Renting Your House for the DNC?

May 9, 2012 By Leave a Comment

We, at Simplicity Organizers, are preparing for the 2012 Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Charlotte this September.  Several of our clients have explored renting their homes during the DNC and have asked us to help them ready their space for this rare opportunity.  We have collaborated with Trent Corbin of Providence Property Management to provide some tips on how to prepare and rent your home during the DNC.

Marketing your DNC Rental

When marketing your DNC rental, Trent says the most important aspect of any listing is the photography.  Many visitors arriving in Charlotte for the Convention will not have been able to see their accommodations first-hand before signing a lease, which makes the photos in online listings critical to a potential renter’s success. Hiring an organizing company before taking photographs can be time and money well-spent. Potential renters will see your home as neat, spacious and efficient. Keep in mind most DNC visitors preferred a hotel room, but unable to find one, they’re considering a rental.  If your home or condo is cluttered, your listing will scarcely get a glance.

The primary rooms and areas of interest are:

  • Living Space – Picture this: You’re a lobbyist attending the Convention.  At the end of a long day of events and networking, when you come home to your “home away from home, you want to relax.  Does your living space fit that bill? Or are magazines piled high on the end table and video games scattered on the floor?  A potential renter will wonder if this clutter going to be there when they arrive.  Don’t give them reasons to pass on your rental, especially when the fixes can be so easy!
  • Kitchen – Visitors during the DNC aren’t going to be doing much cooking, but they might be entertaining with a caterer. A quality kitchen always adds value when marketing your home.  You don’t need to upgrade to stainless steel and granite, but you DO need to put away the dish soap and dirty kitchen towels and clear the countertops of miscellany.  If your refrigerator is covered in children’s art and magnets, please take them down for your rental photographs.
  • Bedrooms – The master bedroom needs to shine. That’s where the renter will be sleeping and they’re hoping for luxury.  Kids’ rooms are tough to market for the DNC. Most attendees won’t be bringing their families. Simplicity’s team can assist you in turning your kids’ cluttered spaces into rooms that look like inviting for executive, lobbyist or media personality.
  • Bathrooms – These are always challenging because they are often tight spaces with lots of mirrors that make for difficult photography.  Simplicity Organizers can help you reduce the clutter so your bathroom shines.  (Remember: always keep the toilet seats down when taking bathroom photographs!)
  • Exterior – This one is pretty simple.  As a DNC attendee, I might be entertaining at your home so it needs to look polished and presentable. I need to know your garage isn’t filled with a bunch of sports equipment and tools if I plan to park my company car.  I would also prefer not to have to use a machete to hack through your overgrown bushes to get to the door.  Make it look clean, make it look nice and make it look organized.   It’s as simple as that.

If you’re thinking about renting your home during the DNC, contact Trent at Providence Property Management today, but first, make sure your home is organized and ready for photographs and marketing materials.  Yes, it may cost you money up front to prepare before renting your home, but the money you make from the rental and a highly organized home when you return, will be worth the upfront investment!

Organizing Your Garage

May 2, 2012 By Leave a Comment

It’s time to vote for one lucky winner to take back their garage – with style! Carolina Custom Garages, Simplicity Organizers and Rubbish Works have teamed up to help one lucky Charlotte home-owner get their garage in gear – for free!

Rubbish Works will haul away the donations and trash, Simplicity will organize what remains and Carolina Custom Garages will tie it all together with their custom garage organization system.

Check out the messy garage photos of the Top 10 Finalists and select the garage you think should win the garage makeover by clicking on the heart, the Facebook Like or the Twitter Tweet under the photo of the garage you wish to win.  Voting is open to all this week. The winner will be posted on our blog on May 7th.

For those of you who want to organize your own garage, we’ve shared our organizing tips below.

ORGANIZING YOUR GARAGE

When it comes to organizing, the garage suffers an identity crisis.  Is it part of the house or not?  Does it merit a high level of “spiffing “ or does anything go?  Is it a place to park cars or is that fantasy thinking?

Regardless of how you view your garage, some organizing can be helpful.  Now’s a great time to tackle this project while the weather is mild and the children are still in school.

With garages, the contents may be different from what’s in your house, but the organizing process is the same.  First, envision how you want your garage to function- what’s working and what’s not? Then, it’s time to roll up your sleeves.

Sort and Purge

Everything comes out and is separated into one of three piles- keep, donate or toss.

