Eliminate Clutter - We Mean Business!

Cardmunch, LinkedIN, iphone, organize, business cards, NEAT Method

Almost ever client that NEAT works with has a pile of business cards that exceeds any filing method. Even in our own homes, we find business cards hidden all over the place. The problem is obviously the clutter it creates, but also if you ever needed to actually contact someone that gave you a business card, the chances are slim to none that you will ever find it...until now...

This iPhone App that we came across is an organizer's dream come true! Card Munch is currently only available on the iPhone however they are working on a blackberry app as we speak! We will give you the Cliff Notes on this magical App:

1. Download the App: CardMunch and create a profile

2. Take photos of your business cards using your iPhone

3. Wait a few minutes for the app to read your business cards and voila! Your business cards are organized by name AND company!

4. Share the business cards you have collected by touching the photo of the card and Card Munch will email it for you

5. Follow up with business contacts by touching the, "follow up" button

6. All of your cards are SAVED on the site ONLINE!!

We are completely certain that you will be as amazed by this app as we are but if you don't believe us, we will let you in on a little secret....shhhhhhh..... LinkedIn just bought the app (that must mean they think it is pretty useful!)

You can thank us later.

Simple Solutions for Your Kitchen

Lately, NEAT has been organizing many kitchens! Our good friend Martha (friend is such an ambiguous word isn't it) has some amazing quick kitchen fixes that we had to share with you!

Kitchen Organization, kitchen glasses, Kitchen Shelves, Organized, NEAT Method

This simple tray solves your barware stacking issues! Our arch enemy is the martini/margarita glass - but this issue has been put aside thanks to this little problem solver!

Freezer bags, freezer stickers, freezer organization, NEAT Method

One time, we watched "Hoarders" .... NEVER AGAIN! This particular episode featured a woman who hoarded food and lost track of experation dates. (Seriously, nightmares for weeks) BUT let's be honest, we all put things in the freezer and cannot remember how long they have been there... try using these adorable stickers and don't look back!

Kitchen organization, lids, pot lids, organized, NEAT Method

When NEAT organizes pots and pans in a client's home, we always follow the rule, "tops on top, pans on the bottom." This usually helps our clients to create a routine that keeps the pans tidy and manageable. This lid organizer is the perfect addition to our rule. Consider NEAT's rule ammended!

Welcome

We're Ashley and Molly, the founders of NEAT Method. Lets face it - we obviously love to organize and are a little...or maybe we should say a lot type-A. This perfect storm created The Neat Life. Welcome! We've seen it all, heard it all, organized it all, and are always obsessed with the outcome of our work. Even if a clutter free space doesn't tickle your fancy as much as ours, we guarantee you will be entertained by our antics and will enjoy following the lives of a couple NEAT freaks.
