Heads up – I added a new poll to the sidebar (look to your right and scroll down below the archives). Go ahead and vote, or add your own answer. Tell me what you’re interested in cleaning and organizing most in the upcoming year.
If I know what you’re most interested in, I can post more often on those topics.
OR if you have some oddball poll aversion, feel free to leave a comment – I can use those to plan the year as well. Later, I’ll post my own decluttering and organizing goals.

Well, it’s November decluttering crew. (Year. Whizzing. By.)
Here’s what’s coming up at Declutter It this November…

Hey all. I’m moving to a new house as of today. Because of an Internet lag I won’t be around for a few days. So if you leave a comment or have a question, I won’t be able to respond until the 2nd or 3rd of September. If you leave a comment and it doesn’t show up, that likely means you’re just not approved, but I’ll get your comment up once I get my Internet service up and running.
Maybe once I get back I’ll do a little series about how to move fast, or why NOT to move on the …read more

Happy May!
 

 
First off, you know, I promised to do a round up of all the office spaces in the Lifestyles Channel, and just realized that I never did. Geez – look at me all unorganized. In any case, I posted my office space a few days ago, and if you’d like to see where other bloggers blog click here. There are some great office examples – I suggest checking it out.
Coming up in May…

First of all, sorry about the lack of posts. The mixture of end of the month projects, new developments here at this blog,  and a son with newly developed allergies has affected the end of my month. No worries though, new posts (including the sibling follow up posts) are coming asap.
We’re having a major change here. Julie has decided to pursue other opportunities, and due to time constraints, she’s not going to be blogging here anymore. She’s been offering up stellar organizing advice for a good long while here, and she’ll be missed.
The good news is that Julie’s not vanishing …read more

I was thinking today about how I can organize my organizing blog.
As I was poking around at some other fellow bloggers’ blogs, I noticed that a lot of them have a theme for the day. That’s when I had my “Aha!” moment. Declutter It! needs a schedule.
This will help keep me and my blog on the right path and also hopefully help out you, my lovely and loyal readers.
So this is what I came up with:
Motivate Me Mondays – Every Monday I will issue you a challenge. Either to go through one drawer in your house and purge …read more
