It's so funny that when you are an organizer you naturally come up with a system for everything. This time I came up with a system for organizing our Christmas presents. I'm not talking about the lists I have for each person I'm shopping for or the Wunderlist I've created for store by store shopping.

I have some new clients that I am pretty darn excited about. We are new friends and have known each other for about a year. But this is first time that we have worked on any organizing together.

Tap, Tap, Tappity Tap, Tap, Tap, Tappity Tap, Tap, Tap, Tappity Tap That's all that could be heard at my house for the past hour. I hosted an online question and answer session for locals interested in organizing. They posted questions about and pictures of problem areas. I encouraged them to post the things that are stumping them in their organizing process. I then offered them different solutions for how to choose the right storage containers and ways to think ...continue reading
