Organization = Sanity & Good Mental Health

Three of my favorite pass times:

1. Cleaning
2. Organizing 
3. Cleaning while organizing at the same time

I'm neurotic & a little OCD.  
I've known this for quite some time.  
At least I am self aware right?

In my experience being organized saves time for more important things like running, yoga and cycling.  Not being able to find things or having to go through piles of stuff to get to what you need scares the pants off me.  Not gonna lie.....

I have a job that requires me to dress like I know a thing or two.  To ensure I stay sane and can get ready as quickly as possible (maximizing my sleep time) I do the following:

Wire hangers really freak me out.  Maybe it is from watching the movie "Mommie Dearest" too many times.

Wait....I get crazier

You either think I am brilliant or mental at this point.
But wait....we've just begun

OH me, oh my.  I'm a total nut job and I'm just realizing it....YIKES.

Whatever.  At least I can get ready in 10 minutes or less.

  5. That is super impressive. I need to take a few tips from you and reorganize my closet and drawers. The folded shirts in the drawer is a terrific idea.

  9. We could totally be friends. This looks like my closet! Love it!
    I used to buy a $5 package of wooden hangers every time I went to Target until after a few years I finally had enough.
    When my, ah, "roommate" left earlier this year, I told him the he most certainy COULD NOT have any of the wooden hangers. So now I have plenty of room to shop! :0)

  15. Holy smokes! You have got to be the MOST organized person I've ever seen. Outta curiosity, how long does it stay organized in between cleanings? I just recently rearranged my closet by color and it's helped tremendously with dressing, but I have to reorganize every weekend. It drives me crazy! How do you do it, on the go?
