You don't need to go overboard and make a lot of lists or promises that you won't keep. You don't need to go out and buy a lot of organizing products. You don't need to throw everything out of your house.
All you have to do is try! That's all! Just try! Take it slow. One small space at a time. One small change at a time.
One rarely worn article of clothing or one rarely played with or outgrown toy or one never read magazine. Put it in a pile to donate. Watch the room suddenly become less cluttered and more organized. One small pile at a time.
Write down all of the things that bother you in your home or office. Then pick the thing that bothers you the most and make a real effort to try and change it. If you don't know how or can't do it by yourself....there is help available.
The key is to just start somewhere. One step at a time.
If you make the project too big you might get overwhelmed and stop before you even get started. Or you might start and then get overwhelmed when you realize that it won't get done in an hour like on T.V.
Getting organized takes time. It also looks worse once you start and get into the project. You usually have to take everything out of a room (or closet or desk....) and that makes things look a lot more cluttered than when you started. But remember..... getting organized is a process.
It will get better if you keep at it. Don't give up! GET ORGANIZED! One step at a time.
Remember.... Less Clutter = Less Stress....
