Changing personal habits is the key to getting, and staying, organized. How successful you are depends on your ability to discipline yourself on a constant basis.

Until your daily routine becomes a habit, your actions are up for grabs. Once something is a habit you get to be on automatic pilot or on cruise control, whether the habit is a good one or a bad one.

Here are a few good habits to start with:

• If you take it out, put it away! (yes mom...;)
• Do not shop when you are hungry, bored or in a hurry. This often leads to unecessary or impulse buying.
• Implement the one in, one out rule. When you purchase something new, make sure it replaces something you no longer need.
• Use it, love it or leave it!

If you would like to change your circumstances you have to first change your behavior.  In order to change your behavior, you have to change your thinking.  In order to change your thinking, you have to become aware of the thoughts that created your circumstances in the first place.

Start by building good habits that let you cruise through your day and give you time to play!
