“Organization is not an option, it is a fundamental survival skill and distinct competitive advantage” ~ Pam N. Woods
“It takes but one positive thought when given a chance to survive and thrive to overpower an entire army of negative thoughts.” - Robert H. Schuller.
Whatever your personal strategy for dealing effectively with DE-CLUTTERING DESPAIR, be sure to take into account the following:
You’re always behind, always late, always apologizing to people! It’s distracting, demoralizing, embarrassing! You are terrified of someone calling you up on very short notice to say they are dropping in unexpectedly. You feel that you can do so much more if only you were organized!
It is now within your reach! Go for it! Wouldn’t it be nice to feel in control, feel ready for life, and enjoying life? That is what organizing can do for you! One secret to success in organizing is the ability to prioritize your various commitments, enlist the help of others, and not sweat the small stuff.
First, you can enjoy "Part One" of the FREE, five-part mini-e-course, which is taken straight from this newly released Organizing 1-2-3 eBook.
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 desire to learn a whole 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, possibly causing you untold emotional suffering.

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 depressed!

“Overcoming being Dis-organized: Practical advice for De-cluttered spaces and Organized daily living”
This practical course will help you make the most of PERSONAL AND NATURAL INTERVENTION STRATEGIES FOR DEALING WITH BEING DIS-ORGANIZED and ANXIOUS.
Maybe you started to believe that organizing must be a mysterious talent that only a few privileged people are born with, and the unlucky rest of us will inevitably keep suffering for our lack of knowledge 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!
Organizing is much more than just throwing the clutter out. It is about establishing new and invigorating environments that will inspire you to unleash your creative thinking. It will give you a sense of your own personal power and develop the sweetest sense of achievement that will motivate you to no end in reaching far more than you ever thought you were capable of.
Best of all, it will free you to pursue the higher goals, dreams and ideals you have in life. You will have so much more time than you ever thought possible by living the life you thought could only be a dream….. your spirit will soar free in stead of being chained to the grinding despair of constantly drowning in oceans of clutter!
The constant stress from living with a chronic clutter problem can possibly affect your health. It makes a person feel overwhelmed and powerless to change things around them.
With so much disorder and unnecessary items about, you will find it is difficult to be focused and life will feel more and more like a meaningless struggle. Along with your energy, your spirit seems to sag and you may lose interest in life and feel depressed. Don’t allow things to slip out of control so far! It is time to dig in. Get your space organized, get back in control!

