Why January and not some other month of the year?
Well, first, it’s the start of the year, so getting organized in January sets you up to create new organizational habits and nurture them throughout the year.
Also, the National Association of Productivity & Organization Professionals (NAPO) has declared January National Get Organized Month.
As a proud NAPO member, I’m excited to share my favorite blogs about organizing your time, digital space, and physical space to help you start this year off right.

Organizing Digital Space
If you’re like most of us, you spend countless hours in front of digital devices. Your computer, laptop, smartphone, etc. have become an extension of your living and working spaces. Disorganized devices add to your stress, even if you don’t realize it.
Fortunately, wrangling it back into submission takes a little time (see above to get a hold on that).
- Hackers can target anyone. It can be tricky to tell it’s happened, especially when you’re stressed and flustered every time you’re on a digital device. When hackers target your account, knowing what to saves you time and stress.

Organizing Physical Space
You’ve probably experienced this. You walk into your home or a specific room and feel stressed.
Maybe you’re not sure why at first, but as you look around, you realize it’s just a mess.
A pile of dishes in the sink and clutter piling up on tables.
The closets are exploding, and you can’t find your favorite shirt. Ugh!
Now is the time to take your space back and enjoy living and working in it again.

- Clutter! If your house is anything like mine, the family walks in the door and tosses stuff on tables, countertops, or any available surface. After a while, it almost becomes part of the background, even though it also looks and feels lousy. You and your family can get those spaces back with these decluttering hints.
