So you have decided that you are ready to "Get Organized". GREAT !
Now what ?
A lot of clients will just start throwing things out at a frantic pace. Everything must go!
It seems to an outsider that they have gone from one extreme to another. Disorganized on Monday to a purging maniac on Tuesday. They go at a frantic pace until finally they crash from exhaustion.
Organization is great. I am all for it, obviously. But you have to have a plan. Any plan. And you have to pace yourself so that you don't get burned out. Otherwise your enthusiasm will go out the window along with your energy.
Slow down! You have waited this long. Step back and come up with a plan. What do you really want your "end result" to be? Break your "plan" up into manageable sections (hours per day) so that you will want to continue the next day.
Do some things that will produce a "noticeable" result so that you feel like you have made some progress. This will fuel your motivation to continue.
It took you years to get "disorganized". It takes more than a few hours to get your home to look like the cover of a magazine (which is what clients expect).
Be realistic and you won't be disappointed.
