Greetings!
This
This is the month that I remember back to elementary school, when I would decorate the paper bag and tape it to my desk in preparation for it to be filled with little valentine cards from my classmates.
Each little card meant that someone was thoughtful enough to remember me and it was such a nice feeling.
The motivation to decorate the bag was abundantly clear - once done it could be filled with love. Now that I'm a little bit older, the motivation for completing a task isn't always as clear. In this edition of the Organized Lifestyle Magazine, we'll explore what might motivate you to (re)organize an area of your life.
At the end of the day, you may not get a cupid card from a classmate. But we can almost guarantee you that you'll feel a little more love for yourself.
Enjoy,

HOME
Your Sanctuary
There are so many areas of a home that could be more organized. Even as a professional organizer, I need to decide which area will get tweaked and what my motivation is for choosing that specific area.
Below we've listed a few common areas to get you thinking about your home and what the motivation might be to choose that area.
- The Kitchen
- You want to eat a healthier diet
- You find cooking is easier when you know what you have
- You can save money by cooking more meals at home
- The Closets
- You want to know where to find your clothes and accessories
- You want to put on clothes that have no wrinkles
- You want to look good on casual Fridays
- Your Home as Your Sanctuary
- You want to feel calm and happy coming home at the end of the day
Can you say "I love my garage" or "I'm comfortable because I know where everything is in my garage/storage area"?
Maybe your motivation is to save money which means you will need to clear out your storage unit.
I want to organize __________ area of my home and my motivation is:
1. ____________________________________________________________
2. ____________________________________________________________

Office
Your Money MakerWhen you think about your office, wherever that may be, does the organizational structure of this space truly support your workstyle. If not, ask yourself what is your motivation for making it better. - Administrative work
- Some love it and some don't. But being organized can reduce the overall time spent on admin duties and give you more time for other things
- Safe place to catch all
- Do you have a place in your office, a system that you trust, to put incoming papers, notes and documents until you process them
- Your email, your calendar and your tasks
- You'd like to be in control of these activities
- You'd like to feel that you can achieve your 2013 goals
This motivates me to organize my office:
1. ____________________________________________________________
2. ____________________________________________________________

| Spirit
What makes your heart skip a beat (in a good way)?
Our spirit is who we are and what makes us happy. When there are 'things' weighing us down, it's hard to laugh from the belly and it's also hard to be truthfully present in what we do each day.
Ask yourself how would achieving the level of organization you want affect your spirit. Would you be happier, walk more lightly, laugh more easily, be less stressed?
The following two statements describe how I will feel by achieving my personal organizational objectives.
1. ____________________________________________________________
2. ____________________________________________________________
