“It’s Time For Change!”

Sorry, with this being inauguration day, I couldn’t resist. This is truly an historic day, no matter what your political views!

Getting more organized is one of the top ten New Year’s resolutions people make. Is it one of your resolutions? What space in your home do you look at and think, “It’s time for change”? What steps have you made to get organized?

Thinking about getting organized DOES count as a start. This is planning time. What do you want to change? Envision what you would like the organized space to look like. What do you use the space for? What is working for you in this area? What isn’t working? What items belong here, but you can never find? What doesn’t belong here, but you always find here?

Now, bear with me as I use another quote, “Just Do It”. Getting started is always the hardest part. Set a date, write it in ink in your calendar, and do not cancel this important appointment with yourself. Having a person to cheer, encourage, and help you as you work on the project can keep you motivated and makes the job more fun.

See the April 30, 2008 article, “Five Steps to Get Rid of Clutter” for guidelines that may be helpful in completing your organizing project. Recognize what needs to be changed, make a plan, and do it!
