Are you ready to get organized?

My husband and I recently cleaned out our garage.  We moved in to our house five years ago and had moved so many times in the years prior to that, we just put anything we didn’t need in the garage and told ourselves we had the rest of our lives to deal with it. I am so glad, though, that we finally tackled this project last month, just in time to get the car into the garage before the first winter frost.

Going through old stuff and sorting into keep, give away, recycle and throw-away piles made me wish I had been more organized when I first packed everything. It would have taken much less time to do the final sweep. However, I’m just not that kind of person. I tend to keep things well past their useful lifespan, including the email that piles up in my inbox!

I probably shouldn’t admit that, since our entire jobs are focused on productivity – and, specifically – helping our customers, like you, be more productive. I’m betting, though, that there are more people like me out there than there are people whose lives are well-kept and neatly organized.

So, if you’re not organized, but are hoping to find a way to clean up a few things, we have a wonderful Template Collection just for that purpose.

How do you stay organized? I’d love to hear your tips.

  In my household staying organized is hard to do. Being there is a husband, a 9 yr old, 5 yr old, and a 2 yr old. Thats where my battle begins. If you have some helpful tips please do share.
