“ … organizing is not a destination; it is the gateway to your higher goal…” – Julie Morgenstern
Getting organized can easily become about products or the way things look, but what it’s really about is how it supports you and your lifestyle. Getting organized is a journey of slowing down long enough to see what you truly want, who you really are and creating an environment that supports whatever that is for you. It’s not about a system of rigidity and “my-way-or-the-highway” thinking. How you arrange, organize and stylize your space should reflect your values and who you are. It should be a place or system that helps you become a better whatever-you-are. So relax, take it all in, and whatever system is working for you – well, work that system.

You are so smart. I just love the way you think. No wonder you are an organizer…
Those words of encouragement lift the heavy weight right off my shoulders and into the trash!
Thank you!!!
Work that system and stick to it. Determine how well do you adapt to a new style and you will see there is not very much space to play with. Slow down, but do it wisely

You are welcome.
Great point! It’s all about the purpose of the room more than how it looks or the products you use.
