    I would love to win a planner in order to get all the “thoughts” out of my head and onto paper. Right now sticky notes are everywhere and just adding to the”paper” clutter..lol.. Thank you for such an awesome giveaway!

    I really love your ideas! I am really in need of an organization system for my home! It appears to be that I am a hoarder but the things are actually just unorganized! I am disabled and really like the way you have organized your home with the touch it once rule! I could get so much done with the system!

    Oh no I posted a comment, but I guess it didn’t load. I’ll try to remember what I wrote ?
    Thank you so much for your videos and genius ideas. I have always been a pack rat and you have helped me over the past year to improve and to be more organized. I have gotten rid of items I really don’t need anymore and it feels so amazing! I’m looking forward to 2017 to improve even more. I have three kids, one being 7 months old like your baby, so this amazing prize would help this mama out big time! Thank you so much for the opportunity!! ?

    Love the video.

    I would love to see a video or two this year on organizing a rental storage space.
    I moved in with my Mom and have a storage space for my stuff that I did not want to get rid of. I have most of my things in boxes and want to get them into more protected storage containers and put free standing shelves in to make it easy to get my Christmas, extra office storage, books, craft items. I have one narrow table and two twin bed mattresses and box springs for furniture.
    I am handy but will need to do this by myself. I can put together shelving.

    There are issues like how much can you realistically drag out into the inside isle, how to do it in steps over several weekends etc. My space is pretty full and measures 8ft x 10ft.

    I just moved in with my son and daughter in law. My bedroom is so full. I started last night with the declutter plan. I’ve cut out a lot of stuff. 3.5 boxes to donate. You are the best doitonadime. I could really use that planner now. Thank you for your helpful tips and inspiration on this less desirable job.
    Wishing you and yours a Happy and Organized New Year,

    What to do with all the Christmas gifts that you receive at different times during the holiday season? Work mates will give you gifts throughout the Christmas week, you’ll get packages mailed to you, people will leave things on our doorstep, etc… Sometimes I open all the gifts and they sit on the floor or on the table. On Christmas day there are more gifts to add to the floor or table. It’s overwhelming and you have to try and figure out what to do with all the stuff you got. What is the easiest way to organize all these gifts so the home doesn’t look so messy?
