  Organizing Thought of the Day

Things You Use, But Don't Have Space For


I was helping a client declutter her kitchen the other day. Some items were very easy for her to get rid of...a cracked wooden spoon, two of five spatulas, dilapidated pot holders, etc. But there were other things that she did not want to get rid of, like Mr. and Mrs. Santa salt and pepper shakers, a set of colorful salad servers, and a cherry pitter.

These are items she uses, but only uses occasionally. The salt and pepper shakers are only used from Thanksgiving to Christmas, the fancy salad servers are only used when she has summertime guests, and the cherry pitter is only used once a year when she makes cherry preserves.

Her kitchen was very tiny with very little space for things she hardly ever uses. So we created a few 'overflow boxes.' We purchased three, medium-sized plastic bins and labeled them:

Kitchen: Seasonal
Kitchen: Canning
Kitchen: Entertaining

Any items she had in any of these categories went into the appropriate 'Overflow' box.

The salt and pepper shakers went into her Seasonal Overflow Box, along with other holiday items like cookie cutters, Christmas pot holders, reindeer cheese spreaders, and a snowflake spoon holder.

The cherry pitter, a canning jar lifter, jar labels, extra lids and such went into the Canning Overflow Box.

The salad servers, napkin rings, a cheese board, and other entertaining items went into the Entertaining Overflow Box.

These boxes were stored in her storage closet, where they are easy to access when needed, but out of the way on a daily basis. She was so happy that her kitchen storage areas are no longer cluttered. Plus, when she needs something only for occasional use, like the cherry pitter, she knows right where it is.

A friend who works from home but whose 'office' is basically only a desk has an 'Overflow Box' for her extra office supplies. It is stored in her hall closet.

The only caveat to an Overflow Box is being sure you don't allow it to become a portable junk drawer. The only things allowed in the Overflow Box must be things you USE at least occasionally. It is not for storing those dishtowels you hate, a surplus of fast food menus, or the plastic cups from coffee shop you're storing because you might, possibly, maybe 'someday' (who knows when) need them...'just in case.' Those types of items should not go in the Overflow Box. They should go to the thrift store or your trash can.

  This Week's Recommendation

Have you ever wanted to sing
or to sing better?

Discover how easy it is with...


Singorama

Whether you're a beginner or intermediate singer
you'll discover how to take your singing voice
to the next level...fast, effective, and FUN!




For super quick details on how you can sing better than you ever imagined, visit:

http://www.getorganizednow.com/rd-singing.html

Have you ever found yourself alone, singing a song...maybe out of tune... only to realize a co-worker or family member listening and making fun of your ability? Or maybe it was an insensitive joke, like: 'Don't give up your day job.'

We shrug these things off and pretend they don't bother us, but it hurts and it ruins our joy of singing.

On the other hand, you may be very excited to know that, within a matter of weeks, you could...

Sing so incredibly well and with such power and expression, that when people listened to your voice, they felt goosebumps and welled up with emotional tears?

This leads me to something really good that I know you're going to love. If you've ever wanted to learn how to sing (or to sing better), this singing course is head and shoulders above the rest...it's called Singorama.

Learn how to:

* Sing with effortless strength
* Increase your vocal range by at least an octave
* Sing with beautiful tone and perfect pitch
* Hit those high notes without any cracks
* And so much more...(just visit the link and see for yourself!)

P.S. Sing like an angel with the confidence of a rock star! PLUS, it comes with WONDERFUL complimentary bonuses too. Don't delay...I'll remind you only up until July 9th! Visit:

  Take Action


___ 1. Do today's task on my July Monthly Organizing Checklist. The July 7 TO DO focuses on email messages. Visit GetOrganizedNow.com to access my July Monthly Organizing Checklist.

___ 2. Rearrange the contents of your kitchen a bit. Will something you're storing in your kitchen work better if moved to another counter or area...or even another room if you don't use it frequently enough to be stored in the kitchen all the time?

___ 3. Check out the results of my last poll. GON readers responded to, `How do you feel about spending time alone?' Visit GetOrganizedNow.com to view the results of that poll.
