Design Public’s Organization Blog Fest

The website Design Public is hosting an Organization Blog Fest for a week and a little more this January. Each day is a new post with tips, tricks, and advice on how to help you organize your life. So far, the series has been well written, and I recommend you check it out.

Unclutterer was asked to contribute to the advice-wielding group, and my post “Outfitting a Minimalist Kitchen” ran last Thursday. I’m interested in hearing from you what you think about the list of minimalist food preparation utensils. Leave a comment expressing your ideas either here or on Design Public — I’ll be checking both places to see what you think.

Winter storage event at Home Depot

home_depotHome Depot is currently holding a sale on all storage products until January 31. The Winter Storage Event prices are available online and in-store. (Some products are in-store only.)

When most of us are watching our wallets, this is a good opportunity to take advantage of sale prices while organizing a specific problem area of our homes. Categories of storage include: closet storage (wood and wire), garage storage, living room storage, pantry storage, and multi-purpose storage.

Before you head out to your local Home Depot, be sure to figure out what you need for your specific organization project. Make sure you take measurements and try to envision what you need before you make your purchase.

January is Get Organized Month

The National Association of Professional Organizers has once again declared January Get Organized Month!

We love the idea of starting off the year on the right foot, and we hope that you get in on the organizing spirit. NAPO has many events scheduled across the country as part of their Get Organized Month. Be sure to check out the calendar to see if there is an event near you.

Also, Amazon.com is interested in helping you get organized in January. They have created a Top 10 New Year’s Resolution page that includes “#9: Organize and Optimize” with a number of good deals on storage solutions and organizing books.

Do you have plans to get organized in January? Let us know about your plans in the comments. You can help inspire all of us.
