Hit Your Target Goal!
January 21, 2010 by Nikki
Did you know 1/3 of people who made new years resolutions will give up by the end of January? According to a Time Management Survey from Franklin Covey. The reason given was because people just didn’t have the time. 
If getting your home in order was a goal for you in 2010, here are just a few simple organizing basics, to keep you on track!
1. Start small- don’t try to organize your whole home at once or think you can do it in a weekend. Multi-tasking and organizing do not get along. You’ll just get frustrated and overwhelm by trying to do it all once. Decide on what room to do first and break it into smaller pieces. For example; drawers, cupboards, shelves, closets. Do one space at a time.
2. Work when you at your best- you will get more done when you are feeling good and energized! I always achieve better results when I work in the morning. I am more effective and get so much more done!
3. Work in small time increments- Just work 15 minutes a day. Whatever fits into your schedule. But try to do something everyday, to keep up your motivation, when you see progress you want to do more.
4. Remember your goals- Review your resolutions. Why did you choose to get organized? What will it mean to you and your family to have your home in order? When you are starting to feel like giving up, remember why you started in the first place. Remember how it feels to accomplish just one space, and what a difference it made. Lifestyle changes are never easy and can be very time consuming. But in the end… they are worth it!
Happy Organizing!
