Organizing Tips and Helpful Hints
The idea of clutter is overwhelming but the sooner you get started, the
sooner you'll achieve your goal. Getting started is truly the most difficult first
step. Start now!
*Take baby steps - start with a section of a desk, drawer, desktop, or area
of a closet. A small area is easier to handle.
*Keep it simple! Don't make organizing difficult. Find simple strategies,
systems and tools that work for you and use them on a regular basis.
*Pick a project. Each day do a project that will take only 10 or 15 minutes --
clean out a junk drawer, file some papers, delete 10 email messages.
*There is no one right way to get organized. There are many different
solutions so use the one that works for you and stick with it (you don't have
to change every time a new one comes around).
*The process of organizing helps you figure out what's important to you.
Knowing this can help to simplify your life.
*Appointments: Always call ahead to confirm. Check your planner in the
evening, morning and throughout the day.
*Use ONE planner. Whatever works for you - planner, calendar or PDA
(Personal Digital Assistant). It's too difficult managing more than one.
*Make lists and take notes: Who can remember everything to do without
writing it down. Keep a small notebook to consolidate all your to-do lists,
phone calls, follow up, sticky-notes and thoughts. Use color highlighters to
check off when completed.
*What area(s) do you need to get organized?
Life: Time management, mail & paperwork, procrastination, staying on task,
completing projects.
Home: Home office, closets & cabinets, garages, other rooms
Business: Office, filing, paper & computer management
Make a list and start tackling them today.
*Stop paper before it starts. Open your mail near the recyle container and
shredder, and immediately dump all junk mail before it ends up on the
counter or table. Go through it each day. Sort, toss, act on or file!
*When you have less clutter to worry about you have more time to pursue
the things that bring you the greatest happiness and satisfaction.
