Collections become clutter as soon as they outgrow our systems of organization, the space allotted to them, or our capacity to enjoy them. It takes a careful, thoughtful approach to store and display collections and to recognize when it's time to cut back. In episode #259 of The Clutter Fairy Weekly, Gayle Goddard, professional organizer and owner of The Clutter Fairy in Houston, Texas, discusses collections—how they accumulate, why they get out of control, and what you can do to rein them in when the need arises.Show notes: https://cfhou.com/tcfw259The Clutter Fairy Weekly is a live webcast and podcast designed to help you clear your clutter and make space in your home and your life for more of what you love.

How much of your life is cluttered with things that distract from your true priorities?Today Art speaks with professional organizer Angie Hyche. Angie reveals her five-year struggle with fear before finally pursuing her calling as a certified pro organizer. Her story begins in a theater prop room where she discovered her obsession with bringing order to chaos. Yet fear kept her in a safe school job until a bike trail conversation with her husband changed everything. "There are thousands of people less intelligent than you starting businesses," he said. That moment of courage launched not just a business, but a complete transformation of character.Angie's wisdom goes far beyond physical organizing. She courageously admits to avoiding God through busyness and mental clutter. "I can have a full schedule and be promoting my business, yet I'm not taking time to spend with God," she confesses. Her definition of clutter as "anything that distracts from priorities" revolutionizes how we view our stuff, schedules, and spiritual lives. What would change if you stopped avoiding the "horrible alone" and pushed past fear to discover what's calling you?Angie Hyche is an author, speaker, podcaster, and retired certified professional organizer (CPO®) who helps people overwhelmed with clutter in their homes, schedules, or minds. She spent 7+ years working in client homes, believing only by eliminating what doesn't matter can we prioritize what does. Her books include "Unholy Mess: What the Bible Says about Clutter" and "Uncluttered: Shaping Your Heart & Home for What Matters Most" with co-author Liana George. Living in East Tennessee with husband Eric, Angie's goal is helping people declutter their lives to focus on what's most important.About The Show: The Life in Transition, hosted by Art Blanchford focuses on making the most of the changes we're given every week.

Figuring out how to make laundry less overwhelming can feel so overwhelming, but you're not alone! Check out these 5 Fresh Tips to help make your laundry overwhelm less overwhelming with professional organizer Lindsey Mahanna.You can learn more about Lindsey Mahanna on her Fresh Starts Profile.5 Fresh Tips to help you be less overwhelmed with laundry:Figure out the best cadence for your family. One load per day or a marathon session over the weekend? I like the one-load-per-day approach. Throw it in before work, move it to the dryer later in the day, and fold it later that evening or the next morning - whenever you have the most energy.Try laying flat instead of folding. Trying to keep wrinkles at bay, but don't have time to fold? My husband brought this laundry trick to the relationship and it's a keeper. When those t-shirts come out of the dryer still hot, lay them flat on a surface and pile them up on top of one another. This will keep the wrinkles out until you have time to fold them. Just be careful because cats are drawn to a pile of warm clothes.Wash each person's clothes separately. The old guidance was that clothes must be sorted into lights and darks before washing. This guidance can be ignored, except for brand-new dye-heavy clothes (those should still be washed separately at first). Since you don't need to sort by color, I recommend washing each family member's clothes separately - especially children's. This makes it so much easier to keep track of whose clothes are whose. This also works well with tip #4…Get Kids Involved. Start when they are little by having them turn their clothes right side out. Then, as they get older, add in folding their clothes. Eventually teach them how to work the washing machine and dryer. Tips for kids with ADHD: Kids with ADHD like to know what is expected of them. So, try to have their laundry day be the same day every week. In my house, kids' clothes are washed on Fridays or Saturdays so that they can help with it while off from school and so that they can “fold” it in front of the TV. Also, review what really needs to be folded. Laundry is one of the most dreaded tasks for people with ADHD. I see it across all of my clientele. This is when it's helpful to change the expectations a bit. For my son who lives mostly in athletic gear, I only ask him to fold his t-shirts and match up his socks. Everything else can be tossed in the drawers. Does his folding look anything like mine? No, but as long as he's comfortable wearing those clothes, that's fine with me.Change your expectations for family members with ADHD, even the adults. People with ADHD really struggle with putting clothes away. So...Don't! Leave them in the basket. However, you will need to set up a system to make sure you know which clothes are clean and which aren't, especially since clothes may not always get folded. I recommend keeping clean clothes in laundry baskets and keeping dirty clothes in hampers. Bonus Tip: If you are really behind in laundry - outsource it! If money is tight, dropping it at a laundromat is cheaper than door-to-door service. Also, you could always choose to outsource some and not all of your laundry.

