In Help for moms to clear their mental clutter, Barbara Tako tells us that:
Clutter isn’t always physical. Sometimes, as busy moms who lead hectic and stressful lives, we struggle with mental clutter–items we need to do, schedules we are holding in our heads, stuff we need to add to a shopping list. The mental clutter goes on and on…Try these tips to clear the mental clutter.

There are some really innovative products out there to help busy mothers get organized, and Krista Colvin tells us about one of her favorites, The All-in-one Schoolfolio, while Janet Baker describes The Smartest Filing System For Busy Moms. Janet says:
Happy Mother’s Day! It’s time to give mom a helping hand! Using smart filing system software, she can create one simple way to organize everything that needs filing and storing, no matter where it is in the house, the garage, the shed, or in storage.
Ramona Creel describes a common challenge as follows:
I have a client who is trying to simplify her life, and she would be succeeding at it beautifully, if it weren’t for her family! Sometimes, it can seem like your housemates are hell-bent on making your life more complicated — bringing in tons of unnecessary clutter, expecting you to pick up after them, and creating chaos in your schedule. For a simplicity strategy to really work, the whole team has to be on board…

I love that you have a different topic each month. I keep the same umbrella theme, but allow a hodge-podge of posts to be collected and posted. Do you search for posts on-line to feature or do you collect through blogcarnivaldotcom?
Professional organizers are invited to submit to the blog carnival right here on my blog. I decided against using BlogCarnival.com because I was concerned about getting a lot of off-topic posts from people using autosubmitting software, and I introduced the monthly theme a few months ago when the number of submissions started to grow to the point where it was a lot of work to manage and the list of posts was getting too long for people to read them all.
I’m glad you’re enjoying it, and hope you’ll stop by again next month (or sooner)!
