As professional organizers we try to read and educate ourselves continually on new ways and techniques to organize, as well as new trends in the industry. The book, The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down is continually mentioned by our clients and fellow organizers. In that regard, we thought it was worth a second look. The book written by Haemin Sunim discusses mindfulness and “how to be calm and mindful in a fast paced world.” You may ask how this applies to organizing, and we can assure you it has EVERYTHING to do with organizing.

Guest Post - Trouble tossing your old things? Blame the Endowment Effect
It’s summertime. Your family has chosen today to finally tackle that mountain of stuff that’s been slowly filling the garage over the years. The work starts smoothly enough - no one wants to hang on to old bank statements. But then you notice something happening. You’ve started reasoning why you should keep clothing that you haven’t worn in years because, seriously, who wears Hammer Pants anymore? Your son bursts into tears because you tossed his water wings despite that fact that he’s now on the swim team. Your daughter loudly demands her teeball set back; the one that broke after she started on her path to the All State player she is today.
