Ours is a culture of abundance. Even in this time of economic recession - most of us have more ‘stuff’ than we really, truly, need. Clutter, whether it be too many tasks on our agenda, too many thoughts pulsing through our minds, or too many belongings in our homes, seems to be a societal epidemic. When we slow down a bit and take notice, however, we find that more stuff actually creates more stress. Additionally, the state of having too much stuff to care for, clean, and manage means less time for connecting with family and friends, taking care of yourself, and nurturing your soul and creative spirit.

This is a job for Senior Move Management

I recently stumbled across this article in the New York Times from 2006 about Senior Move Managers. Although a few years old, it describes perfectly why outside help can be so important during your next move.  

Perfect Order’s New Addition: Move Management

Submitted by Web Master on Tue, 01/11/2011 - 15:56

 

As someone who has moved 12 times in the last 20 years, I understand that with age comes treasures. And with treasures comes a lot of hard work. After our last move, 6 months pregnant with a 3-year-old and no outside help, I quickly determined that there had to be a better way to get through a move. And now there is.

Paper Survival Tips #1: Emotions

Submitted by Web Master on Tue, 01/11/2011 - 15:56

Somewhere between the paper squirrel who saves everything “just in case” and the minimalist who tosses everything in the trash, is the organized person for whom keeping important paper is no big deal.  Becoming that organized person is not simple, but taking the steps necessary to get your household paper under control is a task with many rewards, first and foremost: a good night’s sleep.

Having an organized approach to household paper can remove much of the stress associated with living in an increasingly complicated world.  As children, parents, spouses, partners, investors, citizens, and employees, we play many roles, each with a trail of paper attached. In the next few blogs I want to talk a little bit about why paper drives us so crazy and what we can do to get it under control.  Although tempting, taking a lit match to your paper piles is NOT the best approach.

The Best Lessons Aren't Always Learned From A Book

I just had the nicest thing happen today. My son left/dropped one of his baseball batting gloves at a baseball complex one hour from home. We had noticed that he did have someone else's glove and one of his own but thought that he just mixed them up with one of his own teammates.  He did indeed have a teammate's glove but no one had his in return. Fortunately, we have learned the hard way with our children to start putting a phone number on their items due to the high displacement factor they seem to possess.
