The easiest way to approach organization
is methodically and it will become a pleasure (honestly).
Step One: Reality
Check
Follow this link for your basic organization tool and here for
one that has already been completed by
..one of my clients. Identify each room/area that you want to
declutter/organize.
Step Two: What
Do You Want?
Take a walk around each room and decide what functions you want
that room to fulfill. This is the most important step and the
most fun. It creates the framework for everything that is to
follow. Enjoy it. Think about how you want your life to work
and how your ‘things’ can support you in that.
Step Three: Create
an Action List
Create a list of actions that you need to do in order for the
rooms to support you. For example if you’ve decided that
the lounge is for reading and storing books, do you have somewhere
for the books to live? Is there enough lighting for reading
comfortably? If not then add these ideas to your action list.
Step Four: What
Doesn’t belong?
Identify the things that do not belong in that room. Where do
they belong? Are they just clutter that can be disposed of?
Do you need to create a ‘home’ for them as part
of a function of another room? Remove everything that does not
belong in that room and place it where it needs to go.
Step Five: Working
on Your Action List
Enjoy this step and make it fun. Look through the Action List.
Which item on the list appeals to you the most? What will be
the most fun or make the most difference in your life? Do that
first. In time you can work through the list until everything
is just as you want it! Enjoy!
