Who is MishaTypeA?

Hi, thanks for asking! My name is Misha.

FYI this husky puppy is teething on my hand...hence the silly face I'm making

I’m a recent college grad living  with friends and have little time, less money, and no patience for clutter but I spend very little (time or money) to keep my space neat and clean.  Although I am NOT a certified professional organizer (CPO), they have specialized skills and training to help people out of serious clutter issues, I do have a natural inclination to neatness and I believe a good attitude and thoughtful tips can help the average guy or gal keep their lives/spaces organized.  I don’t have the money to hire anyone else to do the neatness thing for me (in this economy, I think that makes most of us) nor do I want to buy those expensive (and often hideous) closet systems.  Of course, I’m not perfect and when I fall short of my organizational expectations, I get to work thinking of creative ways I can meet those goals.  I am type A (with an exclamation point!) and anti-procrastination but I believe everyone can manage to keep things tidy even if they tend to procrastinate.

When not decluttering or cleaning, I enjoy growing my own vegetables and reading fiction.  My favorite genres are historical fiction, sci-fi, and magical realism.  I like to do crafts and can knit, (am learning how to) crochet, and sew.  Pasadena, CA is where I currently reside and I love it; although I have been fortunate enough to visit incredible places all over the world, my favorites being: India, Spain, and Japan.  I am an administrator at a non-profit biomedical and environmental chemistry research lab and plan on getting a master’s in non-profit management one day.

Thanks for reading my blog!

Clutter is the enemy...
