Getting  Started

When deciding what area of your personal and/or professional life you want to organize use the following tips to help you get started:

1. Make an assessment of the area that you want to organize whether it is the papers covering the desk or the clothes piled on the floor.  This will help you decide what you want to accomplish.
2. Set your goal, be specific and write it down.  I want to organize my financial/investment papers so I can find them the first time I look.
3. Set a start and finish date. I want to start organizing by September 1st so that I will have my dining room table cleared of all the piles by Thanksgiving.  Remember to mark your calendar.
4. Make a list of all the items you will need for your organizing project (filing cabinet, file folders, storage boxes).  Set a date to purchase all necessary supplies so you will be prepared to start your project.
5. Schedule time for your project.  Start by dedicating a couple of hours focused on organizing.  Invite a friend who is organized or hire a professional organizer to provide encouragement as you decide to let things go.
6. Concentrate on one area at a time, one box, one drawer or one pile.  When one project is done you will feel like you have accomplished something big.
7. If you get tired stop. Don try to push yourself, you will only get frustrated and may never want to get started again.
