About

         This blog is being written to share my many experiences and ideas on how to get more organized and stay that way.Our lives are so busy we seem to only get done what is necessary to get through each day.Then we rush around like crazy the day before the birthday party or holiday and try to get it all done last minute.

I want this blog to help you step back and take a moment to look at what events are coming up in the next week or two and figure out a plan to get a little done each day so you don’t have that mad rush. A calendar is a great tool to help keep you organized.

I have had an interest in organizing and decluttering since the early 1980’s.I have read many books and put into practice different plans to help keep me organized and decluttered.It doesn’t come natural to me so I understand why so many of you have problems with it.

I live inSt. Louis,MOwith my husband, cat, dog, and an occasional son.My youngest is away at college but comes home for breaks.I consider myself an almost empty nester.

    Hello. When I was reading your posts, I saw you mention St. Louis. I live in St. Louis myself (St. Louis Hills) I adore your blog. I also know the pain of giving away books as I am writing a post about that very thing (it feels like I should start a Book Lovers Annon. Group! ;) I loved your pay-it-forward act of giving to the new teacher. I am signing up so you can be the good voice in my head each month! Great work you are doing here!!!

    Hi Lee, happy to meet another St. Louisian. Thanks for the compliment. If you start a Book Lovers Annon. Group I’d gladly join. If I could only stay away from the yearly St. Louis Book Fair I might have a fighting chance at not adding more books to my collection.
