SALT LAKE HOME EDUCATORS

We had a great meeting about organization in March!  Charlotte McKenzie shared numerous tips and inspiring encouragement for getting organized, including:

*You don't have to throw away anything that you love, use, or want to keep.  There are plenty of things in our homes that we don't like, don't use, and don't really want that we can get rid of first. 

*Everything has to have a home.  If you can't find a place for it, you may have to consider getting rid of it.

*Organizing is about making decisions - deciding what things are important to your life and what you are going to eliminate to make room for the important things.

*Organizing takes time - schedule time to complete organization projects and to maintain your organized state once you've set it up.

*If you can plan it, you can do it!  This is really a combination of the two above points - make a plan, schedule the time, and you can get it done.

Charlotte has a fabulous blog that contains the information she shared with us and more - check it out at http://www.ornottokeep.blogspot.com/.
