BOOKS

If you have struggled with "stuff" for most of your life, this book is a great resource. It is workbook style, so you can put into practice the organizing principles discussed.

This is an awesome resource for folks who have tried and tried to get organized, with little or no success. Judith Kolberg has worked with chronically disorganized folks for many, many years. The tips and techniques she offers are fresh, insightful and quite inventive.

Love the way this book is organized and walks through each area of a person's home and life. Try this book if you have a specific project in mind (maybe your home office, your bedroom, or your kid's room). Julie Morgenstern breaks the project down into manageable steps, offers resources and supplies you may need, and provides a time frame for the project.

If you are a visual person and need to see different ideas, this is a great resource. Martha Stewart always has creative ways to organize, yet still be ascetically pleasing.

MUST HAVES

Storage bins and shelving; calendars and PDAs; files, hooks, and boxes. Oh my!

There are an infinite number of supplies and tools available. So, which ones are the 'must haves'? Here are my favorites.

Time Management No matter what you do in life, you need a tool to keep track of your activities. Pick a time management tool that will allow you to schedule or "block" activities in half hour intervals.

Check out the Planner Pad - a new twist for those who have piles of To Do Lists.

Action Area Create an Action Area for your paperwork you still need to work on, or papers that you need to keep close at hand. This Fridge File magnetically attaches to your fridge, keeping paperwork off the counter, yet easy to get to.

Storage Containers

Store items in clear containers that are uniform in size and shape (so they stack easily). Containers that have sides that go straight up stack better than containers with a flared side.

Labels

If your labels keep falling off your bins and totes, try these labels. They stick - even through cold, heat, and humidity. And, if the contents of your bins change, you can easily replace the label inside.
