It’s of no surprise that women tend to have a greater responsibility when it comes to domestic chores. Some of you may be lucky enough to have a husband (partner, significant other) or children to help with the load. And for those people I give you a heartfelt “yay for you!”. With my husband […]

A funny episode of How I Met Your Mother saw one of the characters, Barney, refusing to allow any of his belongings to be thrown out when his new girlfriend, Quinn, moves in with him. Yet Quinn throws away most of her things so that they didn’t have doubles of everything. Barney was challenged […]
Wikipedia quotes that Learning style is an individual’s natural or habitual pattern of acquiring and processing information in learning situations. One of the most common categorizations of learning styles is Neil Fleming’s VARK/VAK model, which includes: Visual learners Auditory learners Reading-writing preference learners Kinesthetic or tactile learners. We cover a lot of different styles of […]
You know what I’m talking about, right! That third drawer down in your kitchen. The one treasure chest that holds an array of items that are mismatched, clunky, chunky or just simply a homeless, miscellaneous floater. My third drawer down currently houses: Local take-away menus Tea towels Elastic bands (off the local paper delivery) Balloons […]

After a couple of early starts last week decided to wise up and get organized. I started to plan out my fast, no-fuss breakfast menu, to help keep time on my side. You see, I love to snooze. I know I may be running against the clock later, but my subconscious encourages me to enjoy […]

When my little one fell over this week and took some skin off, I headed straight to the medicine cupboard. Naturally. Not that long ago, I sent some time sorting and organizing this cupboard, so feeling rather confident, I told my son, ‘don’t worry, Mommy has just the thing for that!’. But I didn’t. Oh my, […]

You know what I’m talking about! The screeching halt that overcomes you once you find something ‘loved and lost’ while trying to declutter. For me, it’s photographs. I can’t help myself. I get swept away in memories and then, before I know it, waaaay too much time has passed and my declutter task remains unfinished. […]

Recently, a Get Organized Wizard subscriber requested our help. She was coping well with new challenges and tasks she was facing in her everyday life. But she had a deep, dark secret. A room full of clutter backlog she couldn’t face. Dunt, dunt, duuunt! Does that sounds familiar? Sometimes it’s a drawer that hides receipts, […]

Watching my friends Mom jump on board the Candy Crush craze initially had me shaking my head in wonder. Why was this intelligent lady choosing to play an online game instead of being outdoors, reading a book or cooking up a storm? It was most unlike her. But as she successfully made her way up […]

It’s summer here in Australia, which means that for most us, January is prime-time to take a break. Some families go camping. Others take a flight to a spectacular destination. My little family does an annual road trip. We travel over 1,000kms (or 621 miles), each way. The trip usually involves a beach holiday vacation, […]

Do you set goals each year? Make New Year’s resolutions? I generally set goals for the year, but I’m open to things changing, priorities shifting. I’m happy to switch direction as unexpected ideas and opportunities unfold. Maybe this is denial-speak for the fact that I let myself get distracted. Regardless, I do like to start […]

My faves are: See the world – with the magic of the internet Don’t spend too much time wearing pants Take every disappointment as a reason to give up Something, something saving money […]
This little insight can save us a buttload of pain. When we get snarky customer service, when someone is mean or nasty, when we cannot seem to please that relative or friend. We don’t have to take it personally and feel rejected. But nor should we get all het up thinking they’re an awful human […]

Let’s be willing to do more of what makes us happy. Let’s focus on getting important things done, instead of needing everything to be perfect. Let’s leave unimportant […]
