I recently got an email from a reader asking for specific advise on “corralling” all the paper we ALL have to deal with in our lives.

I’ll do a smaller declutter/organizing “go at it” in late summer/early fall. One big “go through” in the first month or two of each year then a smaller “go through” mid-year.

I love planning (even if loosely) what the New Year will be. What will get done when (again, even if loosely). I love a fresh start. A new beginning!

Read MoreFor years I kept all of my jewelry neatly tucked away in dresser drawers. Every piece had its own special place. I knew exactly where everything was. Organized within an inch of their lives! Good jewelry in this drawer, costume jewelry in the that drawer. Organized by the style of the jewelry too. Casual, fancy, real, fake, etc, etc.