Part Two "Organizing 1-2-3 FREE Mini-eCourse"
“Overcoming being Dis-organized: Practical advice for De-cluttered spaces and Organized daily living”
TODAY, we are continuing our discussion on OVERCOMING BEING DIS-ORGANIZED, and more strategies you may want to implement to cope better, while working on getting rid of the CLUTTER once and for all. You need your family’s support to maintain your new organizing systems once you have conquered the clutter.
Learning and practicing better communication skills is a wonderful way to reconnect to your family and heal relationships that may have been damaged. Three basic skills are invaluable and critical to enabling families to function properly on all levels:
Suffering as result of being disorganized is a most personal, intimate and emotionally painful matter that affects one’s self-image, so one tends to focus on one’s imperfections and shortcomings and starts to question one’s self-worth. If you are discouraged and feel as if your whole life is disintegrating under the weight of this problem, then the Organizing 1-2-3 eBook is for you!
Anxiousness and irritability often results, as well as secrecy, shame and withdrawal, as the individual realizes that his or her behavior is not desirable or understandable to others, so social events are avoided. People that continue to live in cluttered, messy conditions may even experience depression.
We have to learn how the inner drive mechanisms work and, more importantly, how to change things - only then will we have the knowledge and power to overcome the natural setbacks that may occur and gradually start to control the compulsion to procrastinate and aggravate the situation further.
Disorganized people deal with their embarrassment and emotional pain in different ways, like avoidance of other people, hiding, denying, over compensation or costly interventions just to get rid of the nightmare.
Are you there too?
Again, thank you for reading Part Two in our five-day series of the FREE, five-part mini-e-course, which is taken straight from this newly released Organizing 1-2-3 eBook. We will now continue on to Part Three of this mini-ecourse below.
Part Three "Organizing 1-2-3 FREE Mini-eCourse"
“Overcoming being Dis-organized: Practical advice for De-cluttered spaces and Organized daily living”
In order to create a lasting solution, ask probing questions first, plan well and then attempt to organize the disarray afterwards in a rational, unemotional and well planned way. First, think everything through and design a system based on your unique personality and adjusted accordingly.
You need to design an environment that is a reflection of who you are and the way you operate. Your aim is to create an environment that you find easy to maintain because it comes natural to you and is tweaked to your needs. Most people think that when they get organized they have to change who they are. That is why their systems don’t last or work for long before they fall back into bad patterns and ways.
You keep trying to retrain and force yourself to be more disciplined and do things differently to what comes natural to you and what you like and feel most at ease and comfortable with. Come up with alternatives that allow you to work where you are most comfortable, like doing your bills on the kitchen table instead of the back office. Adjust things according to your natural inclinations and habits. Make it work for you and not against you to avoid frustration and the sense of failure. Set yourself up for success and not for failing in your own eyes.
It is possible to adjust your lifestyle to promote your general well being and state of mind. How I live and feel, what I eat, exercise, cope with stress and sleep may make a world of difference in how I cope with the challenge of becoming organized – or not! Are you eating right, drinking enough water each day, getting enough fresh air, sunshine and exercise? If not, you can certainly do something about it.
When deciding whether to save or toss something, use the “W_A_S_T_E” acronym to help you.
1. Is the item Worthwhile to keep?
2. Will you be using this item Again? If you haven’t used it in a year, you probably won’t need it again. If you don’t use it, lose it!
3. Can this item easily be found Somewhere else?
4. Will anything serious happen if you Toss it? Toss or donate old stuff when you buy new items, except when you attach huge sentimental value to the items.
5. Do you need the Entire thing? If not, keep what you need and toss or donate the rest.
My personal choices may make the difference between losing and winning the battle. Even if I don’t have a lot of options in life, there is still one thing I have a choice about - my attitude. I can achieve amazing things if I have the right attitude and put my resolve behind it – not allowing negative feelings to drag me down. “I can achieve anything that I really put my will and heart behind!” Don’t allow the enormity of your challenge to obscure all the avenues for growth and forward movement that may be available to you!
Even if you are at the point of discouragement, somewhere down there in your spirit you still find enough resolve to make that decision of your will to turn your life around. Developing good personal habits are crucial. Whether you love and accept yourself, know who you are, what you want in life and where you are going creates a sense of self-respect, self-esteem, and self-worth that others instinctively feel and will treat you accordingly.
Regardless of your particular case, requirements or obstacles, you will find some help, encouragement and motivation for a happy life here!
Again, thank you for reading this mini-ecourse and I hope Part Three has been informative for you!

