Maria Gracia Get Organized Now! ====================================================== Organizing Tidbits to Help You Organize Small Spaces ====================================================== It often is difficult to organize a space, but this challenge is multiplied by the confinements and limitations of a SMALL space. However, just because your space is challenging, it's still possible to be organized. Keep in mind though that it's imperative to use every inch of available space both efficiently and wisely. Many of these tidbits can be utilized in any space: 1. The 'ONE IN--ONE OUT' rule. This rule helps to set limits, which is often the hardest part for people to follow. It works well with items such as shoes, clothing, toys and books. In small spaces, the amount of stuff is often pre-determined by the amount of space. For any new item bought or received as a gift, one item must leave. This works especially well for children’s toys. 2. Find solutions that are both functional and attractive. For example, in your living room you need a solution for extra blankets and board games. What about using a storage ottoman that looks good and also serves as a great storage solution? Also consider hidden storage such as drawers in coffee or end tables or closed shelving solutions that allow you plenty of storage space but are visually appealing as well. 3. Be realistic with your space. A 10’ x 10’ room will feel bigger when it is filled with less stuff than a jam packed room. Remember, the scale of furniture will also affect the visual space in a room. The reality is that a 10’ x 10’ room is only that big--you cannot grow or change the size of a room. The space given is the constant. The amount of items within your space is the variable. 4. Purge excessive items often (both to be donated and trash). Keep small boxes in a closet that can be used to temporarily store items that need to be donated until you have enough to call a charity for a pickup. Be realistic. Do you really need 20 knick-knacks for your one shelf in your house or can they be scaled back to a collection of 10? Also limit and purge collections often so that it only includes your best and favorite items. ====================================================== Finally Organized, Finally Free -- for the HOME by Maria Gracia * HOT PRODUCT!

Set realistic limits: For instance, if you only have room for 15 hangers in your closet, do not buy extra hangers. Instead limit yourself to only those 15 hanging pieces of clothing. There are also special hangers that allow you to hang more than one item per hanger. 6. Be creative and resourceful. Recycle while finding solutions. For example, in a small kitchen, use a plastic dish drying tray to hold cookie sheets. Reuse old paint cans to organize office supplies. 7. Find the hidden space potential in your room. Plastic containers under the bed can store linens, shoes, out of season clothing or extra bedding. Is there space not being utilized behind a staircase? Can you add dividers to your closets, so there's not a huge expanse of empty space not being used? Hanging shoe holders can be used on the back of doors to organize much more than just shoes such as kitchen utensils, spices, or food. They can be used in the office to organize extra supplies or in the bathroom to organize toiletries and hair accessories. Use cork boards and pegs on the back of doors to organize jewelry such as necklaces. 8. Use wall and ceiling space. In the kitchen, you might use a hanging holder for pots and pans. In living and office spaces, use floor to ceiling shelves. Another example is magnetic spice racks that hang on the walls. In the garage, use a hanging rack for extra storage. Embrace the pluses of living in a small space and use its entirety to its full potential. You will feel like you are living in a large space! ====================================================== Finally Organized, Finally Free -- for the OFFICE * HOT PRODUCT!

There's no doubt that the world hasn't caught on to this concept yet. There's more paper than ever... bank statements, insurance paperwork, schedules, school-related reports, medical records, warranties-- and of course all the fun paper too, like memorabilia, articles, hobby-related stuff and more. This is not to mention all the email messages and computer documents that get printed and copied each day--even more paper! These papers start small, quickly turn into piles, and then grow into mountains. Sometimes, these mountains of paper get so high, that the thought of tackling them is just too overwhelming-- especially when you don't have a good filing system in place or much time to put one together. If you're sick and tired of the piles of paper taking over your home and your life and you just don't know where to start, I have a solution for you. The good news is, this solution will take no time at all, and the result will be stunning--a filing system that will allow you to dismantle those mountains and find whatever you're looking for in seconds.

I guarantee you'll be able to get all your paper organized, in an efficient, easy-as-pie to set up filing system that will be the envy of all your friends. ====================================================== An Organizing Tip From One of Our Readers ====================================================== I clip mittens, gloves, hats and scarves to a skirt hanger with clothespin-like clips. I keep one or two of these prepared in the coat closet. Everything is within reach when dressing for the rain or cold. PJ Burton Ohio PJ no longer has children at home, but still keeps those accessories clipped. Good for you, PJ! * * * * * Submit your favorite organizing tip!

But, when something really good comes along--something that I feel supplements my books and products beautifully, I'd feel I was doing you a disservice not to tell you about it. Mimi Tanner, the author of 'Declutter Fast' is actually a reformed pack rat. That's right...she has struggled with mountains of clutter for years. But today, she is free. She has discovered the joys of order and organization. She focuses on getting rid of clutter, and she does a wonderful job at it. Mimi makes decluttering your house both quick and pain free. I'm inspired by her excellent methods. I'm sure you will be too.

Then I came up with the idea to sew up the bottom and make a drawstring bag out of them for the boys to carry toys and treasures. They decorate and personalize them with permanent markers and are very special! Lauren Pearson Missouri Lauren has two school-age boys.

I always toss old food out in the compost, usually a few times a month, but this challenge brought my 'fridge routine' to a new level. It was fun knowing I was pulling apart and cleaning the entire unit with all your other email/blogsters. Thanks! --Mariann A couple of weeks ago, I had a taste for some cake and what should I come upon in my cupboard, but some frosting with a date of 2005! I couldn't believe it. Needless to say, I didn't end up with any cake. --Kecia in Riverside ---------- Week of January 30th Work on your hobby. I was able to enjoy some time crafting this week. I did 3 scrapbooking pages (went to the store and bought some new papers too). I also did 3 coats of paint on my acrylic painting (will hang in our bedroom when I am done). --Tina ====================================================== Discover How to Be Stylish-- No Matter What Your Size, Shape or Age ====================================================== Do you want to shine at social events?
