How can I 'feel' organized?
The most important thing in all of this is for people to feel organized. It's one thing to be organized. You know a person can actually be organized, but not feel like they are. So the key is for people to feel like they're organized. This will feel like their life is more manageable, like they have a functional system, and that's operating in their home. And there's a lot of ways that we can help people to get to that place. A lot of times, it's just from having them look at things, with a different set of eyes. Look at something and have it feel like it's fresh and clean, and new. And a lot of times that's what people want. They want to feel like it's a new beginning. So, for example, if you're organizing a room and this room has been a room that's just been giving you such a hard time. You've just hated it so much for awhile, because it's just been such a mess. So you take everything out and you're going through your process of assessing and purging and deciding how you're going to put it all back together. But look at the room itself. Paint the room. Maybe you've always wanted to have a room that's a certain color. Paint it a different color, other than white. Give it a whole new look. Because this is a new beginning for you and for that room. And nothing will make you feel organized more than doing that, and having, creating this space that's so different from the space that existed before. You know, it really is about starting over, you know, having a fresh, new beginning.
