The Story Of Stuff: timely and fascinating video about, well, stuff
I came across this video “The Story Of Stuff” on twitter (thanks @organizergal), and thought it was just terrific. I often talk to people (whether they want to or not) about how much stuff there is in the world, in their homes and in their lives. Most of my job is helping people either get […]
bins can hide a multitude of sins…
I was having a really nice conversation with Chad Hunter today about professional organizing (he’s a graphic designer but wants to know more about my field – which I can totally understand because everyone does). During our chat, I used the phrase “bins can hide a multitude of sins.” I love the way this flows. […]

Interesting follow up to my FedEx/Kinko’s story! Sean Carroll, the manager, saw my blog post and gave me a call. Wanted to apologize but that wasn’t really the point.

being organized is a good thing… but sometimes you can have too much of a good thing!
I’m a very organized person – just ask anyone who knows me. It’s in my blood, I guess. I’m always straightening, labeling, putting things in bins, etc. But sometimes, I just get out of control – I mean it – hold me back . . . When I got my new laptop, it had Vista. […]
www.goodreads.com: great site for book lovers
A friend recently referred me to www.goodreads.com and I’m loving it. It’s a site where you can post books you’ve read, want to read or are reading. You can also rate them, write reviews, and see what others are reading and saying about books you are interested in. My biggest problem has always been […]
How Not To Fail On Twitter: great info from Social Media 101!
Thanks to Julie Roads on Twitter (@writingroads), and Ron Miller (@Ron_Miller), here’s some tips on twitter. I know twitter has been a hot topic here on the Rain and, while I happen to love it, I know it’s not for everyone. Many of the comments I hear have to do with questions of what to […]
Huggable Hangers AND tips on an organized closet
I recently was sent some samples of Huggable Hangers . I wasn’t sure about these at first because I was concerned that they would be flimsy or look cheap, being that they are “flocked”. Flocked is a word that has always cracked me up in a mocking sort of way BUT I was very pleasantly […]
