Before you can pitch the clutter, you have to ditch the excuses that got you cluttered in the first place.

Excuses are the biggest obstacle to being organized. We repeat the excuses to ourselves until we actually believe they are real. We say we can’t organize because “I have too much stuff. I don’t have a home for this stuff or I don’t have time for all this stuff.” In the end, don’t you have to get organized precisely because you do have too much stuff, no place to keep it and no time to deal with it?

Children can grow up organized. Begin with expectations that everything has a place and that all family members participate. Even a toddler can drop their dirty clothes in a hamper and a 3-year-old can put canned goods on a shelf after shopping.

Everyone can have success in organizing if they agree to four basic rules.

• Set a realistic goal. Life is not a 30-minute before-and-after TV show.
• Choose only one thing to work on at a time
• Divide the goal into small, manageable tasks.
• Accomplish your goal completely before beginning another project.

Visualize your space organized. Ask yourself "What exactly belongs in this area? What do I want it to look like? What will it contain? How accessible do I need things stored in here to be?

Then ask yourself "How did this space become so disorganized?"

If you don't change the behavior that got you disorganized in the first place, you'll find yourself in the same situation in no time. Make changing routine a part of changing the space.

Being organized

....or the lack of it...

sets the tone that rules the entire day,

from getting out the door in the morning

to the amount of stress we feel to the success of that day.

“We simply dig ourselves a deeper and deeper hole of disorganization by continuing to repeat patterns of behavior that do not work. You can learn to focus on your disorganized traits and counter them with positive solutions. Motivation to change is founding examining the excuses, both real and imaginary, that keep us disorganized.

Lea speaks on a variety of organizational issues. Learn the whys of disorganization, the steps to becoming organized, managing time plus organizing closets, the kitchen, tools and tips of the trade and more.
