In case you haven’t guessed by now, organizing is not an end in itself. There is always a “WHY?” that must be in place. Who wants to even get started on this thankless job otherwise? (Besides the organizer who loves it!)
Fill in the blanks to find your WHY.
I want/need to organize my _______________________ so I can _________________________.
These are some compelling reasons to organize my clients have expressed:
“… home office, so I can attract and keep more clients”;
“… closet, so I can get dressed quickly and get to work on time feeling confident”;
“… kitchen command center, so I can better keep track of my family’s activities”;
“… basement, so I can get rid of non-essentials and find what I have stored quickly”.
Think of the pain that your disorganization is causing. Then imagine what your space would be like if you could have your ideal solution come true. How would that solution make a difference in your life? THAT is your WHY!
Only when your WHY is big enough will you take action. The most common results that will stir folks to action are:
- Save time
- Benefit my family
- Save money
- Be more productive with less effort
- Avoid physical pain, be more healthy
- Gain emotional freedom
The best part for me is, when someone figures out their WHY and is ready to take action, I get to help – with written encouragement, group support classes, show-you-how eBooks, and 1-on-1 organizing sessions. Gotta love this job!
When you know your WHY, the pieces fall in place and you will move forward with purpose and resolve.
Please feel free to share your “why” with us, leave a comment.
