• The kitchen is the most frequently used room in most homes. It’s also likely one of the most unorganized! Add ADHD into the equation and it becomes even more imperative that the space is organized in a way that allows you to be the most successful and use it most effectively.

  • Hope everyone had a great fall break! We were able to see the Twins for a little bit of fall break. Now that Fall Break is over, and we can start thinking about getting our lives in order for the holidays.

  • Prepare your outdoor space for fall with 7 easy tips! From cozy decor to safety and entertainment, get ready for cool nights and fun gatherings.

  • When we hear the word “perfect”, we often consider it a compliment. However, perfectionism in the workplace is often a hinderance. Are there benefits to someone striving for the goal of perfection in their career?

  • In today's fast-paced digital world, staying organized is no longer just about keeping a tidy desk or a well-arranged closet; it extends into the digital realm. From overflowing email inboxes to cluttered cloud storage, managing digital chaos is becoming increasingly crucial.

  • We’re all guilty of it. Getting hit with the “I want to organize my life!” bug that in reality meant you threw away 2-3 items, bought a ton of new storage containers, and then shoved things you weren’t really sure what to do with into various bins, baskets, and drawers.

  • 7 things NOT to do when organizing your pool toys and floats. It’s that time of year when we need to evaluate all our pool toys and floats around the yard and storage areas. These items are always bulky and frankly kind of annoying to go through. LOL! I know it is for me.

  • The topic of this post is a big one…literally. The boomer generation got its name because of the historically big “boom” in U.S births between 1946 and 1964. Now? In 2024? The boomer generation is aging and that means over three million people are at a time in their lives where it makes sense to downsize.

  • May is already here, and we are in FULL graduation mode with my identical twins, Peyton and Sydney! It’s a bittersweet time but that doesn’t stop me from some of the home projects I have going on around the house.

  • It is often very tempting to want to hit the “pause button” on work. Especially this time of year with the weather beginning to improve and more Spring activities popping up, it’s more appealing than ever to hit pause by using “Hold” or “To Review” files.

  • For most of us natural born organizers, nothing is more annoyingly stressful than the glaring red notification bubble on our email inbox.

  • Happy February! I hope everyone is off to a good start in 2024. For me, it has been very chaotic, but I like to say it’s controlled chaos! Lol! The new year always brings me great [...]

Did I accomplish anything today? What did I spend my entire day doing if it wasn’t my work?!!”
