What exactly do you need to do to accomplish this task?Let's practice with this example: a pile of papers. Have your shredder within arm's reach. Anything needed to be shredded goes directly there, not in a pile. Your garbage can is the next necessary item of use. All garbage goes in the garbage. NOW.Arrange the papers by categories. For example, bills, how to manuals for appliances, insurance information, kids school papers, junk mail, etc. Don't touch that junk mail more than once. It's shredder or garbage material.Number one, you now have less paper. Number two you have now begun to see what kind of files or systems you need.Personalize - Building a system that is personalized for you and your individual needs.We all have different 'papers'.

Utilizing simple a method does just that. It remains simple, therefore you are apt to apply the technique.Optimize - your system making it as functional as possible. Denoting, it works for you and your situation. After all, if you didn't use a system before, how could a complicated structure work now? You may make changes as time goes on, that's OK.Finalizing - finally! Do you need a file for insurance policies? Auto, home and life policies can all be in one file. Anything needed for tax purposes, together. Keeping it simple! Everything hinging now on your ability to follow through.Stabilize - your system and utilize it to your fullest advantage. Open the mail at your garbage can and shredder. File, as papers arrive. Remember, you have a effortless system. You identify with it, you designed it!Energized - by your accomplishment? More content and less anxious, as well. Those piles won't be staring you in the face! Your achievement is exhilarating. Be proud!Capitalize - on your new found freedom. Utilize your time on other things in your life. Enjoy! Rejoice! YOU did this!Generalizing - Remember, organizing takes time. You'll have a bigger mess during the process. Take baby steps. Organize one area at a time, by means of the above method.August 2006Kyna has been in the organizing - time management field for 30 years.
