Letting Go – Professional Organizers Blog Carnival

A former professional organizer, I now eliminate stress for my clients by hosting, monitoring, and maintaining their WordPress sites so they don’t have to worry about security, downtime or performance issues. When I’m away from my desk, I enjoy reading, photography, watching movies, and cooking.

Letting Go – Professional Organizers Blog Carnival

A big part of getting organized is letting go – not just of items that are no longer needed, but of activities, attitudes and behaviors that prevent us from living our best possible life. Helping their clients to let go is a big part of the work that professional organizers do, so I invited my readers to share what they’ve written on this subject.

This month’s edition of the Professional Organizers Blog Carnival is sponsored by Linda Samuels, owner of Oh, So Organized! and author of The Other Side of Organized. If you’ve met Linda or read her blog, you know that she’s truly passionate about this topic! And judging by the number of submissions, so are a lot of other people.

As you read the posts listed below, please connect with Linda and the other bloggers on social media, leave comments, and share your favorite posts with your own network. Please use the hashtags #POBC and #lettinggo in your social media posts.

Thank you to everyone who contributed!

Next month’s Blog Carnival is about Organizing on a Budget, and you may make your submission any time from now until Tuesday, July 18 at 7:00 PM EDT.

Please let me know if you’d like to suggest a topic or sponsor for a future edition!

    Wow is right! I agree with Sabrina that you’ve curated a wonderful selection of “letting go” posts. I’m so proud to be this month’s sponsor and look forward to reading all the interesting posts about one of my favorite and very relevant topics…letting go! Thank you, Janet, for the opportunity to participate, sponsor, and learn more from my organizing colleagues.

    This will be my evening entertainment–visiting with my organizer friends & learning from their wisdom and experience. Glad to be in such good company!! Thanks, Janet, for including such a useful topic and thanks, Linda, for sponsoring this edition of POBC.
