Organizing projects I love: closets, kitchens, a massive
pile of paper. Mudrooms are my favorite, and I've never met a playroom that didn't beckon.
Organizing projects I tolerate: garages, basements, sheds - basically any space that provides safe
shelter for spiders.
Organizing projects that leave me stymied: meal planning,
kids’ chores, time and task management. Actually, I don’t mind assisting a
client with these challenges; I’m just not very good at them myself. I think I've tried a dozen different ways to consistently get dinner on the table, and I still find myself
staring in the freezer at 5 PM.
It’s been ten years since I launched Totally Orderly, and
this has become clear: I am not-so-totally-orderly. Oh, I’m orderly in lots of
ways. My pantry is always ship shape. My papers are filed just so. But I
definitely have my own organizing demons.
So welcome to Not So Totally Orderly – true confessions of a
professional organizer who doesn't always see the simple solution. But I’ll search
for that easy, good enough, done-but-not-perfect solution – not just because I
know my clients will appreciate it, but because I need it, too!
Tell me - in
what ways are you not-so-totally-orderly?
