Do you ever wonder what we do on these calls? Think of it as a large conference call. People from all over call in and listen to me as I teach a little, but the best part is you get to ask questions or share success stories.

You do not have to talk if you don't want to. And you can't do it wrong, all you have to do is to call in and listen to the helpful tips, great ideas and lots of inspiration. I hope you'll join us on the 18th.

Avoid Over Organizing

You might not think over organizing would be a problem, after all can you ever be too organized?

The problem is not that you'll be too organized but that you'll spend way too much time organizing one area thereby neglecting another area.

When we over organize we:

spend too much time thinking about a system
over think the how to
endlessly research the options
try to prefect the system
spend time on the itty bitty details
fix and re-fix the space when it was just fine

So this week for the Clutter Challenge, try working on a space until it works, then walk away and spend the rest of the week trying the system. If it needs tweaking go right ahead. But most times good works just fine and we waste that last 10% of our time and energy working on something that was just fine at 90%.

So stop over organizing and just organize something!

Until next Monday have a clutter-free week, Jamie

PS I sure hope you can join me this Wed. for the call. It is a daytime call for those of you who can take a lunch break and call in. "See" you then!

June's But it does mean I get to share a fabulous and FREE resource with you. Remember the Milk is one of my new favorite sites.

You can map out your errands to save you time and gas. You can create lists (for those of us who are list lovers) and you can even get alerts when items are added to your list. Imagine being in the grocery store and your phone lets you know someone at home just ate the last apple, you can grab more without missing a beat.

There is so much you can do once you register for FREE with Remember the Milk. Start with one of their helpful ideas and then try a few more. I bet you'll get hooked (and you'll never forget the milk again!)
