Did you know that January is national “Get Organized” month with NAPO (National Association of Professional Organizers)?  Yep, that’s right, a whole month for office and home organization!  A new year, a new month, a time for new year’s resolutions with “getting organized” at the top of many people’s lists. 

So, the definition of ‘resolution’ according to Merriam-Webster’s online dictionary:

 the act or process of resolving: as a : the act of analyzing a complex notion into simpler ones

I find that very fitting in relation to organizing.  When I go in to help people get organized it is because they are overwhelmed, stressed and don’t know where to begin.  It’s all too much.  But decluttering and organizing really is all about breaking things down into processes, steps so it won’t be so overwhelming.  That’s what I am there for, to break things down, provide support and show people the steps that are needed to reach their goals.

Important steps:

• Create a goal
• Set up supplies
• Sort belongings
• Make decisions on what to part with and what to keep
• Give belongings a home
• Remove the items you are parting from the home
• Maintenance

Think about your home organization goals and remember to break things down into steps so you aren’t overwhelmed!
