WELL, the biggest lesson learned is in this video. Watch to find out. ## I will warn you, there are just some things we SHEs should not attempt.   [I Hope You'll Want To Read More...](https://blog.cluborganized.com/success-in-spite-of-a-failed-garden) # [7 Guidelines to Dress for Success at Home](https://blog.cluborganized.com/7-rules-to-dress-for-success-at-home-0) Posted by [Pam Young](https://blog.cluborganized.com/author/pam-young) Sep 18, 2017 6:28:00 AM [![](https://blog.cluborganized.com/hubfs/pajamas_at_the_store.jpg) ](https://blog.cluborganized.com/7-rules-to-dress-for-success-at-home-0)   If you have a home-based business (38 million Americans do and $427 billion per year is made by them), or you are a full-time peacekeeper and peacemaker at home, or you’re doing both, this blog is for you. When you think about it, every institution has its “costume.” Prisons, hospitals, courtrooms, restaurants, car repair shops, beauty salons and the list could go on-and-on. But if you Google, *Dress for Success at Home* you’ll get a gob of photos of people in offices, outside big city buildings and walking on sidewalks all dressed for success for business ***outside*** the home. Hey, you don’t need to look like a Wall Street tycoon to work at home, but there are some important guidelines for you to follow if you want success and to feel good about your work and yourself.     When you’re home all day, if you’re not careful you’ll end up in recluse attire! You know, your pajamas. God knows they’re comfortable and cozy and if you don’t have some style boundaries, you could hang out in them for days. That’s probably what’s happened when you see an adult in the grocery store in pajamas. Just remember, this person could be contributing to that $427 billion dollars!    Actually working at home as a full-time caregiver or an at-home entrepreneur or both, you actually need a wardrobe that changes during the day. Before you panic, the changes are simple, and will save you time, money and peace of mind in the long run.   **1.   Pajamas are for sleeping.** Dress in your jammies right before bed as part of your before bed routine. In the morning, get dressed for the next activity which might be exercise, housework, office work, yard work depending on your daily schedule. When you work at home, if you stay in your nightwear, you invariably have that somebody-might-come-over monkey on your shoulder. For your peace of mind, get dressed first thing in the morning.   [I Hope You'll Want To Read More...](https://blog.cluborganized.com/7-rules-to-dress-for-success-at-home-0) Topics: [On Being Organized / Disorganized](https://blog.cluborganized.com/topic/on-being-organized-disorganized), [succeed](https://blog.cluborganized.com/topic/succeed), [stay at home mom](https://blog.cluborganized.com/topic/stay-at-home-mom) # [Don't Fold Your Clean Sheets!

That's why creative people love to putter around. But it's hard to putter when there's too much clutter. So if your only reason to declutter is so you'll have more free time to putter, it's a good enough reason. The best question to ask yourself when you have a decluttering session is:   **Would I buy this at Goodwill?**   In deciding what to keep and what to get rid of, ask this question: ‘Would I buy this at Goodwill?’” Just that question opens your eyes to the item you’re looking at. If you were at Goodwill, would you buy this? Because when you’re buying something secondhand, you take your blinders off and put your examination lenses on. **I Was Blind and Now I See!  ** At home, your blinders allow you to relax in private and not see what you don’t want to see, just like your sunglasses keep the sun from hurting your eyes. Your home isn’t subject to scrutiny until you’re going to have company at which time you get out your examination glasses and see with “company eyes.” If you'll put your timer on for 15 minutes and spend that time looking for stuff you wouldn’t buy at Goodwill, you’ll probably be able to fill up a box to give away or pitch. As I wrote that sentence, it inspired me to do just that. So, I’ll be back in 15 minutes if I don’t get sidetracked and end up taking a bath or sweeping the deck.   [I Hope You'll Want To Read More...](https://blog.cluborganized.com/declutter-and-have-more-time-to-putter) Topics: [De-Cluttering](https://blog.cluborganized.com/topic/de-cluttering) # [10 Simple Ways to Declutter Your Home!](https://blog.cluborganized.com/10-easy-ways-to-declutter-your-home-0) Posted by [Pam Young](https://blog.cluborganized.com/author/pam-young) Sep 13, 2017 6:00:00 AM [![](https://blog.cluborganized.com/hubfs/DSC_8709.jpg) ](https://blog.cluborganized.com/10-easy-ways-to-declutter-your-home-0)   # It’s no secret that kajillions are deluged by household clutter.   Flylady says; “The most common clutter hot spots are children's bedrooms, home offices, attics, and garages.” What does it take to create a clutter-free space? Here are my **10** best home organization strategies straight from my book, [*The Joy of Being Disorganized*. ](https://www.cluborganized.com/the-joy-of-being-disorganized) [![Please accept this free chapter from my new book.](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/341571/5a21157f-3b07-4b78-bcd3-c39ac34ee38f.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/341571/5a21157f-3b07-4b78-bcd3-c39ac34ee38f) ### **1. Stop Homelessness** One of the main reasons stuff piles up on counters, dining tables, coffee tables and floors is that it’s homeless. When an item has no "home," it gets added to an IPOD  (Important Pile Of Decisions). **The free chapter I'm giving you has great information about the IPODs in your home and how to eliminate them.** That’s why it’s important to make sure everything in your home lives somewhere. “Homing” items in the room where they're used, helps ensure that they get put away when you're finished. For example, I keep a sewing kit in a drawer of an end table in my living room, because I like to mend garments in that room and not in my sewing room in the basement. ### **2. Stop Clutter at the Cash Register ** Use that, waiting-to-buy time when you’re standing in line at the cash register, to re-think what’s in your hands or cart. Imagine it as clutter. What you buy today can turn into clutter tomorrow. The better you are about keeping things *out* of your home, the less likely you’ll be to create IPODs when you get home. ### **3. Baby Step your Way to Clutter-free ** Start with the room that’s bothering you the most. (In my 40-year career helping moms get organized, the kitchen is the room most picked.) Marla Cilley, the Flylady says, “Start by shining your kitchen sink.” That’s so brilliant! In order to keep your sink shiny, you have to keep it empty. In order to keep it empty, you and your family have to put dirty dishes in the dishwasher. In order to put dirty dishes in the dishwasher, it has to be empty!

