In the May, 2018 article featured in Zillow Porchlight, writer Dorothy the Organizer shares her tips on summer clutter, procrastination and routines.
Between vacations, barbecues and pool parties, we can lose track of routines, projects and “stuff.”
Sometime about now in mid-summer we begin asking ourselves, “Why do things seem to be out of control? I planned on organizing my photos, painting that cute dresser I picked up at the yard sale last fall, and waking up without an alarm clock on Fridays. None of it has happened!”

If you need a little extra help or are considering consulting a personal or professional organizer, do your homework, not all organizers are created equal.
My personal recommendation goes to Andrea Brundage, Professional Organizer, Simple Organized Solutions. She is local and has assisted me is so many ways, both personally with family organizing as well as to set up systems within my business to keep me organized and on target.
