How to Motivate Yourself to Organize
Organizing is probably not at the top of your list of fun things
to do, is it? If your clutter is overwhelming, it's especially
difficult to get started. Here are some easy tips to motivate
yourself to organize.
1. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said, "Take the first step in
faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase, just just take
the first step." You don't have to organize your whole house
today. Just work on one small area-- a drawer or a cabinet.
2. Buy a good organizing book. Once you begin reading it, you'll
feel compelled to start organizing.
3. Forget embarrassment. Invite an organized friend to help you.
Hire a professional. It's easier to organize when you can talk
through the clutter.
4. Set the mood. Put on some fun music. Open the windows. Choose
a starting point and just do it.
5. "Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence,"
said Calvin Coolidge. Keep trying. Do a little bit daily or
weekly and you'll soon find that you are more organized than you
ever thought possible!
