Clutter brings with it a good deal of guilt. But guilt, like clutter, needs to be purged from your life! Below are some thoughts that hold us back from doing our best organizing, and some tips for dealing with them.
An organized room has to be pretty: Not so! Who decides what pretty is, anyway? A few days worth of mail on the kitchen table, or a pile of shoes by the front door is ok, if you can find what you need when you need it. But if you're taking more than a minute to find something, or you're tripping over the pile of shoes, a better solution might be in order.
Once it's organized, I'm done: Organizing is a process as well as a project. We get behind sometimes, and that's ok. But once it's all picked up, it has to be maintained. Putting organizing systems in place that work for you, and keeping up with them is essential to staying organized.
