I get a lot of calls from potential clients who say that their spouse is tired of the disorganization and they just want to throw everything in the trash.
Or they are neat but their spouse isn’t and how do they get them to be more organized? Or their entire family does nothing in the house and they have to do it all.
So what can I do to help them? Honestly, not much. I can organize their homes and teach the willing family members the how’s and why’s of organization, but unless everyone is on board and gets with the program – nothing is going to change.
I can’t wave my magic wand and make everything better. I can give them solutions to their problems, but if they don’t take my advice, there is nothing I can do.
Just like a therapist or lawyer or doctor – if they tell you something and you choose not to listen to their expert advice, you will still have the same issues that you started with.
A family has to be willing to work together. Partners have to help each other and stand by each other. Parents have to set boundaries for their kids. In a family, it has to be a team effort. Everyone needs to have a clearly defined set of responsibilities and everyone has to do their part.
If not, instead of a calm and clutter free house you will have chaos, clutter and a big mess.
The first step to having an organized house is to have everyone in the house work as a team. That’s what family is all about. A lot of people have forgotten that.
Remember: Less Clutter = Less Stress (sm) in your home, your business and your life.
Happy Organizing !
