Speaking of simplicity, I'm the most disorganized person on earth. I've read every organizing book on the market. I've even considered writing one myself with a new twist, but while I'm thinking about it, someone else writes it.
I do occasionally stumble upon something that works for me. I hate carrying a purse. Furthermore, my purse always looks like the inside of my car which looks like it just drove through a tornado. Two years ago I got rid of the purse and bought a wallet on a string. It carries just the essentials: driver's license, credit/debit cards, money, etc. It worked like a miracle for me. So what do I do next, I see this really pretty red purse recently and decide I have to have it. Guess what! My purse looks like the inside of the car again so it's back to the wallet on a string. The thing I really like about it is the strap goes over my head, on my shoulder and across my body. I'm not even aware I'm carrying it.
I would love to hear any tips that have really worked for you. They might work for me also.

My purse is chock full of junk too. Best advise is to just empty it once per week and refill it with the bare essentials. Also lots of compartments helps.
ReplyDeleteFunny to come across a blog on organizing today. My principal told us today to start purging anything we haven't used in 5 years because she wants our school to look freshened up a little. I had a FIELD day throwing things out that were there before I was hired but was always afraid to throw out. What a great feeling it is to let go of junk taking up space :D
