Melissa Reiff, President of The Container Store has spoken about her own personal closet. In a message to email subscribers today, Reiff says (of her own closet) "it's pretty well organized." No news if the picture above is her own personal closet though. [Picture shown is actually her closet] But beyond her own personal closet, Reiff speaks about being productive in general:
"I really do believe that we have to be reasonably well organized in this fast-paced world to accomplish even one-half of what we want..."
"[Organization] can transform any room in your home into an organized oasis - your closet, pantry, kid's room, garage - the possibilities are endless."
We really like that Reiff said "reasonably organized." Don't listen to messages about how your home or business should be run. If a system works for you, and you''re productive enough for your own needs, then you're good to go. To speak to consumers wanting more storage space, The Container Store is offering more of it's ELFA inventory at a substantial discount. 30-to-50-percent off through May 10th.
Has being organized helped you accomplish something lately?
Update 3/2/09: We're received an official email from TCS today letting us know that this is indeed Ms. Reiff's actual closet.

I like what you said "reasonably organized". I tell my clients they have to be comfortable with their homes, and that doesn't mean it could be on the cover of house beautiful, but that they can find things when they want them and they are living comfortably with what they have.

Inspiring post; it's always good to know when the people who preach organization, practice it too!
