Sometimes our lives become overwhelmed by the mounds of papers from work and the never ending process of checking emails or the clutter of magazines, coats, shoes, and mail. Your unorganized life can create an enormous amount of stress. Take some of these tips into consideration to create a happier and more organized life for yourself!

OrganizeNY (organizeny.com)

According to OrganizeNY founder, Juli Oliver, organization is a skill that can be learned through a process of decisions. Since 2005 she has been helping clients by using her skills to creatively sort, dispose of, and control clutter. OrganizeNY is not afraid to tackle anything new. They are committed to providing long term solutions for short term problems.

Practice some of Juli’s tips for a more organized home:

• For everything that comes in the door, something must go out.
• Open you mail as soon as you get it. Recycle the junk, anything that’s not important or that will be sitting around and take things out of their envelopes
• Never underestimate the uses for over the door shoe bags. They make great storage for your coat closet- gloves, scarves and hats. Bathrooms supplies and toiletries. Even kids arts and crafts. Just remember to place objects that are heavy in the bottom row.

Lisa Zaslow, founder of Gotham Organizers, never forgot what she learned as an 11-year old Girl Scout: Leave a place better than you found it. Since 2002, she’s helped hundreds of people and businesses make the most of their space, stuff, information and time, so they can focus on the things in life that are really important. Lisa’s Less Mess = Less Stress™ workshops and teleclasses have taught thousands of people how to do more in less time. Gotham Organizers doesn’t preach the conventional organizing “rules” (Lisa has yet to figure out how to touch every piece of paper only once and has clothes in her closet that she hasn’t worn in over a year); she takes a customized approach, working with each client’s specific needs, values, and space, to create environments and systems that truly work for them.

Practice some of Lisa’s tips for a more organized office:

• Prevail over e-mail. Try to check and respond to e-mail at designated “sessions” rather than continuously throughout the day. Mute the incoming mail chime to make it easier to ignore each new message.
• Minimize interruptions. When you really need to get something done, make yourself unavailable–no calls, e-mail or visitors.
