Intimidated? By me? Well, we can’t have THAT! 🙂

As a Professional Organizer, I’ve received lots of organizing training, had lots of on-the-job experience, read tons of books, and I enjoy sharing with all my blog readers. But I try to promote the idea of being “organized enough.” Perfection IS NOT the goal.

I do tend to be a bit of an organizing freak in my own home, but as long as you’re admitting things, I’ll let you in on a secret, too: Even Organizers have to deal with their own clutter and paper piles. The difference is that we LOVE the job of restoring order, whether it’s our stuff or someone elses.

Thanks so much for sharing my site with your readers!!! I’ll definitely be back to read more about YOUR talents!

Well done you on getting organised. We only have a small home and find our method of getting ‘sorted’ involves moving stuff from one room to another!! xx

Hi Sarah
I don’t need any encouragement. I admit to having started to think the same!

Having been fortunate enough to see Domestic Executive HQ in the flesh, I think the change around is an improvement. Plus you’ve now got wall space above your desk for a few shelves on which to store more piles of paper…..!

Dad, I’m slightly alarmed at this news. Although it might account for the recent urges for DIY I’ve been having!

I hesitate to make suggestions to a recently retired school teacher who puts me to shame at the sheer organisational ability and advance planning. I’ve still not got over the fact you ran a sandwich making factory on a Sunday for the week’s packed lunches!

Still, what you need is some bags and a lock on the door.

Lock yourself in. Purge everything that you’ve not looked at for a year or you won’t need again for another year. Don’t forget to sort for recycling, charity donation or simply trash the real trash noone else will want.

Then in the 50% extra space you will have created install the new storage and organising materials you bought before you locked the door. This will make your office look beautiful and fresh for the third age of working (or rather not working in your case!).

Now you can unlock the door and look back at your handiwork!

Now I have retired I am in the process of clearing out my work bits and pieces and reorganising our small study – any ideas what I can do to it?

I see that you have the same layout as me now.
It must be in the genes for me to transfer the perfect layout over such a long distance?

Although I do not have two dogs to consider.
