Real Solutions For Living Newsletter Vol.1 ~ Issue 2 ~ Summer 2007 from Nancy at http://www.realsolutionsforliving.com Just Do It Are you waiting until you have the time to get organized? Is that due to a true lack of time or procrastination? Perhaps its because you see it as an enormous task and figure it will take quite a while to get it under control. Id like to suggest you take a new approach. Consider setting aside small chunks of time each day or on a weekly basis to work on your organizing project. You could work a half hour at a time, two hours at a time, or each Saturday afternoon for example. The point is to chip away bit by bit, steadily making progress. You may actually find this approach to organizing easier to handle. With smaller amounts of time spent on sorting and decision making, you wont burn out as quickly. Forget about waiting until you have the ideal amount of time to get started. Rather, get started today! Set the timer for a half hour and see how much you can get accomplished! Did You Know? More than 90% declare an overwhelming sense of time-povertypart of an epidemic of anxiety and pressure in our society. --Psychology Today Organizing Resources Books: Crazy Busy by Edward Hallowell, MD Making Peace with the Things in Your Life by Cindy Glovinsky,MSW, ACSW Conquering Chronic Disorganization by Judith Kolberg Organizing From the Inside Out by Julie Morgenstern Organizing for the Creative Personby Dorothy Lehmkuhl & Dolores Lamping, CSW Messie No More by Sandra Felton Support: www.messies.com/support_groups www.clutterersanonymous.net www.jamienovak.com/clutterclubs Organizing Tip Dont leave home without it!
