Dear DeClutterer!
Take Control: Work - Nourish - Replenish + More
Take Control of Your Workspace
I'm aware that every time you hear from me I am telling you about a new aspect of decluttering that I love the MOST! Believe me when I say that I love this work! This time it's about increasing office productivity and ease. How do you organize your work space so that you flow and get your work done? You know this: when your space is clear so is your head. When it isn't, the chaos on your desk seeps into your brain. I want your energy to be used well so that you can relax in your space. You can develop systems to maintain the paper and projects ahead.
This summer, in prep for what will always feel like a new school year to me, I am offering a discounted rate for office and desk organization. Let's get your foundation established and develop maintenance strategies. This way you will be ready and won't need me beyond a touch-up now and then. Here are some home office before and after shots:
Hard-to-place item - Turtle Collection!
SO - Mr. Turtle-Collector: If you are reading this, here are some ideas to help you find a home for your collection. Contact the colleges who have turtles as their mascots. See if their development departments want to use them as gifts to donors or campus visitors. Same with wildlife or terrapin organizations such as the Sea Turtle Conservancy. Additional uses could be individual silent auction items or perhaps auctioning the collection as a whole. You also could search for a similar collector on facebook or turtle-loving listserves or offer these up individually or as a complete collection on ebay. Lastly, start gifting them to admirers when they visit your home. What fun it would be to pick out a favorite one!

Organize Your Kitchen
How's Your Sleep?
Lastly, if clothing on your bed is not one of the reasons you can't sleep, use a high-grade lavender oil on your temples and - believe it or not - on the bottoms of your feet. It works. I promise.
Question: Green Drop Facilities
You may be tempted to use a Green Drop facility because various charities benefit from your items. I get questions ab Green Drop alot so I made a visit and asked how it works. Bottom line - they could not tell me what happens to all the things that are dropped off. Yes, the various charities benefit from your donations BUT it is not guaranteed that these items are put to reuse or sold for weight, scrap, etc. In fact, I could not find out how the charities benefit or what happens to the items after they receive them. If one of your goals is RE-USE I am not sure that Green Drop is the way to go.
Here is an amazing resource of what to do with your things in the Philly area. It comes from my friends at reSource Exchange. I think you will find it super comprehensive -- and dare I say - exciting?
