Vacation Organization Mode!


March and April make me think of Spring Break and usually vacation time. I love going on vacation. I love packing for vacation even more. The part of vacation I am not the biggest fan of is coming home and then unpacking. Thanks to being organized, I have been able to do this a little better. Still don't LOVE it, but I at least do it now! So, for the Month of march, once a week I will be posting a different part vacation organizing tips that I have developed for Prim and Proper Method. Please follow to get all of the tips to make your vacation more organized!

Accordion file folder
This week we are going to talk about organizing the paper that comes with traveling. Thanks to our phones we are able to keep a lot of travel documents digital. However if you are like me, you like to have back up. I print out my hotel, car rental, flight and any other documents I might need to get where I'm going. Our family loves to cruise, so I also have my passports and cruise paperwork and luggage tags.  I use an accordion file folder to hold all of my documents. I get one for every trip we take. First I put all travel documents into it and pack it into my carry on. Then after we have reached our destination I move all of that paperwork into 1 pocket, and use the rest for each day of travel. I like to get the 8x11 size so my papers can stay flat. I have used the smaller ones and they got the job done, but I prefer the larger size.

Travel papers
I love to keep all of the receipts, brochures, room keys, maps and more... from everywhere we travel. I am a scrapbooker also, and no matter how much I think I can remember, I never remember where we ate lunch on day 4 or what the name of the boat ride we took on day 6 was. So I like to keep all of the "proof" so when I am working on my scrapbooks I have the correct information to write down. I rarely put the actual brochure in my album, but I do love that I have it to look back on. This works really well for road trips also. I just take everything that we went to that day and put it into its own slot. Then it is all nice and organized in a small space that fits nicely on a shelf until I am ready to use it. It could also just be a great keepsake if you don't scrapbook but want to remember your trip and what you did along the way.

Cruise papers
When cruising you get so much paperwork sometimes it's hard to know what you want to keep or don't, and where to put it all. Cruise rooms are small, and don't have a lot of space for stacks of papers. I just make it really simple and put all of the papers into a slot for each day. Then I know I am not missing anything. Yes I throw a lot away when I get home, but I don't ever worry about leaving it on the ship. Again, the accordion folder takes up little space and keeps the papers nice and neat. Once you make a "home" for your items it makes it really easy to keep them organized.

Slide papers into slots. Quick and easy!

11/15 Home office/Craft areas!

Go through all paperwork and decide what is trash, and what needs to be filed, and what needs to be dealt with right away! Create space for your new piles. We have a few different systems in our office- I have a "need to get to" tray with 3 slots one for each business and then a home one. The for Billy's Business we have wall organizers and each month is a different folder! This makes it so easy to file the papers quickly and they stay organized until tax time! And the third is we turned 2 drawers into small filing cabinets and one hold all of Billys past tax papers, and the other one is for all of our household papers. One drawer is in our office, the other is in our TV stand in our living room! Sometimes you have to get creative!!

Why you need a Professional Organizer

Are you one who feels like you will never be able to get rid of your clutter because you can't let things go? Does everything in your house have a purpose to you? Have you stopped even thinking about it because it is too overwhelming? Do you know how much time you are losing due to your clutter? Most people don't realize how much clutter takes over their whole life. When your house is clutter filled, so is your mind. I have worked with many clients who have had these issues. I will break them up into two posts, this one is when its hard to let go of clutter.  In my opinion a great professional organizer will come in and help you make the decisions on your own. If a professional organizer comes into your home and demands you get rid of 95% of your clutter and just starts throwing things into the trash bin, you are not going to feel successful or know how to continue to do it on your own.