Part Four "Organizing 1-2-3 FREE Mini-eCourse"
“Overcoming being Dis-organized: Practical advice for De-cluttered spaces and Organized daily living”
Harmonize and Synergize your life, your space and … SIMPLIFY! If your primary goal is to live in a neat, clutter-free environment, think of creating a smart system in which to operate freely, saving you valuable time as result of not having to hunt for lost items. Having more time to spend doing what you enjoy most is everyone’s dream.
By designing your own system, you will find methods of doing things and tasks in easier ways that might otherwise have been a strain. Papers cluster everywhere in every area of the home and need to first be cleaned up in order to create order and clear surfaces. Items lying around without purpose should be put away in designated places.
Designate a place for every item of value in your entire home. Use baskets, bins or drawers to store away items. Use files or folders to organize and store papers. With designated places established, it is much easier to remain organized.
To become organized it is crucial to break out of the very negative, self-defeating and often destructive ways of thinking that often have become so automatic, ingrained – and chronic, that you are not even aware of the negativity of it anymore. This you can do with the strong desire from within yourself to change from this situation where you are just “existing” in and break free to a new life that’s enjoyable and worth living.
Stress makes most challenges worse. Some psychological effects that a very disorganized person may experience include fears, emotional turmoil, frustration, social isolation, hopelessness, despair and even depression and anxiety. Relationship problems and struggles to cope with career demands and just day-by-day functioning as a human being become huge challenges in themselves, because the person loses a balanced perspective on life and focuses only on the condition that has become the problem that their life revolves around.
To decrease stress you may consider exploring relaxation and breathing disciplines, visualization techniques, music, self-awareness, mindfulness and consciously choosing to approach life from a positive point of view.
Organizing is not a goal or an end in itself. It is not a destination, but a significant doorway to achieving your dreams and higher goals, a better life, more time and energy to enjoy the things you love and that are important to you. It is a powerful motivator, and it’s absence is as powerful a discouragement.
You are designing a system that achieves far more than clean counter tops. Learning the skills to be organized is the greatest gift that you can ever give yourself! Applying these skills that you can learn is a way of taking care of yourself and greatly improving your sense of well-being. Achieving success in learning organizing skills will enable you to have time to serve others much better as you will be in control of your own situation, no longer discouraged, anxious or depressed!
Learn more about BECOMING ORGANIZED in this newly released Organizing 1-2-3 eBook. Again, thank you for reading this mini-ecourse and I hope Part Four has been informative for you!
“Overcoming being Dis-organized: Practical advice for De-cluttered spaces and Organized daily living”
Your final Part Five of your five-day "Organizing 1-2-3 FREE Mini-eCourse" is here! We stress yet again at this point that no TWO individuals are the same, neither will face the same circumstances, challenges or have similar obstacles to overcome. If you want to have more time to do the things you enjoy, organizing yourself is KEY! That is why it is so utterly important that you take a hands-on and proactive approach for making a difference in your own life. IT IS UP TO YOU AND IN YOUR HANDS!
To succeed and push through your organizing project you need a strong motivation "beyond” the clutter, a compelling reason, a goal you seriously want to reach. Think about the space you want to organize and ask yourself why do you want to do it. What is your compelling reason? What big picture goal in your life are you going to accomplish because that space is organized? This goal will be your compelling reason and your beacon to work towards completing the whole process.
Why try to remember everything? Help your memory by writing things down immediately when you think of what needs to be done. Prioritize your lists. Plan ahead for the next day and assign priorities to the tasks you need to do according to their importance. Planning can save you enormous amounts of time. It is important to have a motivated and positive “I CAN remember” and “I CAN do it” attitude.
Simplify your space and life! Create a simple organizing system. Zones are key. Organize any space in different zones of activity and group similar or related items or required tools together close to where the activity happens. Create places for things and assign designated places for grouping related items together close to the relevant activity zones. Then your space will work for you and help you maintain order in a natural way. Develop an efficient and very simple model to use in every space you have to organize. Divide the space in activity zones, where everything needed is stored at it’s point of use in cute, functional and efficient containers. All you need is right there!
Very important is the healing of relationships, where everyone works together for the common good to create harmony. This is worth striving for and may need some personal sacrifice, unselfishness and a very mature approach. This will make for good character building for everyone involved.
Awareness of the chaos they create and the dire need to change towards becoming more organized, and lots of encouragement instead of rejection and resentment will go a long way to help a person to grow into an attitude of honestly wanting to better themselves through acquiring and developing those organizing skills, as well as the indispensable self-discipline that is vital for success. The decision to change must come from deep inside the core of the person involved. He or she needs to choose for him or herself and then act upon it. IT IS POSSIBLE!!!
If we want to change, develop and grow, we can't let fear hold us back.
Once we understand why we believe and behave as we do there are many things we can do that let go of the past and move forward, develop more accurate, positive feelings about ourselves and to develop feelings of being in control and confidence, seeing reality as it is without the negative self-talk! Understanding your own behavior and that of others, acceptance of our own 'faults' and those of others and appreciating the effect of disorganized behavior on others can go a long way to help YOU stand up and deal with the mess right NOW!!!!
NOW IT IS UP TO YOU to foster a strong mental attitude towards your challenge. LET THE ORGANIZING 1-2-3 eBOOK WORK FOR YOU TO RID YOU PERMANENTLY OF THE SHADOW OF BEING DISORGANIZED! Discover A ROOM BY ROOM PLAN AND ACTION STRATEGY TO TAKE CHARGE AND LIVE AN ORGANIZED LIFE!
GET YOUR (TIDY) LIFE BACK! IT’S POSSIBLE! YOU CAN BE ORGANIZED! PUT YOURSELF BACK IN CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE! TODAY! YOU CAN DO IT!!!

