 5 Steps to Organizing Success

 

We all want to save time and be more organized.  Start

2004 with these tips in mind:

 

* Be realistic.  If you are a clutter bug you will not start

living an organized life overnight.  Organizing is a process.

It takes time.  Be patient.

 

* Do a little every day.  Choose one area in your home or

office to work on every day.  Give yourself a certain amount

of time daily to organize.  Reward yourself when your time

is up even if it seems like you didn't accomplish much.

 

* Keep at it.  Don't give up after two days, two weeks, or

two months.  Giving up only ensures that you will not get

organized.  If you miss a day or a week, simply start again.

 

* Learn how to organize.  Many of us are not born organizers.

Read organizing articles and books.  Visit Web sites.  Watch

the new organizing shows on TV.  Ask a friend or a professional

to help you get started.

 

* Make it a family affair.  Let household members help organize

their spaces.  Delegate daily de-cluttering to family members.

Set up systems and routines everyone can live with.
