Step 1: Visualization
At the core of getting organized is the DESIRE to feel at peace in your home.
The desire to move more effortlessly through your possessions, so you are able to focus on larger goals and values.
THESE are the reasons that will be compelling enough to create the change. Take the time to truly identify why you want to become more organized. How will you feel? What more will you be able to accomplish in your day? Let the desire for these feelings guide you.
Step 2: Make the Commitment
It is in our decisions, or yet our INABILITY to make a decision that gets us deep into clutter and disorganization.
Make the DECISION and commitment to yourself that you are ready to become organized.
You deserve an environment that inspires your best self. Decide that you are worth it.
Step 3: Set Schedule and Stick To It
We will schedule our first session after the initial consultation, and it is imperative to stick to it.
If organization and maintaining order has been a struggle for you, it is easy to find reasons to avoid the uncomfortable hard work.
It only takes a few hours, over a few days to completely transform your life. Face the clutter now, temporarily, or let it continue to disrupt your happiness and peace over the long term.
Step 4: The 5S Methodology of Organization
I use the 5S organizational method, which originates from five Japanese words; highlighting how to organize for efficiency and effectiveness by identifying and storing the items used, maintaining the area and items, and sustaining the new order for the long term.
1. Seri (Sort)- REMOVAL of unnecessary items
2. Selso (Shine, Sweep)- Cleaning of area to more easily identify what’s out of place
3. Selton (Straighten, Set)- Organize to OPTIMIZE efficiency and flow
4. Seiketsu (Standardize)- Implement labels, designated areas, and systems to create consistency
5. Shitsuke (Sustain)- Develop behaviors that maintain organization over the long term
Step 5: Experience the Peace
Take in your newly organized space, and say goodbye to old feelings of FEAR and LACK.
Your home is now full of only things that you LOVE and that are useful. Nothing more, nothing less.
Feel the ABUNDANCE in the simplicity.
Step 6: Check In
Every week, check in with yourself and how you feel in your home.
Your energy levels and physiology will let you know when it's time to regroup, and reinstate the new behaviors you have to maintain a peaceful home.
An organized, simplified life is a mindset.
Make the daily decision to keep things simple so you have Room For PEACE in your home.
