The first step in the simplify 101 organizing process is to clarify your goals. This is a really important step and one that may defy your natural instinct when you get the bug to get organized and create change. (For those of you who’ve ever had a baby and have “nested” … you know what I mean: the urge hits and instinctively you want to jump into action.)
Taking a few minutes (or days) to sit back and really get clear about why you’re making change, what you want to accomplish, and how it will look, feel and function when you’re done is a critical part of the success of any project – organizing or otherwise.