Reorganize

All the keepers are stored with like kind, with most frequently used items being easily accessible.  Open wire shelving is an excellent, affordable option for keeping things off the floor and in easy reach.  Shelf height can be adjusted to accommodate your needs.  If your budget permits, a custom installed garage storage system is as good as it gets.

Contain

When practical, use clear, lidded containers for storage.   Dirt and bugs will be minimized and small items won’t be lost.


Label

If you have a label maker, use it.  If not, consider buying one.  It’s a purchase you won’t regret.

Discard / Donate 

Don’t sabotage your project by letting trash and donations linger.  Call the city for an extra trash pickup and load the car with donations.  If you’ve got a mountain of discards, using a professional rubbish removal service to haul it all away will be money well-spent.

Finally, under “misery loves company”, take a look at the entries in Simplicity’s Messiest Garage Contest.  And for inspiration, see the winner’s before and after photos which will be posted on our blog soon!

“Happy Wife = Happy Life”

April 25, 2012 By Leave a Comment

By Steve Repak, CFP

After serving 12 years in the Army, frequently moving from one duty station to another, I can proudly say that I had become pretty good at packing and moving. The part of moving that I was not that good at was the unpacking part.  For any of you that were ever in the military or had a job where you were required to move often, I know you can relate. 

After years of accumulating many unopened boxes I started running out of room where to put them.  I came up with a great plan for my last move.  I made sure I bought a house with a basement in order to have a place to hide all of those boxes.  It seemed like a good plan at the time but after a few years living in the house my plan started to unravel.  As long as those boxes were out of sight, they were out of mind.  That was until one winter morning my wife came up from the basement and asked me when I would go through those boxes. I told her that I would make it a priority once the weather warmed up because the basement was unheated.  Once spring arrived, the weather started getting warmer and I was nicely reminded to go through those boxes.  Since the weather was nicer I sure didn’t want to spend any time in a basement when it was so beautiful outside.  Once summer came, it was too hot to work down in the basement.  Eventually fall arrived and I am sad to say my wife starting losing patience with me.  I was all out of excuses and now I was out of time.

 I learned a long time ago “Happy Wife = Happy Life” so I had to make it a priority to get my basement in order and make my wife happy if I wanted to be happy.  On a Sunday morning I was reading the Mecklenburg Times when I came across an article about this company “Simplicity Organizers” that was able to help a Charlotte family with a problem of hoarding.  I thought it was awesome that there were people out there that could make a difference in other people’s lives so the following morning I called them up.  On the phone, they explained the process from beginning to end and then scheduled a time for the initial assessment.  When they arrived they were extremely professional and courteous. Within a few days they called back up with a game plan and a date to start.  They were really easy to get along with and fun to work with.  They were able to unpack all of those boxes, categorize the mess into keep, donate, or trash, and organize my stuff in a quick and timely fashion. They didn’t do it for free but it was definitely worth the money.

 In my book “Dollars & Uncommon Sense” I explain that the things that are important to you are the things you spend your time and money on.  I made it a priority to get my boxes unpacked and my mess organized.  I spent my money on something I should have done a long time ago, which made my wife happy and I am glad to say, that I have a Happy Life!

2012 Messiest Garage Contest – Get Your Garage In Gear!

April 11, 2012 By Leave a Comment

It’s time for one lucky winner to take back their garage – with style!  Carolina Custom Garages, Simplicity Organizers and Rubbish Works have teamed up to help you get your garage in gear – for free!

From April 11 – 27, residents in the Charlotte-Metro, North Carolina area can send in a photo of their messy garage along with a note as to why their garage should be picked to win the garage makeover.

Rubbish Works will haul away the trash, Simplicity will organize what remains and Carolina Custom Garages will tie it all together with their custom garage organization systems.

Garages can be tough places to de-clutter and organize. It is often one of the most serious problem areas in a home.  Because it’s not actual living space, it’s easy for a homeowner to let organizing standards slip.

With all the “stuff” jammed into this one space the goal of actually parking a car in the garage is abandoned.  Before you know it, a garage is no more than a storage unit attached to a home.  Without some serious elbow grease and the assistance of professionals, items in an overwhelmed garage are lost to homeowners forever.

How to Enter and Win:

1)           Take a photo of your garage.
2)          Email the following to messiestgarage@gmail.com by April 27, 11:59 pm.

  • Garage photo(s) along with your full name, home address, phone number, and email address.
  • How you heard about the contest.
  • A note telling us why your garage deserves to win.

