Invest in Yourself!

I had the distinct honor and pleasure to be interviewed by Pastor NaRon Tillman of ONE Ministries. I would strongly suggest that you take a moment to listen to his many podcasts that will inspire you mentally and spiritually.

Invest In Professional Organizer – What Does A Professional Organizer Do? | Candy Speight, You don’t need a little nudge to reduce clutter and get organized. But, the reality is that the push – pushing, helping, educating – comes from professionals who specialize in the area of organizing and decluttering. This episode of Walk In Victory is centered around educating us on why hiring a professional organizer may be just the thing you need to end the year.

Candy Speight, founder and CEO of Order My Steps and author of “3 Reasons Why You Should Invest In a Professional Organizer,” discusses why this may be an all-important investment for you. Listen, like, and subscribe to our podcast to ensure you don’t miss another show.

Tackling Our Closet – Step III – Organizing

We hope that you had a Fun & Relaxing Labor Day Holiday!

I took a little break from social media for the past few weeks, so I hope that you’ve begun to tackle your closet and you are breathing a little easier. My break should have also given you a little more time to complete the two most difficult steps of the process, which were Sorting and Purging. Today we’re going to work on Organizing, the final step of the organizing process and to me, the step which is the most Fun!

We are in the homestretch of this journey and again, I ask that if you have any questions, concerns, ideas or suggestions along the way, simply leave us a comment.

I would LOVE to hear from you!

“Time to Organize”

“Tackling Our Closet”, our How-to course, was first introduced on YouTube back in January.  We have sorted & purged the clothes in our closets and NOW it’s Time to Organize…the Very BEST PART! We are going to put our clothes in ORDER!!

Remember, we want this course to be interactive, so don’t forget to take a picture of your closet BEFORE you begin each step and I would love for you to send it to us. Just in case you get stuck along the way, I may be able to provide virtual support.

It’s a journey…. taking one step and a time!

The Challenge: The Husband’s Closet!

Have you struggled to organize your husband’s closet? Then Watch & Be AMAZED!!

OK! … Allow me to explain :-/ !  As I stated, I’ve been married for a long time and during the early years of our marriage, I was very diligent in organizing my husband’s closet.  I would hang up all his clothes and make sure that all the shirts & jackets were facing in the same direction.  I would separate the dress pants from the jeans and make sure that all his shoes were lined up properly.

THEN…..  Within a week, the closet would be in complete disarray and out of order!!!  But guess what!?!?, the organizer in me, YES! would organize it again!  I thought that my husband didn’t truly understand how important an organized closet was and after he tried it for a little while, he would realize how much easier his life would be?!?!?!

WELL …. after years of frustration, trying to make it work, I admitted defeat!

SO… This video was meant to help many of you, who are still trying to make it work and organize the husband’s closet.  Take the advice of an expert, you do have some choices:

  • Continue to nag and insist that one day, he will realize that he should really organize his closet; get rid of all the old clothes that he will never fit in again and toss those items that are tattered and torn… Trust me, I know!
  • Continue to organize it yourself and be frustrated to no end, because “he just doesn’t get it!”
  • OR…. resign yourself to the idea that he doesn’t really want his closet organized, save yourself all the frustration and close the door!!

I hope that this video/post has helped someone out there.  At times, you just have to pick your battles and this may be one that’s not worth fighting!!!!!!

If you still need to talk about it, just give me a call! 😀

“Diving Right In” – Phase III (Maintain)

The maintenance process is very simple, in theory.  There is a place for everything, and return everything to its place.  This must become an unconscious habit (is that possible?).  Now this may be a difficult task, especially for children, but try to keep it fun.  Create a reward system for the children and the adults (my creative juices are flowing).   When the toys are put back in the toy box or the tools are not left in the laundry room, or the high heel shoes are not under the couch in the family room…. you are well on your way to Order out of Chaos.

Again, this is an on-going process, but everyone must participate.  Set aside some “organize time” at the end of the day (10-15 min.).  Everyone puts away 5-items. When you are done…..