Happy 7th Birthday to the Sunday Basket®, let's all break out in song. Just kidding…I am so excited to tell you the Paper Organization Certification course is 20% off till April 1st. Once you have finished the certification and get your license, you can charge for your services and receive 30% commission on products you sell.   Once upon a time I was a very frustrated mama. Joey was only 6 months old and Abby was 2. Lil Joey didn't like to nap very long and I had a pile of actionable papers but no time to go through them much less accomplish anything. One night the Sunday Basket® was born. I knew the more planned, organized, and efficient with my time I could multiply the amount of tasks I could conquer. Links below to hear the evolution of the Sunday Basket®. Once the Sunday Basket® took off and people were implementing it in their lives they were longing for more training. So I started to offer workshops. But I knew in my heart of hearts that with the growth of my company, there would not be enough Lisa one day. That's when the opportunity to become a certified paper organizer started to be offered.  Some people can DIY it and implement it successfully. Some people, like me, prefer 1:1 explanations and don't mind paying for the speed of implementation. And yet others want to be tricked into it with a little get together, snacks, music, and friends. I used to be a part of Creative Memories, a scrapbooking company. I loved our monthly Friday night workshops and envisioned the certified organizers taking a playbook from Creative Memories. We had such rich connections and were really doing life with each other. And with simply learning to ask “Can this wait till Sunday?” you have a safe place to hold all your actionable papers till Sunday and externalize all the things you want to do.  When people come to the paper organizing retreats that are just one day mind you, they walk away with friends. It is a non-judgmental space. It's a safe place to ask questions about the paper you have with you.  Lots of times another attendee has organized the type of  paper in question. And it's through those conversations that friendships are developed.  Depending on the stage of life you are in, it can be really hard to make friends. I think of how my mom and myself have made friends over the years. I have never really been in the phase of life to plan or attend girls nights out. Those Creative Memory workshops were that for me. And the Paper Organizing Retreat or the other in person event may be that for you. 50% of the people attending are usually settling an estate which can be isolating and lonely and sometimes it's their spouses. You can't make friends in the walls of your homes. 5 years after COVID, it's time to get back to in person events. People are in need of people more than ever right now. And it's us, the people and community of Organize 365® that makes it so unique. So if you are interested, you have the heart of a teacher or a friend, and you want to become a Certified Paper Organizer now is your time!!  You will be certified in the Sunday Basket®, and the Financial, Medical, Household Reference, and Household Operation Binders. Once you are certified, you can even add on certifications like The Friday Workbox®, Teacher Workbox, and The Productive Home solution. We need more certified paper organizers! If you want to take it a step further, become a professional organizer; we have a course for that too called POTT START, check it out. If you just need to talk it out or ask more questions please reach out to customer service at customerservice@organize365.com.   EPISODE RESOURCES: The Paper Solution Certification POTT Start for Professional Organizer Certification 521-Lisa's Organization Story 2002 522-Lisa's Organization Story 2007 523-Lisa's Organization Story 2012 524-Lisa's Organization Story 2017 525-Lisa's Organization Story 2022 Sign Up for the Organize 365® Newsletter   Did you enjoy this episode?

“Clutter is not just the stuff on your floor – it's anything that stands between you and the life you want to be living.” ~ Peter Walsh, Professional Organizer Guest Introduction:  Welcome to Exploring the Seasons of Life: Travel Edition. I'm Cindy MacMillan, your host and the owner of Pangea World Travel Agency, a boutique agency located on the Space Coast of Florida. Today, we're diving into the art of organization with a professional organizer. If you've ever felt overwhelmed trying to get your home or office in order before a trip, you're in the right place. This episode is all about simple, realistic steps to streamline your packing, manage travel documents, and tackle those ever-growing pre-trip to-do lists. From personal essentials to business priorities, you'll come away with actionable tips to help you feel prepared, focused, and stress-free for your next journey. I'm delighted to introduce Adele LaPointe, whose thoughtful approach to organization transforms even the most daunting tasks into achievable goals. Let's dive in! Adele is a  Professional Organizer and Author. Her business Chaos to Clarity has been teaching overwhelmed people to create organized systems that help them see clarity in their lives for 20 years. Adele is still very passionate about helping people because she has personally seen how being organized can be life-changing.  She likes to share that she was her first client.  Having gone through many different challenges she knows how life's situations can create chaos in our lives.  With experience, creativity and a non-judgmental approach Adele loves the challenge of creating systems and environments that work for her clients in their homes and offices. In Adele's book, Get Organized for Life 7 Steps to Take You From Chaos to C.L.A.R.I.T.Y, she teaches her process on how she assesses her clients' situations and comes up with effective solutions.  Here's a glimpse of our conversation:  Welcome to the podcast Adele. 2:48 I like lists because they help clear my mind—they're a simple way to "dump" everything onto paper (or a device). I don't know about you, but when I have things to do, my mind keeps running in circles. Did I remember everything? Did I forget something? That's why having a list is so helpful. Once it's written down, it's out of your head, and all you have to do is refer back to it. A list can take any form—a note on your phone, a voice memo, a sticky note, or even a scrap of paper. Whatever works best for you to stay organized and at ease. 3:25 Before you go on a trip, one of the best things you can do is create a designated space for everything you'll need. I've helped many clients who feel overwhelmed, saying, "I need to go on a trip, but I don't know where to start, and I'm too busy." My advice? Choose one spot—whether it's an open suitcase, a spare room, a couch, or a chair—and make it your travel prep area. As you go about your routine, start placing everything you'll need for your trip there. For example, do your laundry a week or two before you leave. Pick out the clothes you want to bring, make sure they're clean and folded, and place them in your designated spot. This simple habit keeps you organized and reduces last-minute stress. 9:16 I always suggest to my clients that if there are certain travel essentials—like your favorite neck pillow, special headphones, or anything else you love to have on a flight—pack them in advance. Keep these items in a small bag or container inside your suitcase. That way, when you open your suitcase, everything is already together, ready to go. You won't have to scramble at the last minute or repurchase something at the airport just because you forgot where you put it. 13:18 I hear this a lot in home organization, though it applies just as well to travel. How many times do we say, "I'll take care of that when I get back," or "I'll deal with it once I move?" If you find yourself thinking, "I'm too busy; I'll just do it later," try to pause and ask, "Can I take a few minutes to do this now?" Taking care of small tasks before you leave means you'll come home to less stress and a smoother transition back into daily life. 18:52 Organization is really just about keeping similar things together. Even in a hotel room, I like the idea of having a designated technology area—one spot where everyone plugs in their phones, laptops, and other electronics. This helps avoid the common scenario where you charge your phone next to the bed, grab it in the morning, and go about your day—only to realize later that you left behind a charger or another device. Creating a central charging station keeps everything in one place and makes it easier to pack up when it's time to leave.
