I like to keep work and home "organized". By the time I get to work, home stuff is forgotten. And when I leave work, work is behind me.

I need this to help me with organization. I have a brand new baby girl and organization is a MUST right now.

The best way for us to organize is always the easiest: my boys (the one I married included) are always far more likely to organize and put things away if they have TONS of options to choose from. The more cubbies, baskets, bowls, what have you they have? Much better chance that my OCD won't have me rocking myself to sleep crying in a fetal position.

I organize things according to what is important. My family is most important. Things that affect it comes first.Things like the health and well being of my family including providing a home, for their health and happiness comes first. I don't sweat the small stuff.

I am a part of a very organized family. My wife keeps all the kids toys in separate containers based on style and brand. Star Wars figures go here. Barbies go there. Legos go here. Nerf bullets go there. And on it goes... Thanks for the opportunity to enter!

To be organized I try to keep everything in its place, and when I bring something new into the house, something old goes.

I organize my life by always being on guard against clutter -- which means strategically filing, recycling, selling, gifting, repurposing, etc., items or things we don't need or use all that often; making good use of storage bins and filing systems in every room of the home, and always keeping a running inventory of what we have in the home so we don't double or triple-buy as we used to do! Thanks for the giveaway - I love The Container Store!

I organize my life by trying to keep what is important first, God and family.

As for the piles of stuff, I don't always do so well with that. I have good intentions, but seem to always be working on getting rid of piles.

I organize my life my only keeping what I need and what is good for me. From junk mail to bad relationships, if it's toxic, I discard it.

Honestly, I need some help in that area. I make list of things to do that helps some.

I have lots of plastic drawer sets from Container Store and Target that are labeled - filing, bills to pay, order online, vacations, etc. Small house and lots of papers, that's what seems to work for me!

I am trying to get organization because currently I suck at it. For the last 7 years I have been working full time and going back to school. Normal everyday house work even got away from me during those last few years. Now that I am finally finished with school I am trying to organize my house and make everything have it own place. I usually try to buy nifty little containers or labels to get organized. This would be great. I am currently trying to tackle all of the closets in the house (bedroom, hallway, linen, and coat/shoe). Thanks for the chance.

I have every good intention of being organized. I love to buy cute little cubbies and storage totes and colorful organizers. Er.....they just never seem to be the kind that fill and organize all by themselves! I need a robot maid - like the Jetsons. Or $100 gift card so I really have no more excuses.

Well I justt ake one day at a time that keeps me fairly organized cause why worry about anything that ytou cant change anyways so taking it easy and living in the moment is my way of organization

I always make notes of things I need to do and get done in the week.
If not the kids would be lost.

I do think that everything has a place, but I'm not too organized as to where I spend all my free time just organizing. I'm most critical when it comes to paperwork. All my important papers are organized right away.

I keep organized by writing myself lists.

by getting rid of things I don't really need any more, It is amazing the amount of stuff I have collected over the years the I don't need or use

Please enter me :)

I organize in a couple of different ways. I always get everything ready the night before because I do not function well in the morning. I stay out of stores as much as possible because then I don't buy stuff. I try to do the: something into the house - something OUT of the house. Thanks for the contest.

I organize by throwing stuff away which drives my mother crazy! That stuff is still good is what she says all the time.

Laughing out loud. As this is the hardest question for me to answer. I am a full time working mom. My husband just happens to be away this week so organizing my life has been very hard. I wish I can be more organized. I try to organize my life, but keeping a calendar up to date with all I have to do. Usually I do this at night after the kids go to bed. I update it and look ahead to see what I need to do the following days. I also adhere to the rule that everything has a place and work hard to get everything back to that place. Loved the question. Loved reading others posts for inspiration =)

I cannot tell a lie. Organizing is one of my life's challenges. I try to keep organized by being a master list maker, but somehow things still seem to pile up around me. Maybe if I had some great containers to organize my things in, then I'd BECOME more organized. Well a girl can dream can't she?

One of my biggest wishes is to be organized. I've always had to make lists just to remember to do routine things. Without my lists I'm in total chaos. Things just seem to accumulate and suddenly I look around and I have clutter everywhere! Then it's a major job to attack it and get it somewhat under control.

I like to keep things organized in clear containers or boxes. I have metal shelves in the basement with lots of these holding everything from a to z.

I like to categorize: by color, by type (like clothes by season) and all lined up nicely. :)

Organizing is an area i need to work more on....I just have several totes and they are labeled. Always looking and reading ideas to be more organized.

I tend to organize things in phases, so things can pile up for a while, but then they get put in their proper places.

I organize my life with lists. I'm always so busy that if I don't write it down, there's a chance I won't remember it. I've also been getting much better at organizing my life at home. Just cleaning up a few things each day ensures that the house doesn't get too cluttered. Thanks!

I just Tweeted about this giveaway here: http://mobile.twitter.com/katygmorris/status/21636...

Thanks!!! :)

I'll have to admit that I'm not the best organizer around, but I'm really trying lately! I actually just organized my closet a couple of weekends ago and put all pants together with the skirts on the bottom racks with the tops on the top rack. It has bee super-nice to have everything I need arms length. If I won this I'd love to get some social racks and hangers to organize my shoes and purses.

Thanks for the great giveaway!!! :)

I don't stay nearly as organized as I would like to be. Especially in the summer when I have NO extra time, things tend to get out of control. We have recently begun to get rid of all the "crap" in the house and once fall comes I really hope to work on that more so that there isn't so much stuff that needs to be organized!

Thanks for the great contest!

Oh, if a wish could come true...this would be mine. I cannot seem to be organized, and have never been able to since I was a child. I want to be neat, I try to be neat. I buy files, make piles, trying to make some sense of the disarray around me. I have bipolar disorder and it has been suggested that I may have ADHD, so maybe I'm not just a messy person on purpose, buy by biological design. I do find myself to be a disappointment though, to both myself and my family. My dh is organized, and both of my grown children are obsessed with being organized, (probably because they've seen how it has affected my life, and not in a good way.) I did visit the Container Store one time, and dreamed that my life could be as compartmentalized as their beautiful products. I feel that if I did have some kind of system like they offer, it would be a step in the right direction.
