Here you will find phone numbers and/or links to sites that are helpful in the organizing process, as well as links to sites that have nothing to do with organizing at all, as some things are just too good not to share!

If you are interested in SELLING your stuff, there is always the time consuming, labor intensive garage sale option. We do not organize garage sales, but would be happy to refer you to other professional organizers in the area who might. Other options include selling your items on www.ebay.com or locally on houston.craigslist.org.
Would you like to spend less time sorting through mountains of JUNK MAIL? Send a letter requesting that your name and address be removed from mailing lists to:
Mail Preference Service
c/o Direct Marketing Association
P.O. Box 9008
Farmingdale, NY 11735-9008
This doesn’t stop all junk mail, but it sure will cut down on the volume. A similar service is available to reduce the number of marketing e-mails that clutter your inbox. Log on to www.dmaconsumers.org/consumerassistance.html for this and other information. To reduce the number of credit card offers received by mail, call 1-888-5OPT-OUT (1-888-567-8688).
Put a stop to so many of those annoying sales calls you get, by adding your phone number to the National Do Not Call registry. You can do this online at www.donotcall.gov. Having an unlisted phone number also significantly reduces telemarketing calls and may be worth the extra fee for those who value peace and quiet.
