Be Good to Yourself
-
Enjoy the Process
Getting organized is a clarifying, cleansing way of connecting to what's important to you.
-
Work with Your Natural Habits
Observe where your piles tend to accumulate, and create storage there.
-
Tackle the Little Things
Sometimes minor changes can make an enormous difference. Just start off by
conquering one closet, your briefcase, or your purse.
-
Remove the Obstacles
Untangle the clutter that's standing between you and the productive, fulfilling life that you crave.
-
Fuel Your Creativity
Getting Organized will free you to express
your talents more fully.
-
Forgive Yourself
We all make occasional purchases that turn out to be wrong for us. Give those things to someone who will enjoy them.
-
Improve Your Quality of Life
Give yourself access to the things you use and love by getting rid of the stuff you don't.
What to do
-
SPACE Formula
Sort - see what you have. Purge - keep only what you use and love. Assign - make a home for everything. Containerize - separate and beautify. Equalize - refine and maintain.
-
Create Space
Send your dormant possessions back out into the world for use.
-
Ponder New Purchases
Before buying anything new, ask yourself "Where will I store this?"
-
Repair It or Toss It
If something has been lying around your house waiting to be fixed for over a year, commit to repairing it within the next week, or, let it go.
-
Think of the Money
Letting go of unused items can put extra cash in your pocket. Donate them for the tax deduction, or resell them at a garage sale or consignment shop.
-
Create a Treasure Box
Some memorabilia is a wonderful treat, but too much is overwhelming. Turn a beautiful trunk into a treasure box, and keep only what will fit inside.

Focus on the Reward
If you put something in its proper place, you'll feel so good when you go to look for it, and, it's there.
