One of the many reasons why I love being an Organizer is that I can show my clients simple to use strategies to organize their lives. The Outside In Organizer and Makeovers approach looks at what is behind (or under) the problem.
- Not enough space? Eliminate clutter. Contain smaller items. Store items near the place they’re used.
- Not enough time? Audit your schedule for a full week. Look at how you spend your time. What can be eliminated? Shared? Delegated?
- Nothing to wear? Take everything out of your closet. Donate items that you haven’t worn in a year or more. Reorganize your closet by grouping your clothes in outfits rather than categories.
