PROCRASTINATION!  How many times have you started an organizing project and than never finished?  Or kept telling yourself you’ll do it tomorrow?  Here are some tips to get your procrastination a plan of attack!

  • Draw up a plan! If you have a room you want to organize, visualize how you want the room to look and write it down.  If you have a plan and an end in sight, you’ll be more likely to complete it.
  • Decide on a reward for yourself when your project is completed.  Maybe go to a movie with a friend, or buy yourself a mocha, whatever it is make it something you want enough to achieve your goal!
  • Now break the plan into pieces – start where it is best for you.  If you want to start with the most easiest task or the hardest task, whatever works… Just get started!
  • Don’t try to do it all in one day, break your tasks down into small time intervals… Set your timer for 15 minutes and get as much as done as you can.
  • Schedule your time when you are at your best!
  • Establish a deadline for the project to be completed and within this time frame, establish more dates on when you want specific tasks to be completed.  Set up a timetable!  Check it everyday, where are you?  Keep yourself accountable!
  • Now you have completed your project – Go enjoy your reward, and be proud of yourself!  You Did It!
