How to Get Organized and Stay Organized - Strategy 3 Decision Strategy

Home Organizing for Beginners: Organizing solutions for moms that are at the beginning of their home organizing journey.

I’m going to guess this has happened to you before, and I only know because it has happened to me too! You finally feel motivated to get organized. You have the whole weekend planned, you’re going to start with your office, then do the junk drawer in the kitchen. You know it’s a stretch goal, but you totally feel up for it. Saturday morning hits, you get up, get your cup of coffee and dive in starting with your desk. It’s cluttered, stuff piled up all over it so you start there. You start with a pile of paperwork, you see some old bills and think oh no! Did I pay those? You take a look online and find that they are paid. OK, still feeling motivated you dive back into the rest of the piles. There are some of the books your kids used to read, you page through them and feel a pang of sadness. You brush that to the side along with the books. Now you open a drawer, you know the top of the desk isn’t done, but that all needs a lot of hard decisions, the drawers should be easier. But they’re not. You forgot that the last time you got organized you shoved a bunch of old paperwork inside. UGH! Maybe the junk drawer will be easier and you need more coffee. It’s noon and nothing is done yet! You make lunch, sit down to watch a show and pretty much never return to the project.

This happens because making decisions is HARD. And it’s ok. If making the decision of what to do with your kids books was easy, they wouldn’t be piled on your desk, right?

As someone who is or feels like they’re just starting their home organizing journey you want to be set up for lasting home organizing solutions, right? In order to make that happen you’ll have to do something different than you’ve done before or what society tells us.

Instead of starting with cute bins and resolving to just get rid of everything, you can put together a Decision Strategy. In this episode I’ll share with you what a Decision Strategy is, why you need one and what to consider to create your own.
