January is Get Organized & Be Productive (GO) Month and there’s no better time to consult an organizing or productivity professional.
Clutter and disorganization can drain your energy and contribute to unwarranted stress, frustration, and anxiety. Ready to start the new year off right by getting organized and increasing productivity? Here are our TOP TIPS:
- Start small, tackle areas that are not so overwhelming (whether that’s a couple drawers in the bathroom, or a bedside table).
- Time yourself. Set a timer each day you commit to doing the work. It can be for 10 minutes, or an hour, whatever will help you maintain that consistency & concentration.
- Review items & create zones (keep, donate, sell, discard): every item should have a dedicated section to keep order in the home throughout the assessment process.
- If you’re feeling overwhelmed, take a break. You can always re-visit an item if you can’t decide right away on what to do with it. Don’t let one item create a roadblock and disrupt the rest of the organizing process.
- Make it enjoyable! Background music always seems to keep things flowing and lighten the load.
