September is a pivotal time to pause, get organized, declutter our lives and plan for the future, whether for the next few months, the next several years or our retirement. But getting organized is not so easy for most of us, when we’re trying to balance the hectic demands of family and friends, school, work, household tasks and social obligations. Not to mention the temporary states of disorganization and clutter we experience when we’re faced with major disruptions, like the loss of a loved one, a change in job or work schedule, or a move to a new home and town. In today’s episode, we talk with Annmarie Brogan and Marie Limpert, professional organizers and experts in the field of decluttering, space maximization, and life-management strategies. They are co-owners of Organize Me! of NY, and co-authors of a pragmatic, plain-spoken book, Beyond Tidy: Declutter Your Mind and Discover the Magic of Organized Living. Annmarie and Marie will not only explain their eight principles to help you declutter and organize effectively, but also how to create a positive mindset that keeps you motivated and focused on solutions. They’ll demonstrate how organization (and disorganization) can impact your home, relationships, quality of life and overall wellbeing. And they’ll tell us how to plan for obstacles and stay resilient throughout the organizing process, on the way to discovering a new vision of what’s possible in creating a home and life you love.
