Why is being disorganized still so taboo? Your house gets dirty, you clean it. You get busy, or you just don’t want to do it, so you hire someone to do it for you. So why do people think that they can leave a disorganized space and get to it later? Just like a dirty house, if you leave it, it just gets dirtier.

Thinking of getting that one space that has gotten out of control with clutter organized, and the chaos gone? This is an exciting feeling. There are a lot of good resources to help you learn how to declutter. Whether you are decluttering your home or office the process can be very similar.

Some of us spend hours in our office and others have a job that takes them outside of their office for most of the day. Whether your office is in your home or in an office building we do have to spend time there.

I just wanted to share a few tips to think about when bringing out your holiday decorations or when putting them away this year.
