Pretty organizing containers are not enough

February 14, 2022 by respaced

Pretty containers and cool systems alone won’t keep you organized. You need two other pieces: Behavior and Motivation.
 
Behavior: making time each day or every other day to put things back into their new system. 
 
Motivation: Remembering WHY you are making time each day to put things away. What are you moving TOWARDS? And what are you moving AWAY from?
 
You need all 3 pieces:
 
Organizing systems
Organizing behavior
Organizing motivation
 
…in order to get — and stay — organized. When we see clients backslide into disorganization after we have worked with them, we typically find that the behavior and/or motivation piece is missing. Those are the hardest pieces of organization to implement! They involve making new routines and developing new habits. But they are so essential, and when all 3 pieces are in place, you will finally feel calm and in control of your home.
