For those of you who do not have the 4 minutes to watch the segment, this is what we covered:

Rule Number 1: The containers are NOT the organizers, it’s your brain!!!

Products are only TOOLS that help you to stay organized. With that in mind, let’s get started:

• Purge your area of broken and unrelated home office items. Dry pens, old brochures, obsolete information, used file folders, pop cans…

• Set up appropriate files so you can eliminate the PILES!*

Keep your most active files at your finger tips.

• Create a CLEAR work surface at least 2 feet by 4 feet.

• Product tips: Get stuff in an upright position. Piles hide & waste time. File drawers, file holders, magazine holders, book ends, pencil cup etc.

*If you have struggled with getting organized, consider hiring a Certified Professional Organizer to help you set up custom systems that will meet your needs long-term. Remember, it’s not about buying a lot of organizing containers, it’s about helping you establish great decision making criteria going forward so you are self empowered to know what you are going to let in (schedule or space) and what you can let go.

Piles can be very overwhelming because they are filled with decisions you need to make and opportunities missed. Having a non-biased, non-judgmental  professional who can help get you organized around core issues vs. just Band-Aiding symptoms will serve you well your whole life.
