What's So Funny?

Why humor helps me organize

Maybe something's in the air! It seems like every time I open a magazine or newspaper I run into a comic commentary on disorganization and clutter. Now I'm  thinking the funny-pages may be on to something.

The MOST important treasure in my Organizer's Tool Kit is a sense of humor!  Really - can you imagine facing a challenge - whether it's a drawer, a basement, or a whole house without the ability to keep a light heart?

Humor is a great motivator when energy sags, a "normalizer" when you feel like you're the only one to let clutter take over, and a way to remember to keep your perspective.  You are so much more than your clutter. Laughter is good for the soul - and a way to nurture the creation of order from the inside out.
