It’s the start of the New Year and that means setting goals for the year ahead! Getting organized is at the top of many people’s to-do list for 2020, but finding the motivation to just get started can be difficult. Where does one start? How does one start? There are so many aspects involved with getting organized - from your home to your work to your family, organization affects every part of your life. To help you get started, we’ve outline a few resources you can use to help you get organized:
Peter Walsh’s #31Days2GetOrganized Challenge
It’s not too late to follow along with the famous organizer’s 31-day challenge, which focuses on organizing and decluttering a different space in your life each day during the month of January. This challenge has been going on for a couple of years now, and all of his daily videos can be accessed from his YouTube page here. The simple videos are easy to follow along with and can help you get started by focusing on only one task or one room at a time. This way, organizing doesn’t seem so overwhelming, and you can work on tackling each space throughout the month and beyond.
Organize 365 Podcast
Get helpful organization tips on your way to work, while you’re exercising, or whenever you listen to podcasts. Organize 365 explores new topics weekly - everything from decluttering an office space to organizing your weekends. The podcast is available on most streaming services, and a full up-to-date list on all the episodes can be found online here.
Simplify Magazine
