In a recent survey I did with business owners one of the reasons they gave for thinking that organizing was a problem for them was that they didn't know where to start.
So let's take a look at that.
The first thing to do is to organize your organizing! :)
Schedule a 10-15 minute time chunk to do some thinking and planning about your organizing project.
Now, grab a sheet of paper and list what needs to get organized.
Then think about which of those things need to get done first. Number your list in order of priority.
Next, think about what kind of time you can give to this. Could you set aside a couple of hours? Or is it something you will have to fit in as you can during the day or week?
If you can give a large chunk of time to this, then go ahead with your list as you have prioritized it.
If you can only do this in smaller time chunks, then you may need to go through your list and either break it down into smaller jobs or assign yourself a certain amount of time to work on a project at a time.
Try not to stop in the middle of an organizing project where you have lots of stuff laying around cluttering up your work space. That could just add stress and we don't want that. So think about which parts of the project you can do in the time you have available to you and work with that.
