The truth is, if your work area is a cluttered mess, more than likely, so is your mind! It’s spring and we’ve all heard of spring cleaning so let’s get to it.
First of all, determine how serious you need to be. Do you have a complete disaster area? Do you have just a few things to remove or are you a neatnick and only have to straighten a little. Of course there are those out there that did not even read this post because they so don’t need it!
Things you need to think through before you begin-
Now lets determine which category you’re in…..Are you a “disaster”? A fewby? A neatnick? Where are you in this whole situation?
Disaster Folks- If you’re in this category, you simply must completely take out everything from the area and start fresh and new. You may even need help, especially if organization is a difficult thing for you. There is no shame in asking a gifted person in this area to help you. They may even be happy to do it. Most neatnics would be happy to help.
Just a Little Straightening Needed- Maybe you’re in this category. Spend a little bit of time looking through some magazines and get some ideas for regrouping what you have. This may inspire you to toss, rework, reduce or restack some things.
Neatnick- If you’re already neat, you just need to straighten, tighten and maybe rework. You just need to take the time, so just take it. You’ll be glad you did.
