Learning to Organize in 140 Characters or Less

So I am a little behind the times… I just joined Twitter.
I stubbornly dragged my feet with Facebook and then had to reluctantly admit it was kind of fun. But with Twitter, I have dived in head first! I had no idea twitter was such a wealth of information! And I am not referring to gossip and what random people ate for lunch. There are some real tidbits of organizing knowledge out there!

After a tutorial from my social media guru, about retweeting and what the # means, (it is called hashtagging and when you put # symbol in front of a word or phase it collects all the tweets with that word together in a nice little package) @wecreatespace was up and running. During my twitter explorations, I collected a few of my favorite tweets to share with you.

I found some fabulous one liners.

From @Neato Organizing – There is no ONE way to be organized. You are an organizational snowflake.

From @Julie Morgenstrn – Decluttering will not create a system… it will help you mange change.

Another gem from @Julie Morgenstrn – Go room by room, think it through when you create really simple systems that are repeatable.

My browser quickly became overloaded with all the links to interesting articles too.

@Peter_Walsh – A QUICK DECLUTTERING REFRESHER – What better time to brush up on some simple decluttering tips and ideas than at… http://fb.me/wxAvjhff

The article was worth it all for this line-

“If you focus on the stuff, you will never get organized. Focus on the space, and what you want from it.”

Love that! (Read more: Declutter diet has moving parts – The Denver Post)

We all can use tips for procrastination.

It doesn’t get much better than this! I found a picture of Peter Walsh’s bathroom!
From @Peter_Walsh – CLUTTER CHALLENGE 3 – BATHROOM MEDICINE CABINET & DRAWERS: Who knows what’s living in those bathroom drawers?… http://fb.me/V2WIYlqI

From @MarianSchembari – Thank you God for showing me this picture http://ow.ly/46ay1

And from @organize – Take just 10 minutes & organize something in arms reach. That briefcase? Files on ur computer desktop? Desk drawer? Hop to it and enjoy! 🙂
We must be related, joined by our love of 10 Minute Organizing. I had to retweet that one!

To sum up my social media education, a tweet by @markwschaefer retweeted by @MarianSchembari – Twitter: I need to pee. FB: I peed! 4square: Peeing here! Quora: Why do I pee? YouTube: Watch me pee! LnkdIn: I pee so well.
