See the guy on the right? That's me. That's my organizational skills level. I'm VERY spatial. (Guess that makes me "spacey"? Yeah, bad pun, but it also explains why I write "spacey" romances, har har!)
Anyway, I'm needing to get my desk and office more organized. Wishful thinking. I started cleaning out hubby's and my closets this summer, sending bags and bags of stuff we can no longer wear but wish we could to Goodwill. It's still on-going, but instead of diving head-first and spending a whole day or weekend doing it, I'm doing it a bit at a time. I use the credo 5. I take 5 items out of the closet. That's 5 items I'm donating, and putting the article of clothing (or shoes or belt, etc.) back into the closet doesn't count.
For my office, I'm going by the credo 1. Take 1 item and take care of it, whether it's filing, throwing away, or packing it away. 1 per day. It takes all of maybe 3 minutes. Like the closet, which takes me all of maybe 5 minutes.
It's a lot like my writing. Once I get 1000 words down that I can live with, my goal for the day has been met, and the rest is gravy.

You'd be surprised where a baby step a day will take you.
