Begin with “LESSON ONE: INTRODUCTION”
▪ Getting Started – Taking a step closer to BEING AND LIVING ORGANIZED!
Is the clutter in your life getting out of control? Do you live in a constant state of chaos? Do you spend half of your day searching for things? Are you exhausted from constantly looking for things, losing keys, vital documents and valuables, living out of piles, often running late resulting in embarrassment, guilt, low self-esteem, despair and even depression? Do you feel that your life will be so much better if only you had the ability to be and live organized? You have tried, right? You have honestly tried your utmost, many times, for so long…. You’ve read many books on the subject, but somehow life and stuff just seem to keep on getting out of control and when you can least afford it, the domino effect hits home. You spent lots of money on shelves, dividers, bins and containers that were supposed to bring order into your chaos. You have given up so many hours honestly trying to bring method in the madness, but unfortunately those little victories didn’t last long before being swept up by the overwhelming torrent of stuff …and more stuff … Within days of all of that work, your house was back to looking like a tornado went through it!
Maybe you started to believe that organizing must be a mysterious talent that only a few privileged people get born with, and the unlucky rest of us will inevitably keep suffering for our lack of giftedness in that area. But there is hope to get out of your maze … even for the most notoriously disorganized person! You can turn yourself around! We can learn to be smart and outsmart our messy problem! You can tackle this and achieve success! Start with something small and manageable that won’t take too long and persistently keep at it till it is completed. This will build your confidence to succeed at larger projects in time and help you to understand the basic concepts of organizing so you can grow from there on.
Organizing is not all about throwing things out, but about identifying what is important to you, prioritizing and getting access to what you need when you need it. You can avoid wasting precious time and energy looking for things you know you have, but can’t find when you need to, ending up buying those again and wasting money in the process. In stead we can learn how to un-clutter the clutter, how to stop cupboards from spewing out their contents when opening the door and overflowing drawers to get stuck. Clutter control is the answer.
Organizing can be immensely gratifying in this changing world with its increasing demands. It is not for the faint hearted though, since it sometimes will require courage, lots of persistence, self-discipline and self-control. It will invariably result in a character building exercise in most areas of your life. Organizing is not a talent…..it is a skill, a remarkably simple skill that anyone can learn! All that you need is the willingness and the “want to” to learn a completely new approach to the organizing process, a change of heart, a change in the way you think about it. Developing an understanding of what’s been holding you back in all your past efforts, causing you untold psychological suffering. There are very specific skills, techniques and tools that you need to learn that will make organizing manageable, tolerable, and attainable and…even fun, especially in hindsight when you will be reaping all the benefits! Just think of the sense of achievement you will enjoy when you have acquired these new and sustainable skills that will put YOU in control of the clutter, instead of feeling frustrated, overwhelmed and hopeless! You are about to discover how gratifying and fulfilling organizing can be. You can be more successful than you ever dared to imagine! Just organizing a small project can be so incredibly liberating and a huge achievement for a person that have been struggling with this problem for years. You can empower yourself to overcome your messy problem!

For the overwhelmed amongst you, a ray of light: you need not drown in a sea of chaos at home, nor are you doomed to live your life confronted by constant situations that are out of control.
