Kelly and Katie McMenamin are two sisters who run a home and life organization service called Pixies Did It. Their philosophy: if your life is not organized around your own habits and personality, it won’t run smoothly. Here, the Pixies talk about a subject I suspect is close to many of our hearts: organizing paper…

Your personality tells you more about how you should organize than you think. Use your natural strengths to get a quick Pixie Fix and bring order & serenity into your life. We offer online Myers-Briggs personality assessments through our business, PixiesDidIt! You should recognize which fix is for you without taking the test, but if you want more personality specific organization help, give us a call or an email.

When it comes to paper, we break the 16 Meyers-Briggs personality types into four major groups, NJ, NP, and SJ, SP. What unites us? No matter who you are it seems to never stop coming and it can get unruly. Whether you are in an office or at home, you need to create the right structure for you. We all get overwhelmed by paper and find ourselves asking, “Weren’t computers supposed to make us paperless?”

Click through to read the fixes (and see pictures!) for realistic decision makers, visionary decision makers, adaptable realists, and adaptable innovators…

I never spoke to her about a Notor.” I dashed off a quick e-mail to her and found out that it was sent to me in error. Back when she was looking for people to test planners, I didn’t volunteer because I don’t use a planner. I do have one of the tiny Exaplan monthly planners, which I use to jot the most basic of details, but since I journal fairly regularly, I just never even thought about using a diary/planner.

But since I’m such a paper junkie, I just *have* to test it out.
