Most likely if you are reading this blog, you are hoping to get some new idea or suggestions on becoming better organized. My business is about helping people build solid organizing systems around their home and work life. It’s about giving them direction and support on how to lead a more organized lifestyle. There are so many wonderful tips and products out there to get you where you want to be. Organization is a skill and if it doesn’t come natural to you, you have to some how learn this skill. With anything you learn, once you learn it, it can’t be taken away from you.. It’s the power of education!
I recently listened to an education podcast for Professional Organizers and the speaker said something that really stuck with me. So much so I have to write about it… She mentioned how the most important piece of what we do for our clients is teaching them new skills!
It’s not just about getting organized.
Being organized comes and goes.
We all have different events and things that happen to us unexpectedly. Even the most organized people will and can become disorganized. It’s the skills we have learned and practiced that help us get our homes and offices back into order. We have the skills to put it back together. It’s just like ridding a bike, once you learn, you never forget! The same is true for organizing.
There will be times of the month or year, where your office is going to look like a mess. If you are moving or in some kind of transition, there will be things that will slip by. If you are dealing with an unexpected life event, your organization will falter.
I think it’s easy for people to be too hard on themselves. Life happens and our priorities shift. Organization is not about perfection or how clean your home or office is. When you see the organization around you start to break, take a step back, look at the reasons, build off of your organizing skills, and make the changes you need to make at the time you need to make them!
Happy Organizing!
