This can be a time when your home or office turn into "hurricane alley" because you and your family are out of your usual routines with school out and holiday time.
Here are my "Top 5 Tips" for starting or maintaining any organizing projects you might want to tackle.
1) Paper Management - choose a permanent place to handle your paper. Be sure to have a paper recycling bin and garbage can handy. Use the "F.A.T" method when handling all paper-File, Act or Toss. Spend more time "tossing" paper into the recycle bin.2) Tackle one space at a time and finish it. Don't begin another project until the first is done.
3) Make a regular appointment (ex. once a week for 1 hour) with yourself on your calendar and keep it.
4) Remember that organizing is a process, not an event.
5) The goal of organizing is to be able to "find what you want, when you want it".
The average person spends 45 minutes a day looking for things (keys, info, glasses etc.) which translates into six weeks a year in wasted and frustrated time!!!
When you're done, sit back and enjoy the benefits of your labour.
