Snow Day!! Good day to organize at home! What really needs to be organized?Your book shelf? Take out the books and dust the shelves. How should you place them back? It's totally up to you. Many home libraries are organized by types of books- fiction can be organized by genres or by author. Non-fiction can be done by subject areas- like putting all your cookbooks together or by the type of cooking- baking, stir frying, roasting, . Basically, its what you want- but make it easy on your self so you can find a book quickly! In the library, we always try to organize so the item can be found.

It's Friday !! Soon to be raining, I think. I'm off to work in a few minutes. Start your day today thinking about where you really need to be organized. What is your worst spot? How can you fix it?
Don't do anything about organizing today. Just think about which area would be most helpful to you to be organized and straighten. Next week, we're off to our first organizing project! Have a great Weekend!!

Cold out today, but wait for the rain/sleet!! Begin to think about how you would like to be more organized. What areas are you interested in being more organized in?? Next week, I will start you on your first organizing "project" so stay tuned.
