Goodwill Donation Tips

October 23, 2023/0 Comments/in Blog Posts/by Janine Cavanaugh, CPO®

A group of my fellow NAPO-New England (National Association of Productivity and Organizing Professionals) members and I went on a behind-the-scenes tour of the Morgan Memorial Goodwill Industries, Boston. We learned about its’ mission to help individuals, with barriers to self-sufficiency, to achieve independence and dignity through work. We learned about its origin, having been […]

Donating and recycling

October 18, 2023/0 Comments/in Newsletter/by Janine Cavanaugh, CPO®

I’m often surprised by the fact that I’ve been working to create and maintain order with my clients for the past 15 years. The ongoing process of organizing and reducing takes time, effort, and resources. Over the years I’ve discovered some great resources. Here are some that have helped me this fall.

Spring into action

March 15, 2023/0 Comments/in Newsletter/by Janine Cavanaugh, CPO®

I’m so happy spring is on its way. Aren’t you? I get motivated to clean out, freshen up, and organize my home in the spring. I’m not sure why this time of year motivates me, but I get the urge to get rid of stuff. Let me share some examples.

Books and stuff

November 3, 2022/0 Comments/in Newsletter/by Janine Cavanaugh, CPO®

November already?
November has arrived and I’m still asking myself what happened to October. I’m not quite ready for the winter months, but there are two cold-weather activities that I’m looking forward to, snuggling up on the couch with a good book and scrapbooking my vacation photos. What are you looking forward to this winter?

November 5th is Book Lovers Day
Did you like to read as a kid? I did not, that’s why my sisters are so surprised when I tell them about a good book I’ve just read. I read all the time now.

yard sale
July 23, 2022/0 Comments/in Newsletter/by Janine Cavanaugh, CPO®

How are you enjoying your summer!

For me, summer has been filled with travel, family, friends, beach, and home improvement projects. We got our hardwood floors refinished. That means every single thing in 5 rooms of our home needed to be removed. Everything!

In preparation for the big clean out, we decided to sell some furniture and decor. We hosted a yard sale at our house with my sister. She downsized and closed an online shop, so she had a ton of things to sell.