Harmonize and Synergize your life, your space and … SIMPLIFY! If your primary goal is to live in a neat, clutter-free environment, think of creating a smart system in which to operate freely, saving you valuable time as result of not having to hunt for lost items.

Stress makes most challenges worse.

Relationship problems and struggles to cope with career demands and just day-by-day functioning as a human being become huge challenges in themselves, because the person loses a balanced perspective on life and focuses only on the condition that has become the problem that their life revolves around.

Part Five "Organizing 1-2-3 FREE Mini-eCourse"
“Overcoming being Dis-organized: Practical advice for De-cluttered spaces and Organized daily living”
Your final Part Five of your five-day "Organizing 1-2-3 FREE Mini-eCourse" is here! We stress yet again at this point that no TWO individuals are the same, neither will face the same circumstances, challenges or have similar obstacles to overcome. If you want to have more time to do the things you enjoy, organizing yourself is KEY! That is why it is so utterly important that you take a hands-on and proactive approach for making a difference in your own life. IT IS UP TO YOU AND IN YOUR HANDS!
To succeed and push through your organizing project you need a strong motivation "beyond” the clutter, a compelling reason, a goal you seriously want to reach. Think about the space you want to organize and ask yourself why do you want to do it. What is your compelling reason? What big picture goal in your life are you going to accomplish because that space is organized? This goal will be your compelling reason and your beacon to work towards completing the whole process.
Why try to remember everything? Help your memory by writing things down immediately when you think of what needs to be done. Prioritize your lists. Plan ahead for the next day and assign priorities to the tasks you need to do according to their importance. Planning can save you enormous amounts of time. It is important to have a motivated and positive “I CAN remember” and “I CAN do it” attitude.
Simplify your space and life! Create a simple organizing system. Zones are key. Organize any space in different zones of activity and group similar or related items or required tools together close to where the activity happens. Create places for things and assign designated places for grouping related items together close to the relevant activity zones. Then your space will work for you and help you maintain order in a natural way. Develop an efficient and very simple model to use in every space you have to organize. Divide the space in activity zones, where everything needed is stored at it’s point of use in cute, functional and efficient containers. All you need is right there!
Very important is the healing of relationships, where everyone works together for the common good to create harmony. This is worth striving for and may need some personal sacrifice, unselfishness and a very mature approach. This will make for good character building for everyone involved.
Awareness of the chaos they create and the dire need to change towards becoming more organized, and lots of encouragement instead of rejection and resentment will go a long way to help a person to grow into an attitude of honestly wanting to better themselves through acquiring and developing those organizing skills, as well as the indispensable self-discipline that is vital for success. The decision to change must come from deep inside the core of the person involved. He or she needs to choose for him or herself and then act upon it. IT IS POSSIBLE!!!
If we want to change, develop and grow, we can't let fear hold us back.
Once we understand why we believe and behave as we do there are many things we can do that let go of the past and move forward, develop more accurate, positive feelings about ourselves and to develop feelings of being in control and confidence, seeing reality as it is without the negative self-talk! Understanding your own behavior and that of others, acceptance of our own 'faults' and those of others and appreciating the effect of disorganized behavior on others can go a long way to help YOU stand up and deal with the mess right NOW!!!!
NOW IT IS UP TO YOU to foster a strong mental attitude towards your challenge. LET THE ORGANIZING 1-2-3 eBOOK WORK FOR YOU TO RID YOU PERMANENTLY OF THE SHADOW OF BEING DISORGANIZED! Discover A ROOM BY ROOM PLAN AND ACTION STRATEGY TO TAKE CHARGE AND LIVE AN ORGANIZED LIFE!

