Spring hasn't quite sprung here in New England, but what better way to spend the last of the dreary and cold winter days than getting organized and prepared for Spring.
If your organizing projects are making you feel overwhelmed, take the stress off and make the job more manageable with these easy strategies:
1. Focus On One Task / Area of a Space at a Time. If you feel really overwhelmed by looking at all of the clutter, get an empty paper towel tube and look through it - focus on organizing only the area you see.
2. Avoid Organizing Burn Out. Set a timer for 15 minutes and then reward yourself with a break. Like a marathon runner getting ready for a race, slowly increase the time you work by 5 minutes each session to get to your goal work time.
3. Organize with a Friend (or a Professional Organizer). Social organizing is critical for those who have struggled most of their lives getting organized and maintaining organization. Ask a friend (or a Professional Organizer) to be part of your process; you'll be amazed at how much you can accomplish in a much shorter period of time.
For more information about how Professional Organizing with An Organized Life can help you take back control of your space, visit our website or call for a complimentary consultation.
