Creatively Conquering Chaos: Facing the post-holiday clutter
http://c3organizer.blogspot.com/2011/12/facing-post-holiday-clutter.html
Thursday, December 29, 2011. Facing the post-holiday clutter. The holidays are over. What a rush of concerts, programs, shopping, eating, celebrating, loving and living! I can hardly believe that I haven't even thought about writing a blog entry during all of this hubbub. But now.oh, but now. the post-holiday clutter has come to my home. As I sit happily drinking coffee (from my brand new Keurig coffee maker! Thank you, wonderful husband and children! BUT, oh no! Or, as my dear son would say, oh noes!

Creatively Conquering Chaos: February 2012
http://c3organizer.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 27, 2012. My husband and I have some strange hobbies. A new one we've picked up this year is using homemade cleaners. I'm not sure why we've adopted this, except perhaps we've grown tired of paying huge prices for laundry soap and bathroom cleaners. Here is a recipe I chanced to come across at http:/ www.onegoodthingbyjillee.com. Powdered Dishwasher Detergent/Scouring Powder:. 1 cup Washing soda. 1/4 cup Kosher salt (reduces the effects of hard water). You may have to experiment a little...

Creatively Conquering Chaos: Facing the kitchen clutter
http://c3organizer.blogspot.com/2011/11/facing-kitchen-clutter.html
Wednesday, November 23, 2011. Facing the kitchen clutter. A number of weeks ago, I faced my kitchen clutter head-on. My kitchen is small, so I have always felt like I've had an excuse for why the counters get so cluttered. If I had a larger kitchen, I reasoned, then I would have a much easier time keeping them clear. This is faulty logic. Clutter is clutter, and it will follow me all the days of my life! I analyzed my need for my beautiful, large KitchenAid drainer. Yes, I do wash a lot of dishes by ...

Creatively Conquering Chaos: January 2012
http://c3organizer.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 14, 2012. I swore that I'd never have a junk drawer at my house. Truth be known, there is no such drawer in my kitchen. Each drawer in the kitchen. Has an assigned purpose and assigned belongings. Yet, there are drawers in our sideboard in the dining room, and those drawers tend to fill the role that our old kitchen junk drawer filled. Today, those drawers are under attack! The compartment in the back has seldom used items. Then I took a couple of sticky notes and made temporary labels ...

Creatively Conquering Chaos: Having an Organized Thanksgiving
http://c3organizer.blogspot.com/2011/11/having-organized-thanksgiving.html
Saturday, November 19, 2011. Having an Organized Thanksgiving. I love to host Thanksgiving! I love preparing the meal and anticipating everyone coming to my home. I love the way my home smells and feels when the big day arrives. I love greeting people and making them as comfortable as possible. By this time, I have my turkey in the freezer and my pantry stocked with all the staples that I need. I will have some other shopping to do, but it should be minimal. Today I need to do these things:. Do on Saturd...

Creatively Conquering Chaos: Finding oneself in an overly busy week
http://c3organizer.blogspot.com/2011/11/finding-oneself-in-overly-busy-week.html
Sunday, November 13, 2011. Finding oneself in an overly busy week. It's been a week since I last posted and as I mused on this fact, I realized that my week was unusually busy. Some of my time was spent simply catching up on required tasks at work and at home. But, some of it was also related to conquering chaos. Here are a few tips for the not-so-naturally organized when there isn't enough time. To conquer an entire room at once. Combining a physical task and a mental task make it easier to multi-task.

Creatively Conquering Chaos: October 2011
http://c3organizer.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 31, 2011. The best of intentions. My piling system - how did it work for all of you? It worked imperfectly for me. Part of the issue is having enough dedicated. Time to work on something until it is finished. Is that how it is for you? So, I had a good start, but then a little something called "life" took over. I guess that's why getting and staying organized is so challenging for me - for us. Now, back to the paper chaos. I was cleaning off my desk. What were you working on? There's the ...
