I just read this post on Sandra Felton’s daily post, “The Organizer Lady” and I wanted to pass this along for those that struggle with delayed decisions (piles of stuff) to think about.
One of the differences between people whose houses look good consistently (usually without really working at
it much) and those who do not, is the length of time between the time the mess is made and the cleanup.
Each time we let a mess just sit there until we get around to it, we give clutter permission to happen. If we do enough
of that, the house is one big series of messes. Then these messes turn into a project later on down the road!
The answer is to quit saying we will get back to it later because “Neatness Delayed is Neatness Denied.”
This is the main reason my phone rings is because all if these delayed decisions create huge projects that are overwhelming for my clients. Think about this the next time you say to yourself “I will just do that later!”
Happy Organizing! Bridges
