Do you need to get organized?
Do you procrastinate doing it?

Most people think getting organized is hard, overwhelming and stressful.

Use these keys to easy organizing and make your life flow again (or for the first time!)

1. Schedule at least 2 hours of uninterrupted time per organizing job to start with.
2. Start in one corner of a room and/or tackle only one drawer, closet shelf or pile at a time.
3. Get out your prep tools: Trash can, recycle box, re-route to other rooms/people box and donation box, file folders, hanging files, labels, pen/marker, dust cloth
4. You might need to purchase containers such as clear tubs of assorted sizes to corral "stuff" in for storage.
5. Make sure to label what you put back for easy finding
6. Get water, a piece of fruit and/or a chocolate bar or protien bar ready at arms length!
7. Dig in!
8. DO NOT LEAVE THE ROOM UNTIL THE TIME IS UP!

If it's too overwhelming, call a friend or family member to help. They can be objective and "toss" things that probably really need to go! And, you have PERMISSION to let things go!

Good luck!
