Organzing your Projects in the Office or at Home

“I start projects, but then I get overwhelmed.” – have you ever heard that.  Being a professional organizer I have heard that many times.  Here are some keys ideas:  Slow down.  People want to be organized in 30 minutes or less.  It takes longer, remember how long it took to get it in the shape that it is now.  Steve Webber (The Experts) gives good advice, “Don’t work for more than an hour continuously.  If you think the task is going to take two days, it will probably take four days” – and that is fine – remember it is the results that is important.  Second – Avoid distractions – stay on track.  Third – take shortcuts – sort your items quickly and go on to the next area.  Do small areas at a time.
