Straighten Up for Spring Giveaway!

 As you may or may not know, Spring is officially just ten days away! Here in Massachusetts, it definitely doesn't feel like it could be Spring in 10 days. There has been so much snow and cold, some days I feel like Christmas could come back! However, on March 20th, it will officially be Spring and Spring is a season for new beginnings. Is there an area of your home that's bothering you? Is your whole house a mess? Don't despair! Over the next 30 days, I'm going to help you get started getting organized for Spring so that you can enter this flowery, lovely season with a renewed sense of zen!

Week One, we'll start with getting motivated. It's often very overwhelming to look around at your space, see all of the stuff and not even want to try and organize it all. When you feel this way, there are a few things you need to tell yourself:

• I don't have to organize everything at once: This is a very important thing to know. Organizing a little 2'x2' space could take all afternoon or all day depending on the detail of what's going on in the space. Take your time. Enjoy the small victories.

• It doesn't have to be PERFECT: What is "PERFECT" anyway? Does it work for you? Can you find things? Can you see what you are storing? Then it's pretty good or even pretty GREAT. A perfect solution is something that you probably won't be able to accomplish. Settling for pretty good or great is going to make your project much more satisfying.

• I can take a break: Been cleaning out your fridge for an hour? Getting overwhelmed? Take a break. Take the dog for a walk. Have some lunch. Watch a TV show. Answer some emails. If you are overwhelmed with how long it takes to do a project, break it up into smaller, bite-sized chunks. Give yourself a set-limit on how many minutes you're going to spend on it at one time.

Here are the suggested categories for the Straighten Up for Spring Projects! Choose one or more and post your progress on the Hub Neat Facebook Page or Twitter or Instagram! If you're feeling creative, choose your own category not listed here! The sky's the limit! Take a photo of your space BEFORE.

To motivate you, I'm giving away a fabulous set of organizing products to a random Straighten Up for Spring participant. Here's what you could win!

The only thing you MUST do, is post YOUR BEFORE PHOTO to the Hub Neat Facebook Page or Twitter or Instagram it with the tag #StraightenUp2014. If you tweet about the challenge and like Hub Neat on Facebook you can get an extra entry! You can tweet about the giveaway every day and get an entry until the contest closes. But you must do the project and therefore, the before photo step is a mandatory entry. If you finish your project and post a photo, you gain 5 bonus entries! So many chances to win!

So, are you inspired? YOU CAN DO IT!!! What are you waiting for? Get moving and good luck!!! Enter and rules below!
