This is the 2nd article in the series Lifestyle Organizing. You will find a complete list of topics with links at the bottom of this article. Today`s focus is on Guidelines; these help you get the most out of the process, Discovering You and Developing Your Organizing Plan. As with most things in life, there are "The Rules", "The Policies", "The Procedures", and "The Directions"-well, these are "The Guidelines". As stated in the introduction, Lifestyle Organizing is a progressive plan of organizing your mind, home, and life around who you are and the way you live or want to live. My goal is to help organize and simplify your life - making it less hurried, less cluttered, and more peaceful.

January, for most people, is the time of year that sparks the fire for change... While it may be called "New Year's Resolutions"; full of hope, anticipation, and excitement that our lives will be forever changed-it is anything but that. Usually, the momentum fades in a month or two. For some, all their dreams and goals will have to wait until the next New Year comes around to try again. Others will wonder why they failed (yet again) and may give it another try by approaching their goals the same way and not seeing real change. What if you changed the way you think about CHANGE in your life? What if you set goals and a plan for life change that you could implement NOT just in January, but all year long and succeed?

Organizational goals are one of the most important things to get you life in order.

Your efforts to achieve organized living cannot be achieved without clutter control. Would you allow a person to continually rob you day after day after day? Why allow the clutter thief unabated access to your home where it can steal more than just your space? Declutter now to stop the clutter thief.