We all know someone who's on one and they're not that fun to be around. But if someone can be on a high horse, then being on a low one is certainly possible! Being around a person on a low horse isn't fun either. In my career helping SHEs get organized, I've never had to suggest getting off a "high horse" but much of my help has come from getting a person off her "low horse." Being on a "low horse" is that feeling you're not good enough. Feeling that way can come from thinking you've failed at something and especially when it comes from the subject of being organized.   How many times have you made "get organized" be your New Year's Resolution? When it comes to getting organized, it’s such a juicy project complete with visions of peace, joy, beauty and order in your home. But if you’re not careful, the thrill of the thought of victory can end in the agony of feeling defeated. It’s hard being human, but it’s even harder when you beat yourself up because you're disorganized and didn’t achieve what you set out to accomplish because of it.  Getting organized just enough to please you is so simple, but being a creative, you can blow the whole project up like it’s a major motion picture. Because you are creative, there’s nothing you love more than a new project, except for maybe breakfast, lunch and dinner! You get so excited and enthusiastic as you dive into a new mission with astonishing glee. But like the poem you learned when you were a kid, “First came love, then came marriage, then came pushing a baby carriage,” projects have a honeymoon period and then the reality of the situation kicks in and the work can be a drag if you're not careful.

(If you don't know what that is, you'll learn about it if you read on.) When we got home from Italy last week, at 2:00 am (11 the next day in Italy) we walked into our home, exhausted after 24 hours of travel. The first thing I did was go out on our deck to see if the Wisteria had engulfed it. (It grows up one leg of our deck and completely surrounds the railing on three sides.) While surveying the 20 inches of new growth on that busy bush, a bat flew into our house and for the next ½ hour, Terry and I took turns ducking as it recklessly flew at us from the living room to the kitchen frantically searching for an escape route. (Sounds like a great computer game to play...Bat the Jet Laggers.) It was a big bat with a furry wing-span of about a foot! (Having a bat in my house is as terrifying to me as having a terrorist in it, leaping from chair to table to counter itching to use his oozy.) At one point the bat's radar must have miss-fired for he and Terry bumped heads! That’s when we decided to leave the sliding, glass door to the deck open with the light on outside, turn off all lights on the inside, hope he'd go to the light, take our chances chipmunks or raccoon didn’t decide to move in and flop into bed, thoroughly exhausted.

