April - A Monthlong Focus on "The Big O"




So, there are multiple books about it – many are lined up neatly in my home office… 

We are inundated with articles on it in the supermarket checkout….

If our friends really knew how we struggled with it at times, we’d be embarrassed…

We need it badly – year round, but especially, around holidays, tax time, while traveling, when family visits, when the kids are little, when they are away at college, etc.  (Basically, any day that ends in a Y)

We need it almost everywhere…in the kitchen, under the bathroom sink, in  the trunk of the car, the garage, the basement, our kids’ rooms, our office, and especially in closets where we can hide a multitude of sins …

The need for it has become overwhelmingly apparent – yet so many of us fall short and our lives are seemingly more stressful than necessary as a result…

Some people come to me for coaching on this topic – and yes, it’s true that I’ve got a few little tricks that work for me.  (In the spirit of full disclosure, I must admit there are places and times that I struggle too.)

My objective is to thoroughly clean/organize my entire house this month!   Daily, my hope is to complete at least one project, some will be small.  (And the added accountability will be an incentive.)  Organization is critical to my goal of “living simply”.  Care to join me in the pursuit of the Ultimate O?  I’ll share my tips – please share yours!

The Ultimate or Big O?  Surely, you didn’t think I meant Oprah?  (No, I shared thoughts on her a few months ago):


 So Yes! April is all about the Ultimate in Organization!  (for me anyway)

    1. How is your organization initiative going? With Easter and with "life" - the coupons took me longer than hoped, but well worth it - and ridded myself of a lot of "paper/coupon clutter" in the meantime! (Son's closet - TONIGHT!)
