My kitchen counter is my biggest challenge. It is always piled high with paper clutter and things that need to go “somewhere else”.

I’m in. I need to organize. I get depressed when my house is a wreck.

I’M IN! We just moved to a different state and got rid of a lot of stuff before we moved to make it easier (and cheaper!), but it still seems like there’s more to go through and more stuff to get rid of! It IS easier to keep the house cleaner with less stuff (even with 3 little boys in the house and homeschooling!)

Oh my.. this topic is so close to my heart. I have three sweet boys that bring home piles of paper daily, along with all the other “things” that seem to pile up on my counters! I will definitely be implementing this and hoping to start the New Year out organized! Thank you!!

Oh my. Maybe I can get my act together in 2012 since I missed it in 2010 and 2011. What a great, timely (lol) post for me. Thank you…I’m going to find some boxes. I may need to be rescued, though.

I was truly blessed by this. I used to be a very tidy person but illness, Lyme’s disease, has zapped all my energy and some of my mental capacities. I have lots of “not now” piles and they overwhelm me. Thank you for a simple but effective way to declutter. I think I need to do this in the third person…detach myself from the object and just give it a new home. Praying you have a blessed New Year!!

I read your organizing book this summer and followed along on the facebook sessions, but of course I haven’t implemented everything yet. I still have baskets and boxes and trunks of pictures and then all the digital pics that are still in the computer.

It’s hard to organize my husband’s desk bc I don’t know what all those little scraps of papers with numbers on them are for (important? does he even know?). I am gonna get my office in shape in January for sure! So many computer discs, electronic stuff, old magazines, pamphlets from the rest stops of interesting things to do, church notes, owners manuals. AND I’M ACTUALLY THE MOST ORGANIZED PERSON I KNOW! I’m just too sentimental about some things.

I did throw out most of the kids’ school papers from this school year already. Only kept a few cool stories/artwork for each of them, and I may actually scan those and save them on the computer like I did for last years school papers. I figured that I don’t have any of the papers from when I was in school and I turned out ok. Why do I think I need all this stuff?????

Great ideas! Thank you for the inspiration. I especially love the “nostalgia” box idea.
