Getting Organised Saves you Time and Stress

Being disorganised costs you time and money. Avoid being stressed and create more time by being more organised and planning ahead.

Here are a few tips to help you stay organised:

  • Buy two printer cartridges each time you make a purchase. That way you will never run out of ink.
  • Buy extra light globes, so you always have some spare. You will never be left in the dark again.
  • Stand over the rubbish bin when you open your mail and “bin” any junk mail. That way you are guaranteed never to have a buildup of junk mail on the kitchen bench again.
  • Put a hook at the door so you can hang your keys on it as soon as you walk in the house. You will never waste time searching for your lost keys.

Until next time, Happy Organising.

Lacking the Motivation to Declutter and Get Organized?

by | Sep 10, 2012 | Tips

So often when my team and I meet with clients, we hear them say the same thing. “I just don’t know where to start”, or “I just don’t have the energy”, or “it is so over whelming, so I just close the door”.

What has taken months, possibly years to build up is not going to be cleared in a couple of hours or even a day. This is something that I always ask clients to think about. I find this helps put it into perspective. Equally though, you need to have some consistent strategies in place to help tackle the buildup of items.

Here are some key tips to help you get motivated, be organised and start decluttering:

  • Be consistent. You need to dedicate time each day to tackle the problem. Set a goal, it might only be 10 minutes a day, but set time aside every day and start decluttering.
  • Set a timer as your guide and don’t stop your decluttering until it goes off.
  • Think of a little reward that you can give yourself once you have finished the job. It might only be to have ten minutes off, or perhaps it’s having an uninterrupted coffee. Whatever it is, you can only have it once the decluttering is done.

Until next time, happy organising.
