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.

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.

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.

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, […]
