Do you procrastinate when it comes to organizing your life or office?
There's "stuff" in every room - sports equipment, shoes, papers, bills, phone messages, clothes. You become overwhelmed because you can't find what you need. You vow to "fix" it if only you had more help, more time, etc. Try the following steps:
1. Set small goals and complete them. Don't think the whole thing has to be done at once, (play your favorite CD and stop when the music stops).
2. Start work on an area by putting like things together so you can see what you have.
3. Use shallow bins or baskets to keep medicine, toiletries, and small office supplies together.
4. Make sure each person who contributes to the "stuff" problem knows that things are changing. Give each person their own containers to maintain your hard work.
Note: Handle incoming mail daily; especially toss the junk mail.
