Matter of Heart Organizing:  Newsletter

Greetings,

Here are three great organizing tips for you:

1. Write every important thing down.
I'm surprised by how many people who tell me they try to hold appointments, tasks, and ideas in their head. This burdens our working memories, creates stress, and prevents us from being in the moment. PLUS, it's been proven that when we write good ideas and "to-do's" down, we're 90% more likely to follow through with them!


2. Add new organizing habits to your routine one at a time.
Becoming organized requires change in behavior for most of us. Change has been proven to be most effective when it's done in small steps over time. Pick one new habit, like hanging up your clothes or clearing the papers from your desk at the end of the day, and practice til you've mastered it - then build as you add the next organizing step And remember, there's no failure if you fall back - just opportunity to learn what works and what doesn't as you endeavor to change!


3. Practice new organizing habits in the morning and before you go to bed.
Most of us have some routine we follow wen we first get up and before we go to bed. Adding a new step to these a.m. and p.m. rituals gives us the best chance to repeat the new habit enough for it to become second nature. 90 days of practice is usually what it takes to incorporate a new behavior.

Below are three great NEW opportunities to clear your clutter AND give to communities in need while doing it.

I'll join you in contribution by donating an additional 1/2 hour FREE to any 3-hour organizing session you book by October 31st to gather items for these charities.

Contact me if you're interested in any of these opportunities. Why wait?
