Don’t let PILE CRISIS SYNDROME© run you life.
Many of my newer clients have what I call ‘PILE CRISIS SYNDROME ©.’ It’s not pretty or necessary. Here are a few things you can do TODAY to stop this insanity:
- Use a letter opener

- Invest in a shredder
- Spend a few minutes each day OPENING AND LOOKING at your mail
- THROW OUT envelopes unless they contain time sensitive and/or legal documents (don’t stuff papers back into the envelope)
- Shred and recycle what you don’t want immediately - make sure to shred or ‘black out’ address information
- Flatten papers
- Get a step file
-
Start file folders with the following headers
- Immediate Action

- To File
- To Do
- To Read
- Taxes
- Projects
- Credit card / Applications

If you give yourself 15 minutes to follow this de-cluttering plan, you’ll soon see and feel a big difference. Just remember, the aim is progress, not perfection. If you envision your life clutter-free, it will become a reality. Close your eyes and relax. Think about your space and how you’d like it to look: colors, textures, scents, style. Envision an abundant and simplified life, then set aside time for the following:
1) Five minutes to open mail. Scan and decide to either
a) take action
b) file it or
c) shred and recycle
If you don’t have files, make them now. Don’t put papers back into envelopes.
2) Five minutes to organize your clothes. Hang, fold, ‘hamperize’ and put them away.
3) Five minutes for clutter maintenance: It doesn’t matter how big the piles of clutter are, just take on one paper at a time off the top of the pile and deal with what you can for five minutes. Just start somewhere. The fact that you’re doing this will evoke confidence and satisfaction.
Organizing generates life balance. Balance generates open-mindedness. Open-mindedness creates space in our heads and hearts. Space makes room for new ideas and experiences to enter our lives. Getting and staying organized is what this organizer wishes for you.

Staying on track is an ONGOING, DAILY EFFORT.The only way to GET ORGANIZED is to SYSTEMIZE. The only way to STAY ORGANIZED is to MAINTAIN those systems. It’s a passion to encourage and support my clients through the tedious, laborious, and scary process of CHANGE. No one wants to look at the mess and debris that has accumulated.
