Store your jewelry with the Gem Genie

Clutter Coach

by Today’s post is about the Gem Genie , a jewelry organizer created by local gal Brody McHugh, who lives in Mill Valley. Brody’s inspiration was her own jewelry drawer. Over time, she’d collected stacks of tiny boxes, larger boxes, zippered bags, bags with little snaps, etc. Her jewelry took up a lot of space in an awkward configuration. All the containers were opaque so she often hunted for particular pieces, or forgot about them entirely.

Myths About Being Organized

Clutter Coach

by When I taught organizing skills at adult school, I devised this matrix to bust some myths about organized people. I did it because I realized that many students, although they’d paid money and were attending the class, had some negative ideas about what being organized means. I also knew that my students weren’t going to get very far if they thought that the place they were going wasn’t any fun!
