The first interview of my series Everyone's an expert is with Amy Doolittle.
Amy is a wife and mother of 3 young children, making her a perfect candidate for this series of articles. She was lucky enough to grow up in a organized home giving her a good foundation and a positive relationship with organization. If that is not that case with you don’t despair, the organization gene is but a myth. Organization is a skill like any other and can be learned.
Amy found the kitchen to be the easiest place to maintain organized. She designates cupboards to similar items. This is specially helpful when organizing a common area. Making others aware of your system will allow them to be active participants in keeping it organized. The kitchen is a great place to start to exercise your organizational muscles. Since this area sees the most amount of traffic in today’s homes, small changes like organizing the junk drawer or pantry can make an immediate impact on your home life.
Amy found the office is the hardest place to get organized, that is actually very common. The sheer volume of items processed in our home offices makes it very challenging to keep it organized.
Amy found most of her organizational solutions through trial and error. That seems to be the way most of us design our systems. Amy has a point, asking others for help is not our first instinct because we do have very different ways of doing things. However, I think that if there is an area you struggle with, ask around, chances are someone you know has figured out a way to make it work and it could work for you.
