5 Steps of Assessing An Organizing Issue

When faced with an organizing (or lack thereof) issue, I find that the following five goals (steps) work for me:

1. To gather information
2. To define problem areas
3. To determine needs and wants
4. To talk about the cause of the problem areas
5. To create a plan/strategy

These 5 things are a great sequence to follow too. And the hope is that is aligns with the objectives of the client/person/friend/yourself. "They" should want to fix and understand the problem and find a solution. Gathering an accurate assessment of things before you attempt to begin is the way to go.

One Way To Make Your Life Easier

The life you want is up to you and is different for each person. There are as many processes to making ones life easier. I know ONE way to make your life easier:

Organizing the rooms and spaces in your home.

 Foyer to mudroom. Upstairs and downstairs. Side to side. Figure out the space or room that gives you the biggest frustration and start there.

I Can't See My Floor!

Your entire house or apartment is cluttered! Every room needs your attention! It's overwhelming! Here is a tip to start:

Choose a space you spend the most time in. The one with the clutter that irritates you greatly! (Irritation can be used for positive gains.) Or it could be the room that is keeping you from reaching your personal or professional goals. AND START THERE!

In the past I've given the tip to start in the least cluttered space. That works for some people. Starting with the biggest space that you spend the most of the time in works for others. One of the benefits is seeing the results quicker and in a more profound way.

SO which space/room is it for you?
