Comments on: Question of the Day: How Often Do Your Reorganize? http://www.organizingyourway.net/question-of-the-day/question-of-the-day-how-often-do-your-reorganize A Personalized Approach to Decluttering Your Life Thu, 11 Mar 2010 18:18:13 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9 hourly 1 By: Joless http://www.organizingyourway.net/question-of-the-day/question-of-the-day-how-often-do-your-reorganize/comment-page-1#comment-6024 Joless Mon, 25 Jan 2010 14:42:19 +0000 http://www.organizingyourway.net/?p=1492#comment-6024 I reorganise things when I can't stand the clutter anymore, but what I should be doing is getting rid of stuff. My GF made a plaintive cry this weekend of 'please stop moving things around' and I realised that I'm being unfair to her if I expect her to know where everything goes even after I've moved it all around. So now I am focussing on decluttering rather than reorganising....and leaving post-it notes for her if I do move things!

I think this sounds like a great way to use what must be a very hard time for something productive!

I don't know why but it's better than drowning my sorrows in a tub of ice cream. Since he's going to Afghanistan in April, I have a six month plan to organize, get rid of things we don't use anymore and find some much needed space! <abbr><em>Vanessa’s last blog post...<a href="http://www.militarywifemayhem.com/2009/07/remembering-our-fallen-heroes-master.html" rel="nofollow">Remembering Our Fallen Heroes: Master Cpl.

What a hassle! We've moved quite a bit since we got married (5 times in 6 years, although now we plan to stay put for good), and it's a lot of work!!! That said, I do think it can be good for decluttering/organizing because I always end up purging really well when we move rather than hauling it all with me! Moving every few months??? What a hassle!

I think I organize toys the most, and kid clothes, and then random other things. Right now I'm thinking about how best to organize my catch-all closet. The two biggest hold-ups for me are money and time. I don't have much of either, so my organizing often involves re-purposing things that are no longer necessary. It would be awesome! to have lots of extra cash for cool organizational items. My last big project was converting an underused changing table into a toy shelf.
