Would you like more energy? Clutter can make you feel lethargic. 

My favorite organizing author, Karen Kingston, writes:

4 CATEGORIES OF CLUTTER:

• Things you don’t use/love.
• Things that are untidy/disorganized.
• Too many things in too small a space.
• Anything unfinished. (Your vitality levels soar when you complete unfinished business.)

Having Clutter Also Can:

• Keep you in the past
• Congest/affect your body
• Encourage procrastination
• Cause disharmony
• Make you feel ashamed/depressed
• Cost you financially
• Distract you from what’s important

TIP: Clear your clutter.  Read Karen’s book or email me for ideas of where to start.

If you are frustrated by your clutter, look around and ask of each item: “Did I intentionally place this here or did it just ‘land here”?  Optimally, everything in your environment is to support you.  One of the best ways to figure out what supports you is to “clear the decks” – remove everything from an area and then put items back one by one, with clarity and intention.  For anything that doesn’t serve you today, give yourself permission to let it go, donate it or find another purposeful home for it.

This is more than “wanting to be organized”. It’s being READY to take action.

Timing is an important element. This behavioral change can be difficult when you are under a lot of stress at work or home.

Carefully choose a time when you can devote a portion of your time each week to this effort.

If your schedule is packed with holiday events, deadlines or pressures, consider waiting for a more favorable time.

If you aren’t ready, let it go for now. It will be the right time later.

There’s relief in making a decision that supports you today.

Does this sound familiar?  You’re determined to organize a specific area and you’re excited! You start and find something that doesn’t belong.  You bring that item to another room and notice that area is out of order as well; you begin organizing there.  When your time is up, you’re deflated because you’ve started many projects and finished none!  That’s called zigzag organizing.

TIP:  Focus & stay in 1 area at a time. If items belong elsewhere, place them in a “Relocate” box.  Set aside 15 minutes at the end of your allotted time to distribute items where they belong.
