Portland (503) 928-6894Let’s get “GO”ing!
Monday January 23rd 2012
It’s GO (Get Organized!) Month and people across the nation ~ including Portland Metro! ~ are acting on their New Year’s Resolutions to clear the clutter from homes and office spaces.
Making a resolution is where it all starts. Declare it strong and declare it loud – and share it with others to make it real. The support will help you keep your commitment to yourself and also give you a great resource pool to transform your space into a one that that you love living in; one that is a reflection of “today’s” you.
As you’re planning this exciting transformation, I encourage you to get out and see “what’s new” in decluttering and design resources. Talk with experts in the field to get the scoop on the latest, greatest organizing alternatives. One of my favorite resources is the Oregon chapter of the National Association of Professional Organizers. They are a group of local professional organizers and associate business members dedicated to helping individuals and businesses bring order and efficiency to their lives.
Today’s blog is devoted to sharing an awesome NAPO event featuring educational sessions presented by professional organizers and six featured vendors that will be there to help make your space makeover experience exciting and enjoyable! If you live in the Portland Metro area, this may be just the boost you’re looking for! Plan to attend the 2012 NAPO Oregon Get Organized Educational Conference – it’s FREE! - in Portland /Tigard on Saturday, January 28th from 10am – 3pm. CLICK HERE for more details and to register!
