The Lazy Organizer Gives Advice

I received an organizing question yesterday from one of my blog readers, Rosie. I thought I would take the time to answer it here so I can feel like some sort of important advice columnist. Just don’t call me Dr. Laura! On second thought, if I’m really rude then maybe I can become a millionaire like her. Here goes…

Do you have any ideas on organizing those cubbies in closets? I thought about baskets but I just don't know if I am motivated enough to use them, then there is the problem of finding just the right size for the space.Help me my organized friend!

Hello Rosie,

First of all don’t even think about using baskets because you are a lazy slob. I have never had a close look at your home but I can tell from your letter that you have serious issues. Next, start right away by unloading all of your friends. Their dead weight is just holding you back from your organizational potential. Thirdly, make some time in your schedule to give your husband a foot massage every night when he comes home from work. This won’t help you become more organized but he deserves it after all that he does for you while you laze about the house all day. Lastly, everything you own is junk and you should get rid of it. Really, burn it if you have to. I can’t believe you actually drug all of it into your so called home. The only way to truly get organized is just to start over, especially for someone as indolent as you.

Write to me again if you manage to accomplish any of this, which I’m sure you won’t. Then I will decide if you are worth wasting any more of my valuable time on.

I’m The Lazy Organizer
Now go take on the rubbish!

Wow, that was more fun than I thought it was going to be! I think I have a real future in this sort of thing. Don’t you?
