Being Organized is a Journey

When I first meet a new client, they frequently talk about “getting organized”.  Often, clients are looking for that perfect organized state that will never need any further work..

“What do I need to do to get organized?” they may ask. They look for that perfect tool or piece of furniture or perhaps the perfect filing system for their office. There is one organized way to set up a wardrobe or closet and if they could just figure out what it is, they would never again be disorganized.

My experience demonstrates that in fact, getting organized is a journey.  It’s not the perfect closet set up from the magazine or the perfectly labelled jars from a social media platform.  Labelled jars and beautiful closets might be a stage of the journey. 

Your Clutterfree Journey Changes

There is a natural ebb and flow of things throughout our life . Objects come into our life, they spend some time with us and us with them. Their role in our life is complete at some point. Objects naturally move on to another life with another individual because we no longer need them.

For some that Journey is one that twists and turns with many hills, valley, mountains and bridges.  The Journey is harder at some times in our lives than others because of the nature of objects. For example, some mothers have alot of trouble parting with their babies clothes or toys. Some individuals have more difficulty avoiding accumulation than others. Some individuals have more trouble parting with objects.  Even those living a minimlaist lifestyle have a Journey with twists and turns.  Sometimes the journey take alot of concentration and othertimes, hardly any attention at all.
