Transform your paper piles with these pretty & practical tools! See our New Year Favorites
We have put a lot of thought into helping you this year with the chronic clutter areas! Our tip here is to choose a cool and practical container for the incoming information and paper. If you have piles of paper and written notes covering your kitchen counter or desktop, check out the two containers below. We hope you will love them and use them as much as we do.
Tip & Tool – Choose ONE NOTEBOOK for all the incoming information, notes, ideas and actions. Check out our favorite – the ARC Notebook by Staples
Cool Tool – Make it Pretty, Practical & Portable! To transform your paper piles check out The Acrylic Desktop File from the Container Store.
Earlier this month, Marla was invited to Good Things Utah to share all about it, plus some other great paper containers we love! Click on the picture below to watch it.

Do you have piles of paper on your kitchen counter? You’ve got to check out this cool container!
Have you noticed just how much we LOVE containers?! Don’t let our enthusiasm make you think you we like all of them equally though. We are a bit particular, as they’ve got to be beautiful, functional and fit our personalities. When it comes to our desktop action system, we have found a new one that we are just thrilled to share with you.
How come we love it so much?
- It’s Pretty – add your personal favorite color hanging folders your personality comes shining through
- It’s Practical – holds up to 15 hanging file folders, plenty for an individual or family
- It’s Portable – lightweight and has handles so you can move it from your counter, to your table, to your desk
If you feel the same way we do and just have one for yourself, you can Shop The Container Store Here. We’d also love to hear about your favorite desktop file containers. Or if you have questions, please ask in the comment section below.

TRUE CLUTTER CONFESSIONS from Marla & Kate
– the Creators of the Clear & SIMPLE Way to live free of clutter and be organized!
This last year has been all about creating and then clearing, over and over again! We had a blast launching our new brand & website, traveling to London, offering new eBooks and workshops, sharing the Powerful Staying in Business a Decade & Beyond – and so much more. It all led to creating our own form of chaos. The ladies always touting “Keep it Simple” had to take a long look at why we were making everything complicated. Ha Ha!
We sadly realized that in our frantic efforts to give you so much, we weren’t aligning with our core values – Simple, Joyful, & Soulful. We are sorry for throwing you more stuff than anyone could handle; more information than connection. In December we took a “time out”. We spent time clearing our own clutter, opening to sacred conversations, and constantly asking what we MOST want to give you in this New Year?
So, in true Clear & SIMPLE fashion, we’ve gone through SEE IT, MAP IT & DO IT to create a meaningful way to stay connected this year. Since you have signed up to receive content from us we want you to know what it will look like…
Our 2015 THEME – Organizing can be simple & fun!
- Daily sharing on Social Media of things that inspire us and make life easier. Like our Facebook Page.

- Monthly Newsletter – a simple email with a small roundup of the month’s Featured Favorites

Isn’t it time for clarity that really matters, that will make a meaningful difference in your life?
With so many failed New Year’s Resolutions, even with the most determined attempts, people are starting to look at different approaches to makes changes in the new year. After all, it’s not really that we don’t have what it takes to create real change or even that what we so desire to change isn’t attainable. We simply need a new way.
We ran across an article by Parker J. Palmer about how the New Year’s energy feels like so much hoopla, but that we truly do desire a significant ritual and that “maybe we’re on the threshold of something new and better.” After reading an inspiring poem, some questions arose in him that he is using as his guiding force throughout the new year.
We just had to share these beautiful questions with you…
• “How can I let go of my need for fixed answers in favor of aliveness?
• What is my next challenge in daring to be human?
• How can I open myself to the beauty of nature and human nature?
• Who or what do I need to learn to love next? And next? And next?
• What is the new creation that wants to be born in and through me?”
Wow! Powerful. Meaningful. I know these are going to support me in creating some brilliant things in this new year. How about you? If you’d like more, read his whole post.
Many blessing to you in this new year!