It featured real-life couples and the juicy details of their marital issues. As I recall, the columns were split into three parts: a wife’s viewpoint, her husband’s perspective and then a final judgment by a counselor from the American Institute of Family Relations (AIFR). AIFR was a successful, but now defunct, center founded in the 1930s by “Dr.” Popenoe. (He wasn’t REALLY a doctor or even a psychologist. He did have an honorary degree as a eugenicist, which is one who believes and practices improving the genetic quality of a group of individuals. He must have been more concerned about improving the male of the species, because more often than not, the pretend doctor’s counselors found a way to pin problems on the wives, calling them “childish,” “juvenile,” “emotionally immature” and “frigid,” for example. I remember my mom reading the column and when I was a young mother, I would've been interested in it if it had addressed the issue of being disorganized, and how it affects marriages. That problem certainly affected my first marriage, big time! Has disorganization affected your relationships in a negative way? If Dr. Popenoe were still alive, I wonder what he and his counselors would conclude from this letter from a very distraught woman.   [I Hope You'll Want To Read More...](https://blog.cluborganized.com/can-this-relationship-be-saved) Topics: [On Being Organized / Disorganized](https://blog.cluborganized.com/topic/on-being-organized-disorganized) # [Thank You for Your Volunteer Service!!](https://blog.cluborganized.com/thank-you-for-your-volunteer-service) Posted by [Pam Young](https://blog.cluborganized.com/author/pam-young) Aug 30, 2017 5:00:00 AM [![](https://blog.cluborganized.com/hubfs/Brenda%20Lovell%20mom%20with%209%20girls.jpg) ](https://blog.cluborganized.com/thank-you-for-your-volunteer-service) **Quote:**  "I am responsible for creating a climate of love, peace, joy, beauty and order in my home. I am raising responsible, future citizens of the United States of America. What do you do?" Pam Young & Peggy Jones   Have you ever heard the term, "You are TOAST?" When someone is "toast" it means they are up the creek, finished, exposed or kaput. Have you ever heard this term? "I am JAM." Ahh, but you really have heard it because we hear it all the time when we're out and about. See JAM is an acronym for Just A Mom. (This mom had nine girls! Brenda Lovell thank you for your volunteer service!) When I hear a woman say, "I'm just a mom," I can't help myself; I have to say to that person, "You are NOT JAM, you are responsible for creating a climate of love, peace, joy, beauty and order in your home. You are raising future responsible, happy citizens of the United States of America. You are THE most valuable worker in our country and your "volunteer" service is appreciated by those of us who know the extent of that service and have reaped the benefits. And anyone who thinks you are JAM is TOAST in my humble opinion." As I was writing that paragraph above I thought to myself, 'maybe I should save this to send out on Mother's Day,' but I don't believe in Mother's Day. I think it's just a way for Hallmark and Pro Flowers to stay in business. I think every day should be Mother's Day and we should all be on the lookout to help moms whenever we can; especially single moms. And if you are a mom, don't say you're jam. If someone asks you, "What do you do?" say, "I am responsible for creating a climate of love, peace, joy, beauty and order in my home. I am raising future responsible, citizens of (name your country). What do you do?" I received an email from a treasured subscriber, Margaret. I shared her message with all of her fellow subscribers and it created a shocking volume of positive response. Here's what Margaret sent to me. Dear Pam  I was reading the introduction to a book about William Penn, founder of Pennsylvania. The introduction was written by James Scott Brady, the man who was shot by John Hinckley Jr. in an attempt to assassinate former President Ronald Reagan. His introduction was titled, "On Facing Adversity."  Here is the excerpt that inspired me. I hope it inspires others. * "To people who face and defeat daunting obstacles, "ambition" is not  becoming wealthy or famous or winning elections or awards. Words like  "ambition" and "achievement" and "success" take on very different  meanings. The objective is just to live, to wake up every morning. The  goals are not lofty; they are very ordinary.  "My own heroes are ordinary folks -- but they accomplish extraordinary  things because they try. My greatest hero is my wife, Sarah. She's  accomplished a lot of things in life, but two stand out. The first has  been the way she has cared for me and our son since I was shot. A  tremendous tragedy and burden was dropped unexpectedly into her life,  totally beyond her control and without justification. She could have  given up; instead, she focused her energies on preserving our family  and returning our lives to normal as much as possible. Week by week,  month by month, year by year, she has not reached for the miraculous,  just for the normal. Yet in focusing on the normal, she has helped  accomplish the miraculous."  *Did you catch that? Sarah had very ordinary goals. She plodded along,  day by day, week by week, month by month.... and by reaching for  normal, she attained the miraculous. This could be applied to cleaning  our houses, or getting out of debt, or restoring a broken  relationship. It may seem that getting our lives or houses in order  would take a miracle, but by plodding along day by day, week by week,  we too can attain the miraculous.  Thanks for reading,  Margaret Bechtel * * Pam here: You are not JAM!

Do you ache to see famous points of interest like the Eiffel Tower, the Tahj Mahal or to meet Michael Angelo's David even though he's naked? When you hear about a friend or neighbor getting to go on a cruise or spending time in Paris, London, Amsterdam, Hawaii or just about anywhere short of North Korea, do you find yourself craving to go and feeling bad because you can’t? Do your travel dreams get squashed because of your workload, lack of money, too many kids to take along or a bunch of other reasons?   Mom always wanted to travel when my sister Peggy and I were growing up, but we never got to go very far because we didn’t have the money and Dad couldn’t take time off from work. But that didn’t stop Mom from planning! Bless her little, organized heart; she subscribed to “Holiday Magazine,” a glitzy periodical for the rich (and we weren’t)! It even looked and felt expensive because it was in full color and heavy because every page was almost as thick as the slick cover. Also, it was filled with lots of ads for diamond jewelry and fancy cars in addition to the places it urged us to go. Mom plotted out trips complete with itineraries, destinations for dining, recreation, accommodations and such, and collected them all in her cherished box of travel dreams; her version of a bucket list, where they all waited for the day they’d take us away. We never went.   [I Hope You'll Want To Read More...](https://blog.cluborganized.com/back-from-italy-glad-to-be-home) [Previous](https://blog.cluborganized.com/author/pam-young/page/29) [All posts](https://blog.cluborganized.com/all) [Next](https://blog.cluborganized.com/author/pam-young/page/31) ### Subscribe to Pam's Blog! ### Recommended Posts ### Posts by Month -
