  3. Get Organized in 2019

The beginning of a new year is a great time for a fresh start. What can you do to make 2019 a bit more organized? Here are a few tips to start the year off right:

 

Set Goals
Take time to write down goals for the year both professionally and personally.  Chart a plan and map out steps. When you write down goals, you are ten times more likely to achieve them!

Reduce
Don’t be afraid to let things go. Donate what you can and take the tax deduction. If you’re not going to use it, get it into the hands of someone who will. The effort of trying to sell it or save it for someone is not always worth the clutter liability.

Create a Routine
We are creatures of habit–good, bad or otherwise. Create routines for getting things done more efficiently this year. Set up a schedule with regular times to work on projects. Make use of digital calendars, notifications and list-making apps.

Be a Finisher
A favorite quote that works with kids and anyone else who is easily distracted: “Finish one job before you start another.” Wise words to live by if you want your space to stay organized. Finish each task down to the details.

Digitize
As we rely more on technology, we need less paper. Scan what you can. It can be as simple as taking a photo with your phone. A quality scanner can be a wise investment. It can even help eliminate the need for files.

Call for Help
The organizing experts of Chaos To Order are always here to help. Whether it’s clearing a closet, managing a move or optimizing office space, we are your solution to all things organized.
