Creating an organized house is a process that goes through several phases – getting it organized, keeping it organized, and, finally, loving it organized.
GETTING IT ORGANIZED
A person who chronically struggles with clutter needs a straight forward and powerful plan in order to turn that way of life around. Any plan or process that works for you and is consistently followed has a place. If you need help developing that plan, hire someone who understands your needs and can help!
KEEPING IT ORGANIZED
Once the house is basically organized, you need a plan for maintenance. A big idea is to change your habits from leaving things out to putting them back as you use them. This is the famous STOW AS YOU GO™ war cry of Messies Anonymous
LOVING IT ORGANIZED
But there is a final instrument in the organizational orchestra. It is the nudge, the itch, and shall I say
it, the love of this way of life. No rules, tips, or strategies can replace the internal desire to keep the house nice in little ways that will never make
it to a list or plan. Keep going until you reach this stage and you will never go back to clutter again.
