Organizing 101
Create and label email and document files on your computer with the same names as your hard copy files in an office or desk area.
Use your brain to solve problems; don't overload it with details that your calendar or computer can remember for you.
For To-Do lists, schedule items or break down goals into steps that will bring them to fruition. Whatever you put on your To-Do lists needs a date attached, and thus can be scheduled on your calendar. If an item has no date, make one up and put on the calendar on an available date. An item floating on a master list is meaningless. If you write it on a calendar a specific task on an actual day, it becomes part of a literal plan. |

Organizing Tip
Want to put the collection of hotel shampoos and soaps to good use? Consider a cleantheworld.org donation.
What about stuffed animals? Send them to stuffedanimalsfore
mergencies.org which donates them to shelters, hospitals and aid workers
|
|
When Decluttering, Use Black Bags for Donations -- family members may see items if they're in a clear/opaque bag, and sabotage the process
|
|
Think About This
Nothing is special when there's too much of it. The world is full of beautiful objects, but they cannot all live in your drawers. |
|
Feel free to contact me with any topics you would like to see addressed, or if you need assistance with decluttering, organizing strategies, space planning, or paper management.
Sincerely,
Patty McPherson

PRIORITIZING IS...
dedicating yourself to making your goals a reality. All we need to do is make decisions about which goals we truly want to achieve. Once you embrace your priorities, you'll need to schedule steps that make your goals a reality. -- Regina Leeds, One Year to an Organized Work Life |
