Where to Begin

The bottom line is that sometimes it is just plain overwhelming to stop and consider the organization that is involved when tackling a new project. It can completely engulf you, overpower your deepest visions and leave you no better off than before this new project had even entered your mind. Sound like a trip down your alleyway of thinking?

If you answered “yes” to the above question, feel free to join the club at any time. Having wonderful intentions, seeing your vision in front of you and then actually taking the steps to see your goals come to fruition are two completely different ballgames. Are you with me? On one hand you can close your eyes, delve into your organizing folder of tricks and pull out a platter of ideas, suggestions and create a mental picture of exactly what the end product should look like. However, on the other hand getting to that place of serenity and neatness can feel like it is a whole other world away.

Can you guess what’s coming up next? You are correct, a plan, a way to go about getting from A to B, a set of directions that not only promotes the growth and realization of ideas, but also provides the tools that encourage its birth and execution. Why not put these suggestions to good use today:

~Choose one duty at a time as to not become devastated by your desires. Focus.
~Schedule in a specific time(s) during your week to begin your new project. Get it on the books.
~Consider attacking your vision in 15-30 minute increments as to not crush your aspirations in one swift scoop. Break up your organizational job into increments of time that work for you.
~Make a list of events that need to take place in your chosen area. Look around at your construction site; note everything that you would like to accomplish. Get it documented
~Take the time to contemplate your list. Do you need any special tools? Do you need an extra pair of helping hands? Do you need to shop for supplies? Think ahead and save time in the end by preparing and providing yourself with the items you need to get the job done before hand.
~Don’t be afraid to ask for help and delegate. Four hands are faster than two.
~Check off each task as you complete it for a feeling of accomplishment and pride. Being aware of a job well done breeds success and success is a key component to self esteem.

So you want become more organized do you? You can be and all it takes is some proper planning, the willingness to downsize, small increments of time and an attitude filled with patience and success.
