Joy: WELCOME BACK.
WE ARE TRAPPED AT HOME ALL THE
TIME.
I WAS SET UP AHEAD TIME I WILL
DO THIS OR THAT I WOULD CLEAN
THIS OUT.
IT IS TIME TO GET ORGANIZED.
ARE YOU DOING IT?
I DOUBT IT!
THE QUEEN OF ORGANIZATION,
BETSY MILLER IS HERE TO SAVE US
AND GET US TO DO THE THINGS WE
SAID WE'RE GOING TO DO.
YOU'RE GOING TO TALK TO US
TODAY ABOUT SMALL VICTORIES.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN ABOUT THAT?
YOU KNOW, FIRST OF ALL, HOW
ARE YOU?
THANK YOU FOR CALLING ME!
SMALL VICTORIES, THIS IS NO
DIFFERENT THAN WHAT I WOULD SAY
BEFORE ALL OF THE STARTER WHICH
IS, BREAK IT DOWN INTO
MANAGEABLE PIECES.
GIVE YOURSELF A PAT ON THE BACK
FOR CLEANING OUT THE JUNK
DRAWER OR YOU KNOW, CLEANING
OUT I DON'T KNOW, A SMALL PART
OF YOUR CLOSET.
I THINK PEOPLE OVERWHELM
THEMSELVES AND THEY KNOW I'M
GOING TO DO ALL OF THIS IN ONE
DAY.
THAT IS JUST NOT REALITY.
SO I THINK PAT YOURSELF ON THE
BACK, DO ONE CABINET AND THEN
BUILD ON THAT.
AND SAY OKAY, NOW I MOVE ONTO
THE NEXT THING.
Joy: SOUNDS GOOD LET'S DO
THIS LITTLE BY LITTLE HERE.
HE SENT ME SOME BEFORE AND
AFTER.
WHAT ABOUT THE JUNK DRAWER?
IT IS JUNKY.
YOU'VE GOT TO GET ALL THE STUFF
OUT YOU DON'T EVEN WANT TO KNOW
WHAT'S IN THERE.
WHAT DOES YOUR BEFORE AND AFTER
LOOK LIKE?
LOOKS LIKE TAKE IT ALL OUT
TO SET IT ALL OUT ON THE
COUNTER.
TIME TO CLEAN THE DRAWER OUT IF
YOU HAVE ANYTHING IN THEIR WASH
THEM IN THE DISHWASHER OR HOT
SOAPY WATER.
PROBABLY A LOT OF STUFF IN
THERE THAT LIKE YOU SAID, YOU
HAVEN'T SEEN IN A LONG TIME,
YOU CAN GIVE IT TO SOMEONE ELSE
OR DONATE IT OR THROW IT IN THE
TRASH.
THEN FROM THERE BREAK IT UP
INTO LITTLE COMPARTMENTS.
FOR ALL OF YOUR PENS AND
PENCILS TOGETHER, A TAPE
MEASURE, AND IS EASY TO SEE.
Joy: A QUICK TIP FOR THE
CLOSET.
HOW DO YOU TACKLE A CLOSET?
ONE THING I NOTICED ABOUT YOUR
AFTER CLOSET IS THE HANGERS ARE
ALL UNIFORM.
DOES THAT MATTER THAT MUCH?
I DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO
THINK GOSH THEY HAVE TO GO OUT
AND $400 ON HANGERS.
YOU DON'T.
SO START SMALL, WHAT I USUALLY
TELL PEOPLE WITH THAT, MAKE
THAT YOUR IMPULSE BY ONE WE ARE
ABLE TO GO BACK TO TARGET.
MAKE THAT YOUR IMPULSE BUY.
BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, YOU HAVE
GONE TO TARGET THREE TIMES IN
THREE MONTHS AND YOU HAVE BEEN
ABLE TO SPEND A LITTLE MONEY
EACH TIME AND YOU CHANGED ALL
OF YOUR HANGERS.
Joy: AND HE CAN FIND THINGS
EASIER IF THEY ARE ALL HANGING
AT THE SAME HEIGHT.
THERE DIFFERENT HANGERS AND
THEY HIDE THINGS FOR ME IS
FRUSTRATED.
ONE THING YOU DID BRILLIANTLY,
I WILL CALL THIS A UTILITY
CLOSET.
THE ONES WE HAVE THE BROOMS AND
MOPS IN THE QUARTER AND WE PULL
ONE OUT THEY ALL FALL DOWN.
HOW DO YOU SORT THAT ONE OUT?
AGAIN, EVERYTHING
ORGANIZED.
GET OUT OF THERE, WHAT YOU
DON'T NEED OR DON'T WANT.
AND WE LOVE A GOOD FLAT WALL OR
HOOK SYSTEM BECAUSE PEOPLE
REALLY MISS THE BOAT WHEN IT
COMES UTILIZING A WALK SPACE.
A LOT OF TIMES YOU CAN GET --
AT ANY HOME GOODS OR A LOWE'S
OR HOME DEPOT OR SOMETHING OF
THAT.
IF NOT --
Joy: AND I LOVE THE SHOES ON
THE WALL.
THAT IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF
USING THE WALL SPACE INSTEAD OF
HAVING THEM PILE UP ON THE
FLOOR.
ANYWAY, REALLY GOOD IDEAS.
I WANT TO TALK TO ON A MORE
REGULAR BASIS BECAUSE MAYBE,
JUST MAYBE WE WILL GET THERE
AND ACTUALLY DO SOME OF THIS.
BETSY MILLER, TO BE ORGANIZED,
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
