What Is Getting Organized and Simplifying
Your Life?
by Marcia Ramsland
Getting organized is like swatting mosquitoes on a
summer day. You know the little creatures are bothering you, but their
buzzing around never gets so bad that you have to stop what you are
doing. When I hear someone say, “I’ve got to get organized,” however, I
know she is stressed and serious about changing. It’s like a mass of
annoying mosquitoes have finally gotten to her, and she is ready to do
something about it.
If too many flies are buzzing around your ears, you can get organized
in one of two ways:
- Organize and simplify “as you go” each day. For instance,
straighten up the kitchen each night plus clean out one refrigerator
shelf. In less than a week the whole refrigerator will be done.
- Set aside time to accomplish a bigger project. When something
like reorganizing a closet means you have to pull things apart,
schedule a half-day to get the whole project done.
Simplifying your life is all about recognizing your problem areas
and deciding which organizing system to use. Organizing is one of
the things you do to simplify. Simplifying is the way to enjoy the
manageable lifestyle you have organized at a reasonable pace.

Stay that Way!) |
