Time To Get Organized
With Help From Sherry Onweller,
Professional Organizer
I
s one of your New Year’s Resolutions to get your home,
work or life organized? Make this the year it really hap-
pens. Sherry Onweller, Professional Organizer from
Sherry’s Organizing Solutions, has some ideas for you.
First, always remember that organizing is a process; it is
about having an action plan which can be broken down into
manageable chunks. The key to success is being sure that
your organizational systems and time management methods
are in sync with your lifestyle.
Some Organizing tips that Sherry recommends are:
- Know your organizing priorities and stick to achieving
them.
- Break your organizing priorities and goals down into
manageable pieces and write them down.
- Try to take immediate action on things that need a
reply, like: email, an RSVP, a permission slip from school,
etc. If you are going to take the time to read these things,
you might as well take immediate action so you don’t have
to revisit them later.
- Have a plan in place for productive ways to use idle
time (i.e. check email while waiting in a long grocery line,
if you know you will have 15 minutes while waiting for a
child to finish an activity, bring your bills along with you,
in a bin with: stamps, address labels and your checkbook
and pay your bills while waiting in your car).
Getting organized will allow you to have better control
over your life and give you a sense of wellbeing. You will
no longer feel stressed by your surroundings. Once you
experience the benefits of setting up systems and organiz-
ing your physical space, you will be motivated to stay
organized..
Sherry Onweller is a Professional Organizer based out of
NJ. Sherry’s Organizing Solutions provides sympathetic
and nonjudgmental organizing and de-cluttering services to
residential and business clients. Sherry offers organizing
help to: families, business people, students, children,
retirees and female adults with ADD.

Prepare Now for Home Purchase
L
enders and Realtors alike agree that now is a great
time to start planning for home ownership. Interest
rates are still low and home prices continue to come
down! The Housing Partnership’s seminar series, “Step by
Step to Home Ownership,” continues to draw a large group
of attendees each month. The next workshop will be held
on Thursday, January 20th and 27th, from 5:45 p.m. to 9:30
p.m. at The Housing Partnership, 2 East Blackwell St.,
Dover, NJ.
This comprehensive workshop provides unbiased infor-
mation to prepare you for the biggest purchase of your life.
The two-evening seminar focuses on working households
who want to learn all the steps in the home buying process
– with no sales pressure! The workshop features a credit
expert, the mortgage application process, financing, calcu-
lating how much you can afford, working with a Realtor
and the role of the attorney, plus many more hints on get-
ting started. Volunteer presenters for this series include rep-
resentatives from two local banks, Peapack Gladstone, and
Chase Bank, along with the North Central Jersey
Association of Realtors and the Bar Association.
The Housing Partnership’s Bank Guide contains infor-
mation on mortgage products through their 16 member
lenders, as well as information on matched savings clubs
and down payment assistance. There is a non-refundable
registration fee of $35, which includes the text book and
light refreshments.
The Housing Partnership, a United Way agency and
chartered member of the NeighborWorks America, works to
strengthen communities and households through home
ownership. For registration information, please call 973-
659-9222, or download a registration form at www.hous-
