| November 2004 Getting Organized - Kim Cosentino Chore Chart More information about The De-Clutter Box Kim did a wonderful job in teaching us how to get better organized! Here's a Daily Morning Routine - Get moving! 1. Are you dressed from makeup to shoes and eaten something? 2. Have you checked your calendar for appointments and moved one manageable "to do" over to today? (Remember to schedule things that need to be done this week on a day, NOT on the "to do" list.) 3. Have you filed, not piled your paperwork and weeded your active paperwork box into their designated category file or acted on paperwork that takes 5 minutes or less? Remember we only want to handle paper twice, at most. Once when received (and get rid of the envelope and commercial breaks) and once when we act on it and then pitch or file for reference purposes. 4. Have you de-cluttered for 15 minutes, by going thru the house with a laundry basket, collecting items out of place, and putting them where they belong? Do this either before going to bed last night or this morning, the areas that tend to clutter up daily. (Remember every shelf/drawer in your home should have a specific theme. You want to keep similar items together, like everyday wrapping paper, bows and gift cards, and store them close to where you generally use them/it.) 5. Have you moved the laundry process along? Another load in the washer, dryer, delivered or put away. Dishes too?!! ****A habit takes 21 days so give this plan 21 days, stay focused on today and what you need to accomplish. Keep your calendar close by to write down future "to do's", appointments and the like. Keep your "I can attitude", a glass of water near by and realize that with each baby step, you are getting closer to be ORGANIZED for life. |
