All good things start with a plan!

I’m not sure if that is entirely true, but when it comes to getting your home or small business organized - it most definitely is.

No one should attempt a big organizing project, in what might feel like an “out of control” space, without a good plan. When you start a project on your own, or have the help of a professional organizer, like Everyday Organized, there should be no moving forward without a plan.

Everyday Organized follows a PLAN – SORT – WEED – LIVE strategy that ensures every organizing project gets started and finished, while meeting clients’ goals. There is no jumping ahead! Creating a plan always comes before anything else.

If you have a big organizing project to tackle, take the time to make a plan.

Ask yourself:

• What are my goals for this space?

• How will I organize items?

• What is my timeline?

• What is my budget?

• What can I do myself and what do I need help with?

• What am I willing to part with and how will I make those decisions?

• What is holding me back from getting this job done?

• Where can I fit this into my calendar?

• How will I reward myself for sticking with it?

Tackling a large project without a plan almost always leads to A) a bigger mess B) a loss of interest C) a job that is less than half done. No one wants that!

If you need help with your next organizing project, or just where to start, check out the “Get Me Started” service package, that is designed to help clients get going on a project by creating a plan that they can follow on their own. It is a great way to start living EVERYDAY ORGANIZED.
