>>>>www.simpleliving.net/webofsimplicity/the-movement.asp - For a site that celehrates simplicity, thisone sure is cluttered and is not easy to maneuver. Maybe it is my monitor's screen size, but some text was jammed together. Nevertheless, there is a simplicity movement out there, originally inspired by Henry David Thoreau, author of Walden Pond, which is a nice book to read about living without a lot of stuff.

ADD Tips for Organization - 
http://add.about.com/library/blotip.htm Having just recently been identified as having Attention Deficit Disorder (see book ADD-Friendly Ways to Clear Your Clutter for some more insight into how ADD creates chaos and disorganization) I am exploring ADD resources. Please feel free to add more here. This site has a number of categories regarding ORGANIZATION from workplace to home.

Barefoot Lass -  this is a neat site by someone with a great sense of fun with lots of cool tips, fromhow to get get rid of crayon stains to how to make your own skin care products. |
Cluterers Anonymous 12-step group -  I think this might be a better alternative to Messies Anonymous. They seem more responsive. And they offer a 12-step program.

Frugal Village - 
This website has a lot of ideas for making good use of what you have, but beware getting caught up the "stockpiling" aspects of this website because we are about Letting Go. However, under the "articles" section there are a collection of writings on organization and decluttering that are inspiring and have good tips. You don't have to join to browse most of this site. http://www.frugalvillage.com/articles/organization.cgi Enjoy (graphic above was created by Deb Harris at http://www.wonderflight.com )

OnlineOrganzing - This site has books, tapes, a newsletter, organizing products for each room of the house. Some of the products are pretty pricey so you might want to just get inspiration here and then maybe see if you can find similar items at thecontainerstore.com or your local discount store.

Sort It Out page -  This site is recommended by Messies Anonymous. She gives a few tips, but nothing new here that I could see. On the other hand, if you happen to live in Southern Florda, she gives Sort It Out workshops. She also sells an audiotape of her lecture(s). Apparently she is a professional organizer! The fact that such a designation exists should give you heart, since this means there must be an awful lot of people overwhelmed by stuff and clutter. Apparently there is even a national organization of professional organizers. Another aspect of the site that might give you inspiration is the "before" and "AFTER" photo's of places where she helped peopel dig out and get organized.
