It has been said that a picture is worth 1,000 words. When it comes to getting organized, having that image in your mind before you lift a finger can greatly enhance your motivation and results.

1. Dream. Do you want a clutter-free organized home or office? Do you want to have a stress-free schedule? The very first thing to do is dream a little. Close your eyes and imagine how wonderful your life is going to be when...

* your home is totally organized, and void of any clutter

* you can find everything you need, when you need it

* you don't have to climb over boxes to retrieve something

* everything doesn't fall out of the closet when opened

* you can get everything done that you planned

* you have plenty of time to do the things you enjoy

2. Start with the end in mind. Rather then first formulating the steps it's going to take to complete the project at hand, draw a mental picture of what you would like the end result to be. Perhaps you'll envision an effective, organized filing system. Maybe you'll picture, a stress-free, non-chaotic day when you'll be able to finish working before 5:00PM. Picture the end result in your mind. Then, determine what needs to be done to achieve that result.

3. Take a snapshot of your current situation. You'll be able to feel a huge sense of accomplishment if you always remember where you were before you started getting organized. If you're trying to organize your kitchen or your home office, take some photographs of your current situation. Post them somewhere visible, so after each new accomplishment, you'll see how far you've come. If you're trying to organize your time, get a piece of paper and write down everything that you're trying to adjust. For instance, jot down such items as:

* running around in a chaotic fashion

* missing deadlines

* always running behind schedule, etc. etc.

This list acts as your snapshot of where you are in relation to using your time.

4. Take a snapshot of your accomplishments. Just as you should take a snapshot of where you started out, the same goes for the completed task or project at hand. Keep the before and after photos side by side, in a notebook, for immediate and future motivation!

All people have clutter to some degree. You may have a little. You may have a ton. MOST people are somewhere right in the middle.

For anyone who has clutter, have no doubt in your mind that CLUTTER GROWS. Small clutter challenges soon turn into large clutter issues.

Plus, clutter is sneaky...it doesn't only show up in the pile of shoes you may have in your closet, the overload of toys in the toy room, the boxes of stuff in the basement, or the stuffed-to-the-max drawers and closets in your home. Clutter can actually invade your life in FOUR forms...

1. Physical Clutter
2. Paper Clutter
3. Digital Clutter
4. Emotional Clutter

Once clutter is here, it begins to wreak all sorts of havoc...

There is only one way to get rid of clutter...and that is by using a proven- effective clutter-removing system. Only then will you be able to face clutter head-on and have the clutter-free life you deserve.
