GON Reader Letter

Many years ago, you changed my life. I cannot imagine how much clutter I would have if I never had access to your advice. I really liked the newsletter in which you mentioned the idea of putting boxes in each room until it's pretty bare! I'm going to do that! Thank you so much and may God bless you!

Hi Genesia,

Letters like yours is one of the biggest reasons why I do what I do for a living. You truly made my day...thank you!

For my readers who are wondering what the original idea was about...

Sometimes, a great thing that works for people who don't know what to keep and what to get rid of, packing up an entire room...just like you would if you were moving...can work wonders. Store anything valuable, anything you're keeping for legal purposes, or out-of-season items elsewhere, but pack everything else up...clothing, costume jewelry, toys, paperback novels, cosmetics, electronics, etc. Label the boxes as you put things in them.

Live out of these boxes for 30 days.

As it occurs to you that you need items, remove just those required items from the boxes and give them a permanent home. Do this for 30 days. By the end of the 30 days, anything still in boxes can be delivered to your local donation drop-off. The idea behind this is, if you haven't needed it in 30 days, you likely won't need it ever.

Genesia, congratulations on ALL of your accomplishments. I am thrilled for you!

Maria

For super quick details about my Christmas Holiday Planner, visit:

getorganizednow.com/rd-holidayplanner.html

Christmas is supposed to be the season of joy, warmth, reflection, and good will. Why then, is it such a stressful time for so many people? There's no doubt about it. Once Thanksgiving ends, life gets busy.

There are holiday cards to be sent. Gifts to be purchased or made. Holiday dinners to plan. Church, community, and family get-togethers to attend. Holiday treats to bake. Stockings to stuff. Tree trimming, gift wrapping, and getting your house ready for company. The list is endless.

It's no wonder there's so much stress and exhaustion at Christmas-time.

The good news is, it doesn't have to be that way.

That's where my Christmas Holiday Planner comes in. You see, knowing about all the stress and frustration so many people experience this time of year, I thought to myself, 'There has to be a better way...Christmas is supposed to be a joyful, cheerful time.'

And then, suddenly, it hit me. I had to do something to help folks plan and prepare better. I had to help get all of the information, ideas, and notes into one place. It needed to be a cinch to use. It had to have the ability to store information that almost everyone who celebrates Christmas needs to have handy. And it had to be cost-effective.

And that's how the Get Organized Now! Christmas Holiday Planner was born. It's ready to help you experience your most organized Christmas ever this year!

P.S. COMPLIMENTARY BONUS...when you claim your very own copy of the Get Organized Now! Christmas Holiday Planner before FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 2ND...you'll also get my eBook, '101 Holiday Tips and Ideas' COMPLIMENTARY
