One quick glance at my desk at home and it's painfully clear that one of my New Year's resolutions is to get organized. And sure, it's easy to get motivated when it's only the first week of January and I'm still in "fresh start" mode, but once the laziness kicks in it's going to be a serious struggle to avoid reverting back to my old disheveled ways. That's why I'm on the prowl for stylish ways to keep me efficient for 2010 -- messenger bags, laptop cases, agendas, etc. After all, what better motivation to stay tidy than a brand new bag? And even if your list of resolutions is too long to include staying orderly (or maybe you're already enough of a neat freak already), these picks are still practical additions to anyone's shopping list. Check out the slideshow for my favorite get-organized buys for a neat-and-tidy new year!
Make The Most Of Your Closet Space!

Luckily my apartment came with two closets, because I'll tell you one thing about living with a guy-- they're messy. And the closet is the worst. What I've discovered after having my own closet at my disposal over the past two months was something that surprised me: I, in fact, am a bit messy as well. My well-organized shoes rack turned out to be too much of a hassle, and I've started just dumping my shoes into any old spot in the closet as soon as I get home. My special skirt hangers have become more decoration than anything else, because they are over-crowded and shoved somewhere in the back half of the closet where it's tough to reach. Something had to change. So I did a little research. I chose an over-the-door shoe rack which saves floor space and discourages me from throwing my stuff on the floor. I got a great revolving belt hanger that doubles as a tie rack, and some hanging shelf organizers took care of the stray winter clothes and I don't wear during the summer, but don't have room to store. Now maybe I can get around to doing the same thing for the hall closet€¦
