I have a basement full of "helpful" organizing tools like baskets, bins, containers, dividers etc.. that are no longer helpful and I am now either desperately trying to find a new use for them, to no avail, or trying to find a place to store them and well, organize the organizing stuff. seems a little counter productive doesn't it? ; ) Thank you for your wonderful advice!

Line after line, different fonts and colors each time, it reminds me to be satisfied with good enough. People who see the poster "get it" or they don't need to, but it's a daily reminder for me. I'm a recovering perfectionist. When I was learning to use a computer I made a beautiful poster that reminds me every day: Be satisfied with Good Enough.

I have a few organizing sites on my Google Reader, including yours, and sometimes they just get carried away. And that's usually when I unsubscribe from their feed and get on with real life. This is the best organizing tip ever. Not that I don't love to organize! It's just nice for someone to say it like it is (or should be). Brilliant! :) .-= Crystal´s last blog post ..<a href="http://crystalsviewfromhere.blogspot.com/2009/11/oh-yeah-thanksgiving.html" rel="nofollow">Oh yeah, Thanksgiving.</a> =-. Thanks for this post.
