-
Since
organizing can be very emotionally charged—allow yourself
to take baby steps.
-
Start
with one area at a time
-
Set
a reasonable time limit for each organizing session (Do NOT
try to organize all at one - this will lead to instant anxiety
overload!)
-
Divide
your treasures (paper, files, clothes, dishes, etc) into the
following categories:
- Keep
- Donate
- trash
- undecided
-
Stick
with your reasonably timed daily organizing session (3-4 times/week)
-
Reward
yourself weekly for your efforts
-
Don't
be too hard on yourself (Rome wasn't built in a day!)
-
Consult
a professional organizer to kickstart your organizing
campaign.
