate them with any room. My older son has a SpongeBob tissue box.

The second use is in the laundry room. I empty my lint tray after each use. To keep the lint confined, I stick it directly into a tissue box.

Old pop-up baby wipe containers can also be used for this.

Before You Declutter Your Closet, Do This...
Take a realistic look at who you are and what you want to look like in that role before you declutter your closet. Much of our closet reflects who we were or want to be.

Allow yourself five outfits for what you are most of the time and two outfits for who you are some of the time.

For example, I run a farm and homeschool my kids MOST the time so my closet contains MOSTLY comfortable, durable clothes.

I also teach cooking classes so I have two casual outfits and two dressier outfits for church.

--Jamie Fiene, Kenton, OH

An Easy Way to Keep My Shoes in Order
I enjoy having shoes for every outfit. I mean lots and lots of shoes! Keeping them organized was always a chore.

I found an easy way to keep them in order. Using a digital camera, I took a picture of each pair of shoes. I then printed out the pictures, 12 pairs per page, (on regular paper to save on cost).

I cut out the pictures and attached them each to the end of their shoe box. Multiple pairs of sandals often fit in the same box, thus saving space.

The pictures allow for organizing by season and color, and make choosing the right pair of shoes very quick and easy.

All people have clutter to some degree. You may have a little. You may have a ton. MOST people are somewhere right in the middle.

For anyone who has clutter, have no doubt in your mind that CLUTTER GROWS. Small clutter challenges soon turn into large clutter issues.

Plus, clutter is sneaky...it doesn't only show up in the pile of shoes you may have in your closet, the overload of toys in the toy room, the boxes of stuff in the basement, or the stuffed-to-the-max drawers and closets in your home. Clutter can actually invade your life in FOUR forms...

1. Physical Clutter
2. Paper Clutter
3. Digital Clutter
4. Emotional Clutter

Once clutter is here, it begins to wreak all sorts of havoc...

There is only one way to get rid of clutter...and that is by using a proven- effective clutter-removing system. Only then will you be able to face clutter head-on and have the clutter-free life you deserve.

  Take Action


___ 1. Do today's task on my February Monthly Organizing Checklist. The February 18 TO DO focuses on your postage supply. Visit GetOrganizedNow.com to access my February Monthly Organizing Checklist.

___ 2. Stop by my NEW Discussion Forum. If you've been on my newsletter list for awhile, you may recall a Discussion Forum we used to have years back. With the advent of social media, we decided to close down that forum. BUT, we've discovered that MANY of our GON readers miss it so much. So, I have a new forum now and I hope you visit, register, and join in the discussion. It's a wonderful place for tips, to list your challenges, and to get motivated. Visit getorganizednow.boardhost.com to access my new Discussion Forum.

___ 3. Organize a stack of photos...or some digital ones. By the way, last month we polled GON readers and asked, 'Which statement describes you best when it comes to your photos and keeping them organized?' Visit GetOrganizedNow.com to access the results of that poll, along with a bunch of interesting reader comments.

'It takes but one positive thought when given a chance to survive and thrive to overpower an entire army of negative thoughts.' (Robert H. Schuller)

  In Closing


I'd love to hear from you.
