With the new year approaching, many of us are making resolutions to change our lives. Here’s a site to help you get the clutter out of your life and get what you have better organized. This is crucial for preppers–we spent much longer than necessary the other day looking for duct tape.

Luckily, all we were doing was sealing some water bottles we had filled with tap water and a bit of bleach, but it renewed my efforts to get better organized. I used to be a huge “Flybaby”, and I still implement many of the cleaning techniques and routines she offers, but I need to get back on board in a much more committed way! I need to get rid of the junk that’s taking up space I need for my preps, and I need to get the supplies I have organized in a better way.
