Dear Friends,
Happy March! The Easter decorations are in the stores now and I’m seeing tulips being displayed. Spring is in the air!
March 20th is when Spring officially starts but people are already asking for Spring Cleaning advice. That’s next month’s blog!
This month, I wanted to share my fun and exciting experience being featured on the morning radio show “Mathew Blades in the Morning” on 96.9. They were looking for an organizing expert to share some tips on how to declutter and get organized.
It was a very quick interview but his questions were typical of what all my clients ask:
What do you do when you have too much stuff?
What do you do when all your closets or under your kitchen sink is just a mess? Can you relate? The radio hosts, Mathew Blades and Priscilla Ornelas, were terrific. I’m now their biggest fan.
Here’s my advice..

Happy Home Organizers’ 3 Steps for Decluttering and Organizing:
Step 1. Take everything out of the area you are organizing and SORT- “like with like”. Similar items with similar items. Make your categories.
Step 2. Purge! Decide what you will no longer wear again, use again or want and get the items out- immediately. Feel good about donating!
Step 3. Find a Home for all the items you are keeping. Where will all your items live?
This is how you create your organized system- your “foundation” of order. Now that you are organized, you want to STAY organized.
Rachel’s 3 Golden Rules for STAYING Organized:
1. Home for Every Item
2. Like with Like
3. One In, One Out Rule
You follow these 3 organizing rules and you will be golden!
Please, take a listen…
I’ll be back next month with my tips for Spring Organizing and Spring Cleaning.
Have a marvelous March-
Happy Organizing!
Rachel Winter
