Operation Organization : Professional Organizer Peachtree City, GA : 7 Habits of Highly Organized People

I would not say I was born naturally organized. I've more often identified myself as a more right-brained creative type. However, I've always enjoyed the pursuits and observed the positive effects of organization since childhood. I have found that maintaining a truly consistent organized lifestyle takes a lot of intentional effort, discipline, and practice to achieve. But, it's WORTH it! Beginning my own family has probably afforded me the greatest opportunity to observe a few of the biggest benefits of managing a simplified and organized home and life: To find things when I need them {quickly}.To feel as though I'm being a good steward with my time. As I've grown in my knowledge and understanding of organization through real life experience, and intentional education over the years, I've observed there are a few habits that have helped me maintain an organized lifestyle: 1. FREE your mind. 2. Clutter is magnetic. 3. Eliminate the idea of a "junk drawer" where random items are tossed. 4.

Freezable Foods - yup, you can freeze all of this! Lately I’ve been talking a lot about freezer foods – keeping the freezer stocked, saving time and money by cooking from the freezer, and more. And apparently all of you are very interested in freezer foods because I’ve received all kinds of questions, asking what foods you can and cannot freeze. While I don’t claim to be a “Freezable Foods Expert”, I have frozen more than my share of foods over the last few years; and I’ve taught classes on freezing, drying, and canning. So with that said… Here’s my list of freezable foods. I’ve personally had success freezing everything on the list below. 1. I’ve been known for baking huge batches of sweets in one day and then freezing them for our enjoyment over the next few months. Brownies & Cookies: Yup, I do it all the time. Breads, Buns, Muffins, and Rolls: Just double-bag them to prevent freezer burn and they should be fine for several months Cupcakes & Cake: Yes, I’ve frozen cupcakes and even full cakes! 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Lenjerii de pat Organized "Dream Home" Tour Call me a bit crazy, but I decided it would be fun to create the ultimate organized dream home. Have you ever done anything so silly? I get asked a lot about where I find my inspiration, or where my crazy ideas come from. Well, typically, I sit and gaze at dreamy space, and then try my best to get creative and replicate them on my budget. Or take note of the space itself and ask, "What makes it so pleasing?" and "What makes it so functional?" So I thought it would be loads of fun {what better way to spend a quiet Friday morning?} Individual cubbies for each person to stash their belongings would be so dreamy. For a more realistic sized entry, a pretty painted bookcase paired with pails is another great way to give every family member a "place" for their outdoor gear. A divided tray is a great way to keep entryway clutter organized and easy to find when heading out the door in a jiff! Clear storage is great for quick visual inventory! Never dig through a cold freezer again! How about you?

5 Time Management Tips for Busy Families Guest post by Jennifer from I Heart Organizing 1. Invest in a Great Daily Planner My daily planner is my lifeline. It goes with me everywhere I go. Planners have been around forever, but they are really the most genius way to keep it all together. What’s for lunch on Wednesday? If budgets are tight, with a little creative thinking, a spiral notebook could be transformed for anyone looking to adopt this idea. 2. Family Night gets scheduled in each week at our house, just like an appointment. Family comes first and with the hustle and bustle of all things entertainment, family functions, school activities and sporting events, important family bonding can quickly become obsolete. 3. On top of tossing all of our important schedules and appointments into the planner, we quickly found that it was still easy for us to get lost in our nightly routine. Something I found incredibly easy to do, was to break out the day in half-hour increments and plan out a “typical” day in our life. 4. 5.
