Going from Calamity to Clarity
Even if you are the messiest, most unorganized person you know, there is always a way to find clarity in any calamity. If you feel your organization has gone to the wayside and is out of control, here are a few tips to get it back.
First, take a breather and a step back (we all work better when we’re calm). The first step to organizational clarity is recognizing and accepting that there is a problem. What caused your disorganization in the first place? Were you too busy with work, thought it would take too much time, or is someone or something else distracting you? After identifying what barriers are in your way, we’re on to step 2.
Imagine what will happen if you don’t make a change now. Will your house become a pigsty, your appointment book become constantly overbooked, or will you end up living or working in a dirty and unhealthy environment? Is this motivation enough to jump start your new organization goals? Now, what will happen if you develop a system to organize and manage your time? For most of us better organization will bring about healthier living and relationships with friends, family, and colleagues.
So, how do we get there? How you decide to bring clarity to your life and organization is different for everyone. Will you employ the use of a website or software program? Maybe you will talk to a professional organizer? Do you have a friend of colleague who’s organizing or time management skills you admire? Maybe you just need to take a few moments to think before committing to an appointment so be sure you’re not double-booking?
Whatever way you decide to go from calamity to clarity, take action right away and track your results so you can celebrate when you have finally found the clarity you were looking for.
