Get Organized Before The Holidays

perrikersh by perrikersh Speaking(October 2006) (rank 294th)

Don’t wait until January to make getting organized your resolution. Start now and do just a few quick and easy things to make your holiday time merrier and less stressful!

--If your mailbox is like mine, it’s filled with catalogs every day. Some are great and
really save me from trekking to the mall, but most I do not want. Take 2 minutes to call the company for each catalog you no longer wish to receive and request that they remove you from their mailing list.

--Stock your freezer now with healthy meals that can be reheated quickly so you don’t spend even more time in the kitchen over the holidays. If you cook one extra meal each week between now and Christmas, you’ll have a week’s worth of dinner ready to heat and serve.

--Do you have boxes of Christmas cards from 199-something or other? Are they still spreading cheer or just filling your closets? Let the kids at them with some scissors and glue and make collages or new cards for a local nursing home.

GIVE THE GIFT OF ORGANIZATION!
Rather than adding clutter, help your loved ones de-clutter! Neat Freak gift certificates make great holiday gifts and are available for one hour of service and up. Organization is also a wonderful gift for an expecting or new mom, a family in a new home, a friend preparing to move, or anyone who just needs an area of well-deserved peace and calm in their home! E-mail me for more details: perri@neat-freak.com

JANUARY IS GO (Get Organized) MONTH!
Book your appointment now for a one-on-one organizational session that will free up space in your home and your life. Here are three great reasons to hire a professional organizer:
1.    Get a fresh perspective on your stuff—where to store it, what to keep, and how to keep it organized
2.    Be more productive. We waste a lot of time (up to 30 minutes a day on average) looking for things we’ve lost or misplaced. Get that time back by creating a place for everything.
3.    Less stress—who doesn’t want that? Feel better about all that you accomplish each day by creating organized systems that help you function at your very best.

what makes you think people like having their stuffed sorted out by others you would never find anything cause its not where your used  to keeping it
