One of the biggest organizing myths is that you have to have large chunks of time to accomplish anything meaningful.

Not true.

If you wait for two-hour blocks of time, you might wait for a long time.

Lfe is way too busy with work, kids, husband, cooking, gym, etc.

My suggestion is that you start by walking around your house with a notebook and pen.

Identify the areas that bug you the most or that you just really want to see organized. Make a list, room by room.

You now have a choice – either choose a room and work through it section by section (this is my personal preference as it is then DONE!) or choose similar tasks and work through them all in your entire home. For example, organize all the paper in the house – kitchen, entrance hall, bedrooms, etc.

Which approach do you prefer?

Break down the area of most concern into 15-minute segments like this – if you have a chest of drawers with 4 drawers and they’ve not been decluttered or organized for a year, you may need 15 minutes per drawer. That’s 4 little tasks.
