I’m not immune to procrastination just because I’m a Professional Organizer.  My clients relate.  They say they’re “too busy” to get through to-dos written down long ago.

I put myself to the test. If I wasn’t willing to do tasks in a 100% clear calendar, I committed to:

1. Cross them off my list entirely.
2. Delegate/ask for support.
3. Assign specific dates to tasks and ask a friend for accountability.

Accomplishment from those completed, burden lifted by letting go of those I’d likely never do, relief from delegating/support, and empowerment from creating a plan for future actions.

What would your outcome be if you did this for seven days?

• Put items away where they belong
• If items have no home, create a home

Would you have clear, calm space?
Would you relax in your surroundings?

My clients worry they need to choose the “best” home; since that can be difficult, they postpone.  I encourage them to choose “a” home; simply make a decision.

Your power is in your focus.  CHANGE requires us to pay attention to an idea.

How would it be to look at your closet and feel pleased? 

• Take everything out of your closet

• Sort into categories

• Only keep items that support you in your life today

• Relocate off-season clothes to storage

• Put categories away in accessible homes

• MAINTENANCE: Place a donation bin in your closet so clothes can be removed the moment they are a “no”.

A majority of my clients express angst over having an excessive amount of tangible memorabilia (from their childhood or of their late parents).  My clients don’t know what to do – they don’t want to throw the items away, yet they don’t want the items cluttering up their home or living inside boxes in which they never look.

TIP: Have you considered taking photos of memorabilia?

Imagine the freedom of letting go of the items and yet still having the cherished memories as you sit down and look through the pages of your album…

Place EVERY paper that enters your home in an “inbox”.

• No other papers go in there (only new incoming papers).
• Once a week, sort papers into 4 piles by asking:
• “What do I need to do with this paper?
  • R- Read it?
  • A- Act on it?
  • F- File it?
  • T- Toss it?”
• DON’T get sidetracked into “doing” action items.
• Take “Read” to the location where you actually read.
• Put each “Action” in its own clear file.  Create an appointment to complete Action.
• File & toss.
• Typically, this takes 10 minutes.
• Do this for 1 month & experience how easy it is to keep track of papers!
