So, what New Year’s resolutions did you make this year? The usual, like lose weight? Or maybe go to the gym three times a week? Get more sleep?

What about getting organized? If it wasn’t already on your list, you might want to add it now — which is okay, because everyone knows the resolution grace period is in effect as long as people are still wishing you a happy new year.

Particularly for those of us who’ve going through some struggles (like a Divorce Over 50), removing the physical clutter in our lives can also help us accept change and move forward. In other words, straightening up what’s on the outside can help us fix the mental mess on the inside.
