Start 2011 Organized
January is that time for new year resolutions, new ways to improve life, and fresh habit transformations. Did you know getting organized always lands on the top five list of new year’s resolutions?
That is precisely why the National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO) named January Get Organized Month (GO Month). A recent NAPO survey showed 65% of respondents consider their home at least moderately disorganized; while 96% of those respondents felt they would save time by being more organized. Price Waterhouse Cooper estimates that workers spend nearly 50% of their time looking for information because it isn't organized properly. If those are not convincing numbers as to why to get better organized in 2011, I do not know what is!
GO Month is now in its 7th annual celebration and raises awareness about professional organizing services. Working with a professional organizer means you get custom organizing strategies specifically designed for your own challenges and space. The professional organizing industry is growing rapidly, especially as busy professionals and families find it harder to juggle it all.
If you ended 2010 wishing you accomplished more, now’s the time to look at what your roadblocks were. Pinpoint your organizational soft spots, break them down to a simple, bite-size piece, and decide what your plan of action will be. For instance, instead of just wishing your whole house was better organized, pinpoint one room to start, like the kitchen. Ask yourself specifically, what is that kitchen’s organizational weakness? Maybe that one, high-traffic counter top collects daily mail and papers from all the family members. Your course of action might be involving family members with mail sorting or hiring a personal organizer for better kitchen and paper systems. Whatever your organizing challenge may be, look at it closely and plan to overcome it in a specific way. There is nothing wrong with enlisting the help of a professional, who will give you a fresh perspective and custom solution.
This January, think about what you can realistically accomplish with the onset of GO Month. Revisit the systems that serve you every day; and, do some due diligence on how you can improve them. Celebrate GO Month and organize a fresh new 2011. The professional organizers at Little Miss Efficiency wish you a productive and joyous new year!
