If you want to get organized that can be a great and admirable task to undertake. Your life becomes a lot less stressful when the things around you are organized. Just reflect everything being in that place and you knowing where everything is and everything in your home having a place. What a good thought, eh? Well, there are 3 things that doom every "let's get organized endeavor." You are about to learn what those three things are and how to invalidate them so you can get organized once and for all.
The first thing many people do is put off the activity of actually getting organized. They would like to get organized but each time the thought rolls around they find a grounds not to do it that day. Maybe people put off taking on the task for they feel it is too big a job... who knows. But, for most individuals, they let excuses get in the way f starting the task. I believe that is called procrastination, right?
What you need to do is just start. Take the first step. Stop putting it off and dig right in. You must begin the job first if you want to get your home organized.
Now that you have decided to start you need a plan. Failure to have a plan is the second thing that will doom any getting organized effort.
Make a list and go through each room. Write down what you would like the room to look like when finished. Write down all the things that are in the way of that happening. Do you need to throw things away? Do some things need to be stored? Do you need to build or procure something for things to be more organized? Answering these questions will help you develop a plan for each room.
Once your plan is put together it is time to commence. Some people actually get to this stage and then it still all falls apart. The reason for that is that they are not focused. If you want to get organized you should become focused and stay focused.
Start with one room and one task and finish it. Don't allow yourself to become distracted and start a second or third or fourth task. If you do that, which many people do, you get nothing finished and just a lot of tasks started. What it ends up doing is creating even more of a mess and cluttered and you are less organized than you were to at the start.
Getting organized does not have to be difficult. We just make it that way because we keep doing these three things. Give these suggestions a try and you will be on your way to finally, becoming organized and living with less stress.
A great place to begin is in entryway of your home. Start with this as the first room and then systematically work your way throughout the house and the other rooms.
