and then there are the digital pics to sort… This Saturday, May 21st, has been designated by self-appointed end-times specialist Harold Camping as the date the world will end.

Those wall-mounted sorting baskets always look so smart in the catalogs, with promises of a tidy work area or kitchen center where permission slips and recipes would never be misplaced. This basket is even better than the usual two-compartment wall-mounted versions because it’s so flexible. It can be hung on the wall or inside a cabinet, or even left to stand on […]

When I look at the magazine spreads in January on Organizing for Good, Banishing Clutter, and How to Have the Best Year Yet, I feel a tremendous surge of hope that if only I would Sort, Purge, Assess, Containerize, and Equalize*, I would […]

To see it in the store, you’d think it’s like all the other accordion file coupon holders, but look closely: the files […]
It’s remarkable that I am sharing ways to extend the life of plastic cups given the fact that I spent the first years of married life slowly getting rid of my husband’s collection of stadium cups. Of course I once had cups left over from college, but somehow I was not as personally attached to mine and experienced less pain when it was […]
