New year's resolution: I want to get more organized!

Surveys have shown that the goal of getting organized is on lot of people's lists at the beginning of the year. There is always some aspect of our lives that feels out of control, messy or simply a bit unorganized. It could be a room in our home, or something in our life that we are trying to get under control. If you are one of those people, you are obviously not alone :)

Here are some things to keep in mind:

- Keep it simple - start small
- Break the job into lot of  smaller ones, make sure you don't overwhelm yourself
- Try to keep focused - once you get started, you will get more ideas on what "else" you want to organize, maybe write it down to remind yourself of this later, but keep at the task that you started
- Have fun - often while organizing you will find something old that will bring back memories, cherish these moments
- Take breaks and celebrate job well-done - you deserve it - a better-organized-you will be a lot happier
