Human Side of Organizing

Getting organized isn't easy for everyone. If you're struggling, which is completely normal, know that you're not alone. Consider these ideas:

  • Why me?- It's not just you. There is an entire organizing industry devoted to helping people with their organizing challenges. It's OK to reach out for help.

  • Why overwhelmed?- The number one reason that clients contact me for help is that they're overwhelmed. To reduce overwhelm, break projects down into tiny steps. That will help you build momentum and get unstuck.

  • Why is this so slow?- I get it. We can be so impatient. Organizing takes time. There are many decisions to make, new habits to be developed, and systems to tweak. Allow space for experimentation and curiosity. Remember to breathe.
