I was not inherently organized but my library career demanded that I get that way. Now I practice library skills in my quilting retirement. Things have to go back where they belong and sending it in one step is more efficient than short hops. Next, I read my shelves. . . doing this helps me return things shifted out of place over time. The only thing that's changed is that fabric has replaced books! In doing this I always get inspired for new projects and continually "find" fabric that I had forgotten. . . just like browsing and discovering a wonderful book previously overlooked.
And, finally, I WEED my collection! We moved to a smaller house and I can tell you that less really is more! I still have a huge "collection" to maintain but it is organized and brings me great pleasure just as my library career did.
