Project Organization - Lesson 3 is posted

  Project Organization was designed to give small manageable organization tasks throughout the year.  Each Monday a new lesson will get posted.  Some are just articles, some will include a video component.

 This week's lesson outlines the 4 Section System.  The 4 Section System is your Road Map for getting and staying organized.  One of the reasons organization systems fail is because we tend to organize to the "container" size or shape we are filling rather than to an actual system.  A system allows your supply collection to remain flexible. Adding in new categories and eliminating categories you'll no longer use.

  I know many of you have taken the time to learn about the 4 Section System, but for those of you who haven't, it's the perfect way to "think" about organization.  I would strongly encourage you to read this week's Project Organzation article.  In the article we discuss how the 4 Section System works in a ScrapRack, but you can apply the ideas to any number of storage tools.

  You'll be amazed at how easy it is to find what you need, when your brain knows where it is located.

Project Organization Starts Today!

Christmas decorations are put away, kids are back in school - it's time to tackle organizing your craft supplies!  This year we're offering the Get Organized Challenge (starts 1-17-2012 click here for more details) and a brand new program called Project Organization.  Some of you are familiar with the Get Organized Challenge.  It's 8 weeks of somewhat intense organization challenges. 
Project Organization on the other hand is a weekly article and/or video posting that gives you one small organization task to do each week.  Project Organization lessons will post each Monday and continue throughout the year.  You can do them all,  or just "cherry pick" the lessons that most apply to you
Our first lesson - Prepare to Purge - will get you set up for success with a simple task of setting up a "Purge" box.  Important to this lesson is taking on the mental challenge of parting with some of things you've been hanging onto in your craft supply collection.
