It’s a new year. So……Get ready…..Get set……GO.
Get Organized, that is. January has been declared Get Organized Month by the National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO). We think starting out the year with a plan to organize is a great idea. Notice, we didn’t say you need to organize your life; let’s work on organizing your home first–choosing something big sounds good, but in reality, you could be setting yourself up for failure.
Don’t get us wrong on this. Set your goals; own your goals; heck conquer your goals. We just want you to succeed.
How do you do it? How do you make 2012 the year to get out of the “if I had time column” and into the fist pumping jumping up and down “I DID IT” column?
You know the answer to this.
- Write down what you want to organize in 2012.
- Ask your self questions: Do you really need to keep something? Why? Where can you store it? Asking questions like this can help you from becoming overwhelmed.
- Establish a timeline and break the goal into sections (and make them attainable). You’ve heard this before, but, how do you eat an elephant? One tiny bite at a time.
We’re going to help you with this. We’re searching the web for tips and ideas–trying them out, tossing what doesn’t work and keeping what does. This will be a project where you can share your goals, your successes and setbacks with others. Check in and let us know how you’re doing.
Each month in 2012, we’re going to have a guest post from some of our favorite professional organizers. We’re super excited about the potential we’re about to unlock for all of us this year. We can’t wait! Can you?
