The obvious overall advantage to using organizing units is to make the most out of the 
space you have. The choices come down to looks, cost and usefulness.
There are three or four ways to incorporate organizing units at home or office, with the top end usually being for your clothes closet, and the bottom end being in the garage or storage unit.
Bookshelves overrun by CDs and DVDs? Make your room vroom with binders designed to hold your disks and movie title notes as featured on Tuesday evening’s Queer Eye. But where did Thom Felicia find the binders? Case Logic has a terrific leather 80-capacity binder in black leather. Personally, I’d suggest a splurge, try: Aspinal of London, they have delicious and funky soft suede leather binders that look beautiful and feel amazing with padded covers and lined in luxurious silber-grey Moiré silk. My personal fave: Cobalt Blue. Just add CD inserts from Office Depot and you’ve made your bookshelves breath again.
Want to know a secret from a Professional Organizer & OrganizingLA? Use a label maker to label each slot with the movie title or album name. You’ll always know where the disk is, or isn’t. And get rid of those pesky jewel cases.
As a Los Angeles-area Professional Organizer, I've been using the amazing ItsDeductible software from TurboTax and just recently introduced the system to my Clients as an added bonus.
I use it to account for each and every item donated to thrift stores as we clear the clutter. It automatically values your donations using a simple method: the established guidelines from the IRS. Press print, and a simple report pops out with the item name, value (good, fair, etc.) and the price. How simple is that?
Who would have thought that Uncle Sam values your unbeloved Stock Pot at $26 bucks and that unheard Russian Rapsody two-setter you bought in 1989 at $16?
Save time. Save on taxes. Stop guessing.
