Your life, labeled, then organized
Blogged under Gadgets, Household Necessities, Tot Wear and Decor by Melissa Segrest on Thursday 21 August 2008

It starts simply enough. The kids are going back to school, and you know they’re going to lose their pencils and lunchbags and backpacks, so you put labels on the stuff. Personalized labels look slick, and Web sites like Identikid and Identity Direct offer all kinds: vinyl, iron-on, labels for shoes, pencils, backpacks, markers. You can buy a Colour My World Pack with more than 100 personalized labels, or branch out into the house with a lap desk or bathroom mirror with your child’s name. Land’s End has lots of backpacks and lunch bags that can be personalized, and TeamLogo can make a bicycle plate with your child’s name for $4. Now that you’ve got the kids organized, you are probably feeling the urge to label more things. Get the LetraTag home labelmaker (the video on the site gives you lots of ideas about things to label) for $30 (pictured) or the nice-looking one on Amazon. Now you’re really starting to see clutter everywhere: the kitchen, the closets, the garage. This is where the Chronos personal organizer 4.5 software on Amazon for $95.15 could really help. But is that enough? Do you feel the need to be with others of your own kind? Read organizer blogs, like Virtually Organized (which shows you places to label you never thought of) or Unclutterer, which offers lots of wisdom, like clearing out all those pesky perfume bottles, a picture of the perfect workspace and guidance on uncluttering your brain! Has this search for organization nirvana made you nervous? Call in professionals. The folks from In Pefect Order will fly to your home, stay for a week and make everything in your life totally perfect for $5,500 (not including airfare, lodging and food).
