Seven years ago, The National Association of Professional Organizers declared January as Get Organized Month. NAPO chapters across the nation organize public events to inspire and educate people to better organize their lives.
This year NAPO-NNJ (Northern New Jersey) is hosting a free ‘Ask the Organizer’ panel at Restyle Renew, a clothing and furniture consignment shop in Denville, NJ on January 22, 2011 from 11:30am-2:30pm. NAPO-NNJ members will be on hand to teach how to de-clutter and organize a closet and address all organizing needs presented to them.
Win a 4 hour home closet organization session scheduled in April including a $500 gift certificate to California Closets.
So drop on by, get solutions to your organizing challenges, and make 2011 the year you ‘Get Organized!’

We all know about Spring Cleaning, but what about Winter Cleaning?
The Winter Cleaning I’m talking about has little to do with a dust rag and a mop. It has more to do with purging. Take a look around your home. Do you have a lot of ‘stuff’ you don’t know what to do with?
There are many people who are out of work or who are living on less this holiday season. Consider donating your unwanted items to local thrift stores or international charities. Those toys your children no longer play with make inexpensive holiday gifts when purchased from a thrift shop. The clothes that no longer fit you will keep someone warm, dressed for work, and feeling good about themselves.
So when you’re finished reading this blog post, think about what you can take to your local donation center. There’s no need to wait until Spring to do a thorough ‘clean-out.’
March 20th was the first day of Spring. Started Spring Cleaning yet?
Whether you have already started or you haven’t made that appointment with yourself yet (Basic Organizing Principle #1), here’s another way to make Spring Cleaning a less overwhelming task:
Basic Organizing Principle #2:
Break Large Tasks into Smaller Tasks
Let’s say you need to go through your chest of drawers and let’s say you have four drawers—one with underwear, one with socks, one with T-shirts and one with pajamas. Instead of taking a few hours to go through the chest of drawers, try going through one drawer at a time on different days of the week. You’ll be less tired from the task and the job will still get done.
Remember:
Any organizing task is doable if it is broken down into smaller and less time-consuming tasks.
