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

15 Minutes a Day - Clutter Remedy

Cindy — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 15:29:04 +0000

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.

Chaotic Brain? Want to Change?

Cindy — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 17:00:09 +0000

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. BEING ORGANIZED is a lifestyle— my clients are stunned by the progress made in just a few hours—there is a sense of hope and relief that’s physically visible.

Four Easy Steps for ‘How To’ Organize Your File Folders on Your Computer

Cindy — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 21:30:50 +0000

1. Step 1
Use the Windows-created “My Documents” folder as the “root,” or base level, folder for your documents.

2. Step 2
Create folders within the My Documents folder for the various categories of documents you work on, for example: Clients, Family, Photographs, and so on.

3. Step 3
Create sub-folders within the category folders, going as many levels deep as you need. For example, under Clients, you might want to have a sub-folder for each individual client; in the Photographs folder, you might have a folder each of your children or friends, with subfolders for each child, friend, and/or year.

4. Step 4
When you save documents, make sure to change the save location so they are filed in the appropriate folder.