3)          On April 30, Simplicity will post the top 10 finalist.
4)          Voting open from April 30  until May 6. Tell your friends and family to vote for your garage.
5)          Winner announced May 7!

The Art of Moving – A Moving Testimonial

April 3, 2012 By Leave a Comment

By Lori Martin, Owner, Founder and Chief Operating Mom of The Purple Martin & Co.

Several months ago, our family of 5 (2 adults, 3 children and all 6 pets) moved ~ we sold our home and were off to new adventures. Due to the overwhelming feeling and all the moving parts along  with packing for the big move on the horizon, I had to wave my white flag of surrender and ask for help.  I needed this transition to a new home to be as smooth as possible.  Thankfully I had a resource to call.

A team of professional organizers came to my rescue.  With very little notice, Simplicity arrived and listened intently to me as I described my packing needs room by room, what we should take to the rental home, and what we should unpack once we got there.

When the day came for Simplicity to come over to help me organize before the packers arrived ~ I was in near panic mode.  I had never moved 3 kids, 4 frogs, 1 fish and a dog ~ let alone ALL of the  9 year of “stuff” that comes along with our family.

Thankfully, Simplicity spent three hours with me, helping me sort, label, purge, and organize in preparation for packing the next day.  While I was on hand to answer any questions they had, Simplicity worked seamlessly to provide order to my complete chaos.

What did I learn that day?

1. You don’t want to move trash ~ literally, if you have not emptied your waste cans on packing day, the packers will pack your garbage!

2. When you are moving to a rental home, you don’t want to unpack everything ~ organize items into pack-and-store piles versus high frequency essentials you must pack-and-open in the rental home.

3. Purge before you pack ~ if you haven’t used an item by the time you move, chances are you will not use it in the new home.  Save money by purging before you pay the packers by the hour ~ or before you take the time to pack it yourself ~ those boxes are expensive!

On moving day, my house of boxes was loaded onto the moving truck one at a time and four hours later we were unloading the truck at the rental house.  As the boxes came pouring into the new home, Simplicity arrived right on schedule to help turn the sea of chaos into organized bliss one box at a time.

Here’s how it went …

~ Boxes were  packed and labeled based on Simplicity’s pre-packing assistance (labeling and sorting).

~ As each box came off the truck it went to the room it was labeled for ~ i.e. master bedroom, laundry room etc.

~ Once the boxes for a particular room were unpacked, Simplicity swooped in to literally put the ENTIRE room’s contents away in a SUPER organized manner!

We’re talking bathroom drawers lined, socks put in the appropriate sock drawer, towels folded and placed with care in the linen closet, beds made, books organized on the bookshelves, clothes hung in the closet, shoes placed neatly on racks and much more!

The biggest help was in the kitchen!  While I would have spent an entire week figuring out where to put the plates versus the Tupperware, Simplicity has done this so many times that in the matter of an hour, my entire kitchen and pantry was organized better than I would have EVER done it myself!

I have to tell you the entire move-in was perfectly streamlined!  By 9pm (remember the move day started at 8am) my children were sleeping in their made beds (dust ruffles on!) with the entire contents of their rooms organized and put away (clothes, toys, books, toothbrushes!!), my husband and I were relaxing on the sofa and the entire house full of boxes had been unpacked and properly put in its new home (unless it had been labeled storage and we had it stacked in the garage for the next move).

The icing on the cake was a walk through of where everything was located.   Simplicity arranged to come over the next day to show me how everything was organized and explained why certain items landed in certain places.  Their logic was flawless and the execution was perfect!

The biggest compliment I can give is that this entire experience was worth every penny.

What is the Number One Way to Reduce Paper Clutter? GO PAPERLESS!

March 29, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Though going paperless will involve some initial time and energy, the long-term results will provide you with a less cluttered home, peace of mind and a more efficient workspace.

 

Top 5 Reasons to Go Paperless:

1. Go Green!  Going paperless reduces the number of trees sacrificed each year.

2. Increased efficiency and creativity!  Less paper = more productivity. With fewer papers on your desk, you not only clear space for productivity, you clear space for creative thoughts!

3. Decreases Clutter!  Having fewer papers piled on your desk and around your office limits the risk of losing important documents.

4. Reduces operating costs!  As the paper grows, so do your storage and supply costs.  Going paperless also prevents you from spending money on office supplies like filing cabinets, files, envelopes, checks, and stamps.

