Organizing Tips to get you started:
The "prime" space in your home or office are the spaces that are the easiest to get to.
For example, the mid-height shelves in a pantry or closet, or the drawers in the kitchen or in your desk. Use these spaces for the items you use most often and you'll save yourself from constantly bending way down, reaching for a stool, or getting up while working at your desk.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Having a hard time deciding where to start? Make room in closets, drawers and storage areas first. Then you'll have options for the items that need a home.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When bringing something new into your space, consider where it will go before you get there.
If space is tight, is there something else that could be eliminated to make room, or maybe you have an old version that the new item will replace.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To organize the tasks and paperwork you need to get to, setup 4 letter trays.
Label them with:
NOW
THIS WEEK
THIS MONTH
FUTURE
As you sort through mail or paper, put it into the time-frame where it fits.
You'll reduce stress by knowing what tasks need your attention NOW!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
During a spare moment in your day, think of one thing you can do that will improve the organization of your space.
As you complete that task, move on to something else that will make a difference too.
Soon you'll have a space that's just a little more organized!
