Dymo Labelmanager 260P Review
"It takes a lot to impress me and the Dymo LabelManager has managed to do just that. The ease of the Dymo LabelManager 260P is brilliant. Rechargeable batteries make this simple but hightech Label Maker super-convenient. The instructions are clear and easy to understand - in fact you can use this great time-saving household and office-neatening device without even having to look at the instructions, it's that user-friendly! Your pantry, study, office will never be the same again. No more messy handwritten labels.

Amazing YouTube Clip of one of the smallest houses ever by Jay Shafer



Check out this great YouTube video about how Jay Shaffer lives in this tiny 96 sq foot house. He is very mindful of his carbon print and not surprisingly has great storage solutions for such a small space. You'll never complain again about not having enough room for all your stuff! Downsizing has been imperative for him and he says he is happier with less clutter and stuff. He keeps things really organized - as you would have to!
I found this great clip over at the wonderful blog unclutterer. Thanks Unclutterer.

Till next time. happy organizing.

Home Organizing Tips - Ironing Tip - Don't Iron! Latest Youtube video



Who loves Ironing? Not me! 
So what are my ironing tips -Don't iron ! Well as little as possible anyway :)

Ironing is a pet hate for a lot of people - including me. I never wanted ironing to be a part of my life so decided not to iron!! Some people find ironing relaxing and if that's you - great - but if it isn't then consider not ironing so much and not caring if everything is ironed or not.

If you are really busy and stressed perhaps ironing is something that you can cut back on. Buying clothes that don't need ironing helps and definitely not ironing undies, or ironing sheets, or ironing jeans heaven forbid!!! If you do need tips on how to iron properly there are lots of great videos on YouTube.http://www.youtube.com/

Youtube [Shiny Sink] Video with Claire McFee Author of Organize Your Life



Do you have a shiny sink?

My Youtube video about the importance of having a shiny sink - as mentinoned in my post referring to The Fly Lady  recently is now up. Click to view. Be sure to leave your comments about whether you have a shiny sink at the start of the day and if not give it a go and let us know if having a shiny sink improves your day! Thanks.

Happy organizing.

True Blue Organizing Guru The Fly Lady

The Fly Lady Organzing Tips - No 1 Clean and Shine Your Kitchen Sink!

I want to let you know about a brilliant organizing website that I found about ten years ago when conducting research for my Organize Your Life Household Organizer. Fly Lady aka Marla Cilley - has a gazzilllion organizing tips to help you get organized once and for all. Fly lady breaks down all the household chores we have to attend to and sends regular email alerts to help remind you what needs to be done and importantly giving you motivation and support that you are not alone and you can do it. Breaking things down into baby steps is the key and repeating new chores so that they can become habits we tend to automatically that are so much easier to do in the process.

One of the first things FlyLady suggests you do to tackle your clutter and organizing routines is to shine and clean your kitchen sink. Some may laugh and say what difference will that make to an organized and productive day? Believe me it has a very powerful effect. It makes sense when you think about the whole notion of a cluttered environment creates a cluttered mind.

Walking into your kitchen and knowing it is clean and it even shining back at you can really help you feel less overwhelmed so you can get on with the rest of your day in a more productive way.

There is a YouTube video from the Flylady about the benefits of a Shiny Sink which you can view and I am also about to post one -giving credit to Flylady for helping me on my journey in to the professional Organizing Industry all those years ago. Thanks Flylady!
