TAKE IT ON!! One of the number one New Year’s Resolutions is to “Get Organized”. It may seem like a daunting task, but if you chip away at it methodically – it WILL get done. Try this simple and fast plan for easy organizing:
- To give yourself a quick win, get a big trash bag and clear away old magazines, paperwork – anything that you can toss without thinking. You will be AMAZED at the visual freedom that just one pass for trash will give.
- If your office is full of items from other parts of the house, get a laundry bin and put anything that isn’t work related into it – then get it out of the room.
- Break the project down into micro jobs, then one space, then one spot. Example: Office (room), Space (desk), Spot (top drawer). Then commit: “I’m going to clean the top drawer of my office desk.” Sounds a lot less overwhelming than “I’m going to clean my office.” Give it a shot. This approach just may inspire you to clean out ALL of the drawers.
- The next time you have an hour, take on one file cabinet, the storage closet etc. Before you know it, those small spots will be clean and so will the entire space!
