What better way to celebrate our 1 year blogiversary than with MORE free tips from the organizing experts? Yep, I figured you’d like that. =) I asked my organizing friends on Twitter to share their favorite tip – just one, so you know these tips are the best…and there are 10 of them. Enjoy!
__________________________________________________________________________________
ProfOrganizer Get it out of your head and onto paper (or the computer) so you can think ABOUT something (contextually) rather than just OF it.
OrganizeAtlanta If you don’t need it, use it, or love it, why are you keeping it? Probably ok to let go.
CHorganize Sort incoming paper (home or office) into action or reference, at the least!
clutterdietUse a dab of Museum Putty under drawer dividers to keep them from sliding around in drawers
PutItAway My top organizing tip is keep a calendar and write commitments down. Less likely to miss deadlines, commitments, social occasions, etc.
metrozing My favorite tip is the “pump and dump the trash on your dash and junk in your trunk” each time you fill up at the gas station.
afreshspacePlanning is key: After making your to-do list the night before, plan route of travel, place things in car, prep AM routine.
orgconnectIncorporate labels anywhere and everywhere. They reinforce where things belong and encourage others (& yourself) to maintain the system.
johntrosko Make daily habit list of 3-5 things; make your bed, wash yesterday’s dishes, clear clutter, etc. Get the basics out of the way.

bkajino Break it down: If you’re overwhelmed with organizing your office, start with one thing: what is bothering you most. Start with your desktop, one drawer, a briefcase or one notebook. Once that is done, move onto the next small project. Do one or two a week and your office will be a different place in no time! [Brandie was super smart - she sent me her tip via e-mail instead using the 140 character limit on Twitter!]
