Gimme Three Steps
Ok, You Asked for It! Three Steps to Kick-Start Organizing Goals…
If you are organizing a room, it is best to set guidelines for the project. These guidelines will not only help you define what you want but also help determine project timeline and framework.
(1) Set an attainable goal.
Don’t say: I will attempt to organize the entire kitchen in one day.
Do say: I will spend 1 hour each day for the next three days organizing the kitchen cabinets.
You know your limitations better than anyone, and this is not the area in which to bite off more than you can chew.
(2) Set a time limit for your project.
Don’t say: I will get to this when I get a chance.
Do say: I will have a completely organized closet by the end of March.
It is more likely that you will prioritize with a looming deadline. If it helps, have a friend or a spouse hold you to your goal.
(3) Break larger projects into smaller projects.
Don’t say: I will organize my house completely over the next two weeks.
Do say: I want to organize my entire house, but I will start with the garage. I will have two weeks to finish it, and then I will move to the bathroom, kitchen, etc.
I believe Confucius said it best – "When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don’t adjust the goals, adjust the action steps."
