In the last few weeks I've given 4 virtual talks! One, to a group of real estate agents, focused on how to find nooks for home offices in their listings. It reminded me of this hall closet turned file storage from a few years ago. My client took control and did this after I left.

Working mostly with clients in and around DC, I unearth a lot of election newspapers and paraphernalia. Ooo, it's abundant in this town! I think I once even found a front page from Nixon's impeachment. Wish I had snapped a pic.

I recently worked with a client who, over the course of just two sessions, got rid of at least 10 trash bags of clothes (45 pairs of shoes were only a sliver of it!). Jobs like that put ME in the mood to tear through my own closet.

I’ve been thinking about what I can share with you that is uniquely about organizing that might truly be helpful in a sea of Covid-19 information that you've already heard.

All of us are spending a lot of time at home these days. You’re certainly faced with a lot of stresses today, some of which you can control and others that you can’t. One thing you can control is the clutter that you suddenly can’t escape.

On YouTube, my video Minimalism Tutorial 4: The Sweater With Sentimental Value has a reply by someone who was struggling to donate some very sentimental Irish wool sweaters. As I was writing my reply to her, I had a new idea on how to more easily let go of this type of thing.

Tote bags are one of those items that regenerate as soon as you get rid of them. They’re also one of those items that are likely to be stashed in at least 5 different places in the house. Once you (or the organizer) consolidate them, you stare in horror at the pile.
