Know ahead of time that you will need to get rid of stuff.  Sometimes, things are hard to part with, but if your ultimate goal is to simplify and organize, you will need to eliminate your clutter. 

This can be a gradual process.  Keep a box by the door and as you see things in your home or office that you no longer need, put them in the box.  When the box is full, bring it to your favorite donation location.

All of my clients contact me with the same problem…

“I need to get organized, but I am overwhelmed and don’t know where to start.”

My response is always the same…

“What area makes you the craziest?”

That answer provides you with the place to start.

Once you have identified a place to start, make it a priority! Get it started and get it organized!

“Don’t tell me I’m burning the candle at both ends… Tell me where to get more wax!”
Life is hectic. We’re all busy and we’re all looking for ways to get things done more efficiently with less effort in order to have more time to relax and enjoy life. One way to do this is to be organized… putting things in a place that makes sense so you know where things are. An organized space (home or office) provides many benefits:
 peace of mind
 better flow
 sense of accomplishment
 better time management
 more time to relax and enjoy your surroundings
My hope is to provide simple steps and ideas for you to organize your world so you can enjoy these benefits.

Although it may take a lot of effort to GET organized, it takes much less effort to STAY organized. My collection of suggestions and ideas is meant to get you started on the road to organization. My hope is for you to experience the satisfaction and peace of being well organized!
