Organize Your Stuff, Reduce Your Stress

If you're anything like me, you begin the new year with the best of intentions. As we're already well into the new year, I'm wondering, how are those New Year's resolutions going? I stopped making official New Year's resolutions a long time ago. There are just too many expectations left unfulfilled and too much pressure. That being said, I'm always striving to eat better, work out more and cut down the clutter. Speaking of clutter, wouldn't it be great to finally get our stuff organized?

February is a great time to buckle down and work on organizing projects. It's still dark and cold outside, yet I promise spring is around the corner. And let's not forget tax season is also in full-swing. Are you prepared?

Veteran professional organizer Julie Morgenstern has spent years honing the principles of organization into a simple universal system. Her book Organizing From the Inside Out tailors to each individual's needs and ensures, once and for all, a system that won't break down.

Or maybe you feel like you need more time to get organized? One Year to An Organized Life offers a week-by-week approach that you can begin at any time of the year.

Getting more organized can reduce your stress and simplify your life. The Life-changing Magic of Tidying up from Japanese organizational consultant Marie Kondo takes organizing to a whole new level. Her approach promises that if you properly declutter your home once, you’ll never have to do it again. Now wouldn't that be lovely?
