Browse Organizing and Learning How to Organize

We live in a world where bigger is better and more is all the rage. When we are trying to get the life we want, it often involves adding something new: a new routine to lose weight, exercising more, taking a class or starting a new activity. Also, we are always looking for more time–most of us want to spend more time with our friends and family. Lately, we have heard many promises that if you just put out the intent, then it will all happen for you. In our business we have found that this simply is not true for most of our clients.

Do you love to read? Of course you do otherwise you wouldn’t be here. My love for the books has been with me from past 7 years and there also came a time when I used to finish an entire book in a day. But time flew and I got busy with my life that now I rarely get time to read and when I do, that moment is just enduring. My genre had always been fiction, romance and poetry. I have a huge collection of those which I used to store safe in my cupboard. Last Sunday I took out s

Have you ever noticed how everyone's home smells different? I believe that your home scent is a comfort to you, and one of your basic instincts that let’s you know that you are safe and where you belong. When you move into a new place, you really won't feel comfortable until you rid your home ...

If you're like most people, you probably have far more clutter than you'd like. You probably have stacks of paper and items that you don't really need but can't bear to part with stashed in various places throughout your home. In many cases, a digital solution can really help get these messes under control. If you have access to a scanner, a home computer and a stack of CDs or DVDs, you're well on your way to a neater and more organized life. Dealing with Paper Clutter

I am noticing a pattern or theme that keeps coming up for many of my clients lately. They express their strong desire for change (whether it be to grow their business or improve or change something in their life or career), but that they don't "have the time" to devote to the change process. They are basically treating change like a one night stand! They will get excited about it, maybe take it out for a drink and even take it home for the night, but then in the morning, poof! They lose interest, turn their attention elsewhere, and lose change’s number.

Ready to implement a new filing system? While choosing your system is an important first step, most of us get stuck when it comes time to actually do the work. So here are some ideas about how to get started:

This story comes to us from one of our readers. She wanted to share her “sticking point” – the moment she realized that her attempts at organizing were actually hurting her more than helping. “Everyone has one, you just may not know it yet. I discovered my sticking point the other day while organizing my filing system. I had finally sat down to tackle the sea of papers that had overtaken my desk and had started sorting papers into piles and labeling folders and recycling lots of unnecessary papers that I still had ( I did not realize that most of them were still around!).

Joint ventures have been around for hundreds of years. They are not the invention of internet marketers. A joint venture occurs when two or more parties, businesses or individuals come together for the purposes of creating a project or another business. The parties combine resources to create something else. They create the joint venture to protect their current interests. They protect their individual resources by forming and limiting their liability. They create something new that can be a saleable option or should it fail, it will not drag down other businesses that they own,

Shoes are one of the greatest challenges when it comes to closet organization. Since we all need several pairs for different activities, it can be easy for shoes to accumulate and become a cluttered mess on the closet floor. Between workout shoes, formal shoes, casual shoes and shoes for different seasons, it is easy to run out of storage space quickly. No one wants to crouch over their closet floor every morning, rummaging through mismatched shoes. But having enough closet space for all of your shoes is a rare luxury.

Web development has come a long way since its inception, it is rather hard to remember the time when technology and internet were first started to be used commercially and website development started to surface. As a witness of this upheaval, here we are listing some of the major changes that web development services have undergone over all this time. Google.com Not a long time ago there was a time when people didn’t even have an idea what google is. Yes! exactly can you im

When it comes to organization, getting started is half the battle. If you're procrastinating on an organizing project, the key to pushing past the procrastination is to find out what motivates you. If you know your motivators before a wave of procrastination hits, then you'll be prepared to deal with it - head on - as soon as it arrives. So ask yourself, "What makes me want to get things done? To get organized?" In Part 1, we discussed free time, money, and positive energy as catalysts for getting you up and moving.

We run out of time, have to change the day and times of various appointments or call ahead and tell people we are going to be late and this happens more often than we would like. Besides that, it is embarrassing to have other people know that we cannot be depended on to make the appointment at the designated time and now we have messed up their schedules as well. Try these three steps to take control of your schedule once and for all: 1. Don't Overbook By overbooking yourself, it doesn't give you time to get your thoughts totally together for the next meeting or appointment.

Greek mythology is fascinating and the story of Pandora’s box is a spell binding myth. Prometheus was a Titan who was a champion of human-kind and was known for his wily intelligence. He stole the secret of fire from the God Zeus and gave it to mortals. But the theft of fire angered Zeus and as one of his punishments he ordered Hephaestus to create the first woman, Pandora, as part of the punishment of mankind. (Now that doesn’t seem quite fair that he considered this a punishment does it?)

Pare down. Go through the things in your child's room and help them let go of things they have outgrown or no longer use. It can be overwhelming to find a pair of shorts from a drawer stuffed so full that it can barely close. Give things a home. Go through your child's toys and determine which ...

TIP #1 - GET YOUR WORKSPACE ORGANIZED:Clear your desk and other horizontal surfaces of all unnecessary gadgets and items that you don't use everyday. Keep frequently used items within arms' reach. Create space and breathing room so you can be more productive. Clean up your bulletin board. Throw away all the old Post-it note reminders you have scattered around. Use a vertical step rack or desktop file for "action" or important files. Arrange your furniture and equipment so you have easy access to the things you need.

