Organizing Mistakes to Avoid, Part 2
Another organizing mistake to avoid – don’t move too fast! I’ve seen A LOT of people fall off the organizing wagon because they simply went too fast or too slow. Move through your projects at your natural pace and in the best work style for you. If you set out at a frantic pace and wildly start tossing and purging, you may quickly give up when you realize you are, in fact, on a long-term journey. On the other hand, if you just pick at the problem infrequently, you may find that your motivation and momentum disappear.
If you are in the beginning stages of your organizing journey, I challenge you to set a goal for your projects to help keep yourself on track. Make sure and be realistic and give yourself enough time, but not too much time! A steady, intentional pace coupled with a well thought-out plan will help you achieve lasting results!
