Make it Easy
We all want to do so much. We have these great ideas and expectations of ourselves, then find all kinds of excuses why we "can’t" do something. Most of us know how to (and want to) do the right thing, but are just too busy. That’s why the easier something is to do, the more likely we’ll do it.
I will admit that one of the reasons I am so organized is that I am terribly lazy! It frustrates me if I have to go out of my way to find things so I try to eliminate steps in order to make my job and my life easier.
If everything in your office was easy to put back in it’s place it’s less likely you’d leave everything out and about. Start by paying attention to your natural tendencies or patterns. If you notice items get dropped in a certain spot, place a bin, basket or hook to collect the items and sort through it regularly. If you tend to drop items randomly, create work or activity zones so you have what you need for those activities close at hand.
Try it. It can be just that easy!

We want to hear from YOU!
I've been writing these newsletters for a while now and have had some good feedback from people who actually read the articles (imagine that!). But instead of continuing to write about the things I think you might find interesting or helpful, I want to hear from you!
E-mail me your biggest organizing challenges or questions and I will add them to my newsletter, PLUS you will be entered in a draw to win a FREE organizing consultation! I will be drawing one consultation each month so if you are lucky enough to submit a question or a challenge that gets used in our newsletter then voila! You win!! |

It often takes 50% or more of the total effort to squeeze out the last 10% or so of quality or whatever it is perfectionists want out of a situation. Not a good investment of time ~ Jeff Olson, The Agile Manager's Guide to Getting Organized . |

NAPO Conference Photos
I attended the NAPO Conference in Reno last month and one of the highlights for me was meeting Peter Walsh, host of the television show "Clean Sweep" and author of "It's All Too Much" and "Does this Clutter Make My Butt Look Fat?" He's been on Oprah and has done a great job promoting the Professional Organizing Industry. You can check out my photos of the conference by clicking here. |