What is an Organizing Coach?
By Ariane Benefit
When I tell people that I'm an organizing coach, I often get a puzzled look. Then I get the questions. What is that? How can you possibly help someone get organized if you aren't in their home? Well, the truth is that coaching can be an extremely effective. And it's less expensive than getting organized with a hands-on organizer.
You can learn a lot from reading organizing books, but it's still not easy to figure out how what you learn actually applies to your life and situation. It's not easy to see yourself, your stuff and your life objectively. Coaching helps you see your life - and your stuff - in a whole new way. With a caring coach to guide you and ask the questions that help you make decisions, you can get the results you seek much faster than when left to chance. Working with an organizing coach helps you understand and prioritize your organizing needs, stay focused, learn new skills, and change the habits that caused disorganization.
What an Organizing Coach Does
An effective organizing coach is someone who helps you:
- Understand what is causing your situation
- Develop a compelling vision of how organizing will change your life
- Create a master plan, chunk out your organizing projects, and decide where to start
- Identify create solutions to your needs, and determine how to get the job done so it doesn't overwhelm you
- Get over procrastination and stay focused on your vision of a better life
- Release the negative self-talk that is holding you back
- Overcome obstacles one by one so you can simplify, organize and energize your life.
Your coach should be someone who is entirely on your side, won't judge you, and provides a fresh perspective to help you let go of mental, emotional and physical clutter. Using a process that is a combination of deep listening, questioning, guiding, sharing, teaching, problem-solving, celebrating & cheerleading, a good coach will help you stay focused on your vision, build confidence in your yourself, develop skills, and stay motivated to take action so you can achieve your vision.
A Good Coach:
- Listens - Deep listening allows you to get to the heart of the matter quickly
- Questions - Asking the right questions helps you honor your inner wisdom
- Shares - Sharing information and skills helps you feel empowered and confident
- Celebrates - Celebrating accomplishments energizes and propels you to move forward!
Why do People Seek Out an Organizing Coach? People seek coaching for a variety of reasons. You may have:
- Changed your life in a big way such as going back to school, changing careers, getting married, having a child, or moving
- An ongoing problem that has escalated to a level of pain you can no longer tolerate
- Experienced an unplanned life transition or event that has shaken up your life and caused chaos
Or you may just want to make your life easier, simpler, and better! Some of my coaching clients include people who have:
- Recently moved and are having difficulty getting unpacked and settled in. The chaos is draining them so badly that they just can't seem to make progress.
- Gotten married and need to merge their stuff but their spouse has a different style.
- Had a child or a second or third that has left them feeling overwhelmed.
- Kids with special needs they want to help organize.
- Paper clutter that was bad has gotten worse. They've different approaches but they just aren't working. They need a SIMPLE solution to conquering paper for once and for all!
- A job they hate or recently lost a job and want to discover their true passion and decide on a meaningful direction for their life.
- Trouble being on time. Their boss has told them that lateness and disorganization is affecting their performance and they won't get a raise or be considered for a promotion.
- A hard time letting go of things and now that they are getting older, the stuff is starting to suffocate them. Their habits of keeping things are so ingrained they get overwhelmed when they try to let go alone.
If your quality of life is going downhill because you have clutter that is distracting you, wasting your time and keeping you from doing the things you love, you need to make room for new and better opportunities. When you are ready to get it together and get organized so you can get what you want out of life, a coach can help you make your goals a reality. Whatever your situation, if you are ready for a change, and willing to take time out to take focused action to make your dreams a reality, coaching may be just what you need.
