I just found the most amazing product for moving.  ZippGo offers reusable, easy to pack and stack boxes to replace cardboard ones for your next move.  They will deliever them to your Bay Area home and pick them up at your new one.  Brilliant!  Bye bye cardboard!

I found a GREAT new organizing invention.  Cable Buddy – The Ultimate Cable Organizer.

These things are seriously easy, and at $6.95 for 5, are a steal!  Check out the photos on their website.

After a brief absence, I rediscovered www.zenhabits.net.  Such a great blog!  Leo never fails to disappoint and I can’t wait to get caught up.  If you’re looking at a total lifestyle simplification, he has brilliant nuggets of advice.

Method Disinfectant Spray

This is my new favorite bathroom (and anywhere) cleaner! I was mixing my own water/vinegar mix as a disinfectant, but the thymol in this new Method product is touted to be much more effective (and it smells better!).

I know many people start off the New Year saying “This is it! This will be the one! I WILL get organized”. I also know that by the first of February, most people have let their goals fall by the wayside.

What are you missing out on by letting go of your organizing goals? Or maybe what are you adding to your life? Frustration? Embarrassment? I recently (Feb 1) began a quest towards cardiovascular fitness and I understand how much easier it is to just keep the status quo. I’m sore, I don’t want to do yoga or jog right now. Yesterday’s class worked me over. But, in the end, it’s worth it to finally commit to making a positive change. I know I will be thankful a month from now that I am no longer winded when I climb stairs. I know you will be thankful, a month from now, when you have guests over for dinner and it’s not preceded by a mad dash to hide the overflowing mail, the unpaid bills, the kids’ toys, and everything else that just doesn’t seem to stay in it’s place.

I look forward to joining you on your journey to organization this year.

Something to think about:
What is the most important reason (to you!) to get organized? What do you hope to gain?
