The Proven Process for Organizing Everything |

Organization Takes Time |
|
Eliminating distractions is part of setting aside time to organize. Treat your organizing time as sacred. Turn off your phone. Let others know not to disturb you for a few hours. Set yourself up for success by creating an environment wherein you can focus on the task at hand. If you can get into a mental groove during your organizing session, you'll be amazed what you can accomplish!
Something that will help you get into a groove and avoid distractions is preparing the area in advance, so that you don't have to stop to collect supplies or arrange the space. Gather trash bags, boxes, baskets, or some other type of container for sorting items. You'll need one for trash, one for items that belong in another area of the house, and one or more for items you wish to donate. It's useful to have labeling supplies on hand. I also recommend setting up a staging area where you can place items you intend to keep. This will make more sense in a minute. |
