"Organizing"
Our children are probably the biggest clutter creators we have in our homes — even more so than the dreaded paper flow. It starts out innocently, when we find out we are expecting; then the purchasing frenzy swings into high gear and does not let up until, well, let’s just say many years down the [...]
• Are you embarrassed when you walk into your home or office?
• Do you frequently run out of space?
• Is your desk piled high with UPO’s (unidentified piled objects)?
• Are you frustrated by the amount of time you spend looking for things?
Feeling overwhelmed at the thought of organizing your home? Start on a smaller scale instead and it will be a whole lot easier.
Each area of your home has a symbolic meaning with which you resonate on a subconscious level. Clutter and untidiness within each of these areas causes constriction and inertia in the corresponding aspects of your life.
Nature loves clutter. Just think of all the stuff that drops from trees, washes in on the tide, or is blown by the wind into your backyard. Birds molt, animals shed, snakes slither out of their skin, and they all just leave it lying there to rot into the earth. Follow any two-year-old around for [...]
For some reason, Americans think they have something to prove by doing it all themselves. People say to me all of the time, that someone else just can’t do for them, the things that are on the “to do “ list. Well, that is not only a ridiculous statement, but one that can be proven [...]
In one of my favorite books, First Things First, written by Stephen Covey with Roger and Rebecca Merrill, is a story of the man in front of his class with a pile of rocks and a jar. He puts the rocks in the jar, and then asks the class “Is it full?” “Yes,” they answer [...]

What do you do with those special items that have been passed down to you? Put them in the hall closet and hope the door will shut? Probably not a good choice for several reasons. First, you are unnecessarily creating clutter; second, if the item is very old and unstable, you will further the aging [...]
It may seem far-fetched, but by organizing your desk, your bedroom, your kitchen, and all of the spaces where you spend time, you could be adding years to your life. In essence, stress can shorten your life. A hormone called cortisol is released into your body as a reaction to external stress. There are normal [...]
Take a look around you right now. Look away from the computer screen and scan around you – the surface of your desk or table, now scan farther to look at the rest of the room. Close your eyes and imagine the rooms you can’t see from here; particularly the space where you most often [...]
Staying organized can be a constant battle. The following organizing tips should help you in various areas of your home, even if you are “organizationally challenged”:
We are bombarded with so many factors that perpetuate disorganization. Computers, fax machines, cellular phones, and on-line services enable us to do more – and require us to do more. The speed of the microchip doubles every 18 months, with no end in sight. There is also a greater sense of urgency due to rising [...]
In part 1, we discussed a system you could use to organize your office. In this article we will discuss what material is needed to implement that system.
After more than 20 years as an entrepreneur and a consultant to entrepreneurs, I am convinced that for many entrepreneurs, “organized” is an enigma. “Organized entrepreneur” may even be an oxymoron, because the very strength that makes great entrepreneurs makes for poor organizing – at least organizing as most of the world defines it.
I have a good friend whom (also being in the same business) I often compare notes with.
Are you plagued by clutter in your personal or professional life? Is there someone in your family or your work who is? Based on my experience, the answer is probably “Yes!”
Clutter is postponed decisions®. Here are some suggestions to simplify the task of controlling clutter:
Parenting is always a challenge, but particularly so if your work requires that you travel. Don’t be too hard on yourself or on them when you find it difficult. Here are some tips you may find helpful:
One of my mother-in-law’s many oft-quoted and wise declarations was “Finish in style.” It has been on my mind lately, as I contemplate the end of another year, and the end of the first fifty years of my life. Based on my heritage, I fully expect to live another fifty years, so it seems appropriate [...]
To want in one’s heart to do a thing for its own sake; to enjoy doing it; to concentrate all one’s energies upon it—that’s not only the surest guarantee of success. It is also being true to oneself. Amelia Earhart
