[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All I have to say is that's my DREAM job. I love to organize. My mom used to beg me to organize a closet and would pick different ones for mothers days/birthdays/christmas. She was soo messy and couldn't keep up with anything.

And LOL at their reactions every time someone has a "junk drawer." I don't have one either, but have a "supply drawer" with stapler, pens, stamps, pads of paper. Those are my people.[/quote]

I worked as an organizer and did NOT buy tons of shit at The Container Store.  I worked with what people had in their homes, encouraged purging heavily and used a label maker.  If a client said they'd do better if they could see things, THEN we'd get clear containers (but cheaper ones than at TCS).  The key is really to be honest with yourself about what you use.  My favorite thing to organize was closets.  I did not decant everything. I grouped things in the fridge by category.  I got offered a LOT of kitchen gadgets that people admitted they didn't use- that's why I have a blender, a mini-food processor and electric tea kettle.  :)

I organized books by category and then height within that.  So here are all the biographies, here are all the legal thrillers, here are all the reference books, the self-help books, etc.  One client just read books by authors who wrote tons of books, so we had a John Grisham shelf, Danielle Steel shelf, etc.  [/quote]