Sometimes, it’s the simplest of things that can have the biggest impact on our lives. I know in my own life, in this fast-paced world we live in, it seems like there is never a time when something isn’t disorganized and out of place. Our homes, our cars, our offices, even our computers – they all have stacks, piles, bags and bits sitting around and cluttering things up with stuff that doesn’t belong.

Happy New Year! Each year brings the possibility of change. Even though we can make changes at any point in the year, each January we start out the year with a list of good intentions. Yet, 30 days later, most of our well-laid plans for change have been set aside. We try to make too many big changes in a short amount of time. We get a good start, life interrupts, and we throw up our hands: “I give up! I just can’t __________!” This year instead of taking on a huge self-improvement program, develop just one of the following habits to become more organized:

Firstly online shopping websites and apps took over the market. Since the internet took over our lives and we had been able to download stuff, we have all dreamt of downloading food.

"When you have cleared all of your clutter, you can be of greater service to those around you. " Michael B. Kitson What a great thought! Isn't that what being an entrepreneur, a self-employed woman is about? We long to share ourselves with the world in a way that makes a positive difference. We long to be of service.

Choosing a perfect technology stack for your startup might seem like a real challenge, especially when you are a no

Are you drowning under piles of photographs and wondering how to dig yourself out? My January 2011 newsletter described how to organize photos – the physical prints that may occupy any number of bags and boxes in your home. But maybe it’s your computer rather than you that’s drowning – you may take digital photographs and have a hard drive bursting with them. This month I’ve called upon my husband, John, who is the technical guru of our home, to describe the best ways to organize digital photos (yes, there is a better way than just dumping them into random folders on your computer).

You're dashing out the door, your kid's lunch box in one hand, laptop case in the other with a coffee mug balancing on top. You make it to your son's school three minutes before class and breathe a sigh of relief… You just might make it to work on time. As you pull out of the school parking lot, the alarm rings in your brain. "Oh no! I forgot to bring the disk with my PowerPoint presentation for today's meeting!" You want to turn around, but it's too late. nnAfter you stumb

If you’ve ever moved a house full of furniture, accessories and personal belongings, you know how expensive it can be.

Moving in the grown up world is more complicated and expensive, but here are a few unusual ideas you can use to save money. Boxes

You’re sure to find a perfectly organized home when you open up any magazine. And those pictures make you think: Man, I wish my house looked like that! Of course, the ideal home doesn’t have to be in a book, in a magazine, or on TV. You may need to look no further than your next door neighbor or your own family to find the poster child for neat freak-i-ness. And that person makes you think: Man, I wish my house looked like theirs!

Digital photography is great and very popular nowadays, but what in the world do you do with all of your year’s worth of accumulated unorganized printed photos still sitting in boxes and/or scattered around your home screaming for your attention?

As solopreneurs our passion arises from either the services we offer or the products we make or sell. This is where our creative force is most engaged. As CEOs of our own destiny, it’s easy to skip the drudgery of everyday chores and necessary paperwork when our passion is calling us to a different action. Yet chores and paperwork left undone will eventually hamper our creativity, client relationships, and business growth. A system of organization can simplify the job at hand

I’ve written previously about the benefits of keeping a to-do list. The process of writing down everything you have to do (either on paper or electronically), prioritizing the list, and scheduling when to do each task can be an efficient and powerful way to get things done. That is, of course, if you honor your commitments and do things when you’ve scheduled them.

I recently was on my way to a client when she called to say she had a last-minute emergency and needed to push our start time back an hour. Since it wasn’t feasible for me to go back home, I parked near her house and spent the next hour making phone calls, writing a few thank you notes, and reading. I was grateful that by having planned my day the day before, I had with me not only a list of phone calls to make and notes to write, but also the materials to get those tasks accomplished. I also had a couple of magazines with me to read.

These seven common mistakes keep small business owners from living their dreams fully. They keep them buried in every day work and far out of touch from their big dreams. Or just as bad lofted in their big dreams while their day to day business fall apart at their feet. You want to be a great business owner or executive, but you are becoming discouraged. If you spend your time on day-to-day business needs do you have to give up on the BIG passions that got you started? And h

"Email is a system that delivers other people’s priorities to your attention. It’s up to you to decide when that priority should be managed into your world. It’s not the other way around.” ~ Chris Brogan There was a time when I would sit down in the morning to open my email and I would cringe a little, afraid to look at all the new messages piling into my Inbox already crammed full of messages I hadn’t yet had the time, or courage, to get to.

Get up; go to work; shop; cook; clean, spend time with your family, go to sleep; wake up again the next day and do it all over again.

Is it really worth the time (and sometimes money) to get organized? I get asked that question a lot, both out loud and through body language. After all, some argue, I’ve gotten along this long. What’s the big deal? On the other hand, others confess: • I spent an hour looking for _______ this morning (and didn’t find it). • I can’t seem to get anything done lately. I don’t know where to begin. • I keep buying more _____ when I know I have it here somewhere. • I feel guilty when I take time to organize. Shouldn’t I be doing something productive?

The recent series of disasters in Japan, as well as unrest in many parts of the world, should have us all thinking a little bit more about whether or not we’re prepared for an unexpected disaster.

While there’s been lots of information in the press recently about how to prepare for physical survival in a disaster, you may not have given much thought to your recordkeeping and paperwork.

In today's busy and fast-paced world, it can be sometimes be difficult to stay organized. Demanding work schedules, busy social calendars and family responsibilities can often take up every free moment of a person's time.
