Conquering the Chaos

Greetings! Charlie Brown Valentine

TopAh Valentine's Day...the day when we profess our love for that special someone, the day absentminded spouses run into Kroger on the way home to buy that last rose boquet, the day when children exchange whimsical cards with Jimmy Neutron or Harry Potter staring out saying "Valentine You Are Loved."  What would happen if we had to give a Valentine to ourselves?  What would your Valentine card say?  What kind of gift would you give yourself?  More time in the day?...Less to do?...A clutter-free environment?  On Valentine's Day as well as every other day of the year, you can give yourself, or someone you love, the gift of time and organization.  Just call Organized Chaos today and let us create an environment where there's a place for everything, and everything is in its place, a place that seems to say, "Valentine You Are Loved!"
 
And speaking of love, we absolutely LOVED the response to our 1st Annual Get Organized Month Contest!  In fact, we had such great responses, we decided to award 2nd and 3rd place prizes as well.  Click on the green light to see who our lucky winners are!
 
Organizing Tip of the Month:  if you have a room that has become cluttered and disorganized, but the thought of fixing it makes your head hurt, try this approach.  Pick the area of the room that bothers you the most.  Set a timer for 30 minutes, or an amount that you can devote based on your schedule.  Work on only that area that bothers you the most.  If you finish before the timer goes off, move on to the next most troublesome area.  When the timer goes off, walk away and return later when you can devote another 30 minutes or so.  By tackling the project in small increments, it seems less threatening and, before you know it, you'll have the room finished and be ready to move on to another project.
