As you may recall, a powerful habit for change is “When you get it out, put it back.” This slogan needs one more additional important word to make it really powerful.
Because it is so important, I will risk repeating myself. “When you get it out, put it back RIGHT AWAY.”
Avoid:
– I’m too busy now
– I’ll get right back to it
– I’ll do it later
– Right there is okay for now
– I’ll do it in a minute.
– I’ll be using it again soon so I’ll leave it out.
Clutter is the result of many little postponed actions. Before you know it, many little I’ll-do-it-later piles make our houses messy and we hardly know how it happened.
Remember, delayed decisions create the clutter in your life. If you slowly adopt this habit you will quickly see a difference in your space.
Happy Organizing! Bridges
