As a professional organizer, we find dry cleaning bags to be irksome for a couple reasons. The environmental waste is obvious. But from a closet organizing perspective, we see a lot of clothes organizing systems break down when people bring home their dry cleaning… One of the most user-friendly ways to organize your clothes is [...]

Shared by Moah I discovered this post from Scoble’s shared items. The power of Google Reader! I am more than glad Obama picked people with this kind of view to be on his economic advisory team.
