In the hectic schedule of juggling three children, a non-profit organization, a net-work marketing company and my keynote/training business, I realized the importance of achieving “Organized Chaos” Sylvia McClintock shares these nuggets from her book to help us achieve sanity amidst the chaos…
1- Understand your work style – what works and what doesn’t work
2- The three keys to organizing – De-clutter, organize, simplify
3- To Do Lists – only things that can me accomplished today
4- Someday/Wish List – things that can NOT be accomplished in the same day
5- When you are overwhelmed – Do it. Delegate it. Dump it.
6- Perfectionism: Is it attainable?
7- Are you suffering from self-sabotage? – Chronic lateness, living or working in clutter, workaholism, procrastination, perfectionism, always putting other’s needs first
8- To get organized – take a 2 week vacation and spend every minute de-cluttering and organizing
9- Take one Saturday a month and spend every minute de-cluttering and organizing10-(my favorite and the one I know I SHOULD do…) Take 15 minutes a day to de-clutter!
