Do you want to change? Are you tired of the disorganization that has claimed your energy, time and even money?
If you've tried all the tips and bought all the products and your home, office and life in general is still a mess, try reading and putting into practice Vicki Norris' Restoring Order: Organizing Strategies to Reclaim Your Life.
We've become a society that accumulate possessions, and we haven't had any guidance to dig out of our disorganization. Norris provides a detailed outline of how we sabotage ourselves (because we expect immediate results) and also a clear strategy to reclaim peace and organization by establishing our priorities and investing in a personalized plan.
Norris describes five basic ways people become disorganized; through:
1. situations,
2. habits,
3. family history,
4. social behavior and
5. chronic issues.
These five categories, if addressed can help the disorganized find their own remedies for their disorganization. The first step is intervention (getting help), followed by rehabilitation (the process of transformation) and maintenance (choices that protect your investment in organizing).
Organizing and staying organized is painful--and there are no shortcuts. But identifying that there is a problem and being disciplined in following your personal plan will result in success.
Armchair Interviews says: Freedom from stress and an increase in productivity is just around the corner if you commit to success. We recommend giving Norris' strategies a try.
