How I Organize My Home, Confessions of a Professional Organizer
August 5, 2009 by JoelC2009
I think a lot of people are curious about how a professional organizer lives. I believe they think professional organizers must have a perfect house all the time. Well, I must confess, I do love it when everything is in its place in my home. It gives me a great sense of peace, calm and comfort. I must also confess, I live in a real home with a real family and it’s not perfect. I don’t have custom closets, I don’t have a housekeeper and, oh yes, sometimes I even leave clothes on the bathroom floor when I’m in a hurry!
How I organize my home is not based on keeping it perfect 24/7, that’s not realistic. How I organize my home is based on having a place for everything and by keeping belongings from taking over. If you ask me where a piece of paper is, I will have my fingers on it in an instant. If you ask me to find my holiday letters from the last 10 years, I will have them for you in an instant.
So let’s start with having a place for everything. It’s all about giving items a home to contain them and to make it easy to know where to retrieve items as well as where to put them back. I add a label wherever I can; I love labels! When you give belongings a ‘home’ it’s easy to find what you need when you need it and it’s easy to clean up after getting something out.
As far as belongings go, I don’t necessarily follow the ‘one in, one out’ rule, but I am very careful to keep a balance in our home by letting go of items we are done with so we have room to add something new, whether that be clothing, toys, books or anything else. When you don’t have overabundance, it’s easier to keep up with decluttering.
How I organize my home keeps my household running smoothly and I never have to stress about finding anything I need!
This would be very useful for someone who is unable to do their housework. For example, someone who is disable. If their assistance is abused, then yes, the future does look lazy. And knowing this society if we had robots then we’d be screwed. There’s too many people who look for a handout and don’t want to take action for their responsibilities.

I know everyone deals with any given situation differently, but Les wasn't screwed up in Viet Nam. Since Lisa was so at-peace with her death, I doubt she would be very happy to know that he's been screwed up about it for 10 years. And Les is going through the whole story like this is an initial visit to a counselor. Seems like either it took him 10 years to finally seek counseling (which I don't think anyone would say was a great idea) or his last counselor took early retirement or jumped off a bridge. After all, even the pro's have their limits to how much misery they can take.
Just was married a year ago as of the 27th of this month. After that wedding I will wait 10 more years lol