5. Provides Tighter Security!  Paper documents are subject to both identity theft and destruction from natural disasters.

 

Ways to Go Paperless:

  • Sign up for online banking
  • Use online bill pay services
  • Cancel junk mail, magazine and newspaper subscriptions
  • Purchase a scanner
    Option: Fujitsu ScanSnap


Important to Remember When Deciding to Go Paperless:

  • Back up your computer either through an external hard drive or preferably, online!
    Option: Carbonite
  • Start right where you are. Don’t worry about going back and trying to scan a lot of old information at first. Set up files on your computer that mimic your paper files. Over time your paper files will diminish.

Top 10 Retrieval System Tips

March 21, 2012 By Leave a Comment

By Laurie Martin, CPO.

In order for information to be readily retained and retrieved, you need an efficient system.

1. Alphabetize your files! Make sure the categories are not too general, otherwise the file becomes a disorganized “catch-all” and your good intentions will be sabotaged. Categorize and sub-categorize in a way that works for you!

2. Use sturdy hanging file folders with clear tabs. The colored tabs are harder to read. For the cleanest look, use a labeler, but neatly handwritten tabs are fine too.

3. For big files, use box bottom hanging files that accommodate multiple interior file folders.

4. Leave 1/4 of file cabinet drawer space empty to allow for additions to existing files. An overly full file cabinet is hard to use. Better to buy another cabinet than try to stuff more papers into the existing one.

5. If there is flexibility in space, consider your hand dominance when placing file cabinets or boxes in relation to your desk or workspace. What’s accessible for a right-handed person might be awkward for a left-handed person.

6. Center all labels rather than staggering them laterally. This seems counter-intuitive, but it really does make for easier viewing.

7. Try to avoid a “to file” box on your desk or kitchen counter. The need for this intermediate holding area is an indication that your filing system is too complicated or inaccessible. Figure out what’s not working and correct it.

8. Keep tax files in a separate file box- clearly labeled by year. You probably won’t need to frequently access them, but when you do, it’s a relief to be able to find what you need quickly.

9. Have the proper supplies on hand and the right amount of them – most systems fail because people run out of the supplies needed to maintain the system.

10. Year end is good time to purge files and create new ones for the upcoming year. Begin to get financial information ready for tax preparation and purge on-going files.

Remember that it’s much easier to keep up than to catch up!

Procrastination

March 7, 2012 By Leave a Comment

By Robin McCoy.

“Nothing is so fatiguing as the eternal hanging on of an uncompleted task.” ~William James

When we willingly defer something even though we expect the delay to make us worse off, we’re procrastinating. (per Piers Steel)  And most of us are guilty as charged. It’s so easy to find a distraction that doesn’t demand much commitment that avoiding a demanding task or project is commonplace. But dragging our feet doesn’t make the job go away.  It only makes us feel guilty, inadequate and ultimately overwhelmed.

Procrastination has many faces.  The thrill-seeker loves the euphoric rush of waiting until the last minute. The avoider often has unrealistic expectations or a serious case of perfectionism.  The decision avoider feels that by dilly-dallying, he’s absolved of any responsibility for the outcome.

Procrastination might be a basic impulse, but it’s also bad habit. It’s costly and anxiety producing.  Failing to file taxes on time results in fines.  Late papers and projects can mean failing grades. Dithering over a decision often closes the door on options.

Here’s a procrastination conundrum:  Avoiding the onerous task doesn’t seem to make people happy.  This is what William James was talking about.  Not doing something we know needs to be done is exhausting and defeating.  In our heart of hearts, we know that “One of these days is none of these days.” Henri Tubach

So how can we overcome the tendency to dawdle?  Try better planning.  Set deadlines or have others set them for you and impose penalties for failure to comply. Expect interruptions- they’re part of life so give yourself enough time to complete the project even if the roof springs a leak or the dog goes missing.

Divide projects into smaller parts, each with better definition so the tasks are concrete and you don’t have to think about how to start.  Restrict your options.   If you need to buy a new washing machine, determine your budget. Ask two friends for recommendations.  Read several consumer reviews.  Pick one that looks good enough- no expectation of perfection. Buy the darn thing!

Will power has been compared to a muscle that can be strengthened through exercise.  Making now the time to act, paves the way for that pattern to more easily be repeated.  You can become one of those people who accomplish things in a timely fashion.  The best way to get something done is to begin.

Resources:
Getting Things Done by David Allen is full of time-management tips.
