Syllabus for The FUNdamentals of Getting Organized
My name is Aby Garvey. I’m the founder and co-owner of simplify 101. I have been a professional organizer since 2004 and have been teaching online organizing classes at simplify 101 since 2007. By answering thousands of class participants and organizing clients’ questions, I have developed a unique understanding of the obstacles people face when organizing their own homes. I know what can prevent you from getting started as well as what can stall your progress midstream.
This class distills the techniques I have found work best to motivate people to move past their obstacles and organize their homes, finally enjoying the freedom from living an organized life. Simply stated, this class is based on my years of professional experience in helping thousands of customers get organized. Here’s a peek inside each lesson:
Lesson 1: Getting Started on Your Organizing Journey
This lesson lays the foundation for the class by introducing you to the idea that organizing is a journey. You’ll find out how to make progress on your organizing projects in small steps, so you can get organized even if you’re short on time or are currently feeling overwhelmed. I’ll show you how to pinpoint what is currently working well in your home and the improvements you want to make so that you can prioritize your projects and budget. You’ll also put together an organizing toolkit, which will make your organizing projects easy to start and finish.
Lesson 2: Clearing the Path to Destination Organization
If you’re currently feeling overwhelmed by the clutter in your home or you’ve made past attempts to get organized but ran into roadblocks that stopped you in your tracks, this lesson is all about clearing your path to destination organization. You’ll learn—and put into action—a great grab-and-dash decluttering process. This process is designed to create quick results, so you move from feeling overwhelmed and stuck to motivated and inspired. As you declutter and complete an insightful questionnaire, you’ll become aware of your personal organizing roadblocks, those obstacles that have slowed or even prevented your organizing progress in the past. Using the ideas and strategies presented in the lesson, you’ll use a fun worksheet to put together your personalized detour plan.
Lesson 3: Select Your Destination + Map Out Your Journey
In Lesson 3, you continue decluttering and preparing for your organizing journey. You’ll explore what being organized means to you—how it looks, how it feels, and most of all, how you’ll spend your time when you arrive at destination organization. You’ll also gain clarity about how you want your home to look, feel, and function. This step will help you stay motivated on the organizing journey, even if you’ve gotten stuck in the past.
Lesson 4: Let’s Hit the Road — Taking Your First Day Trip to Destination Organization
This lesson walks you through a small organizing project, such as a small cabinet, junk drawer, nightstand, bookcase, or small closet. You’ll see firsthand how simple, fast, and fun it is to organize a space, boosting your confidence and motivation. You’ll also find out five simple questions you can ask while organizing so you can organize and declutter items you don’t use, need or love without feeling guilty. By paring down your belongings, you’ll create space and peace of mind.
Lesson 5: On the Road Again — How to Navigate Larger Organizing Projects
With the experience and confidence of a small project under your (seat) belt, in Lesson 5, you’ll be ready to organize a larger space. Find out how to break a bigger organizing project into a series of smaller, manageable projects—making all of your projects less overwhelming and more doable. You’ll also discover how to maximize your available storage space using containers and other storage solutions. If you live in a home with limited storage space, you won’t want to miss these ideas.
Lesson 6: Staying Motivated on Your Organizing Journey
In the final lesson, you’ll continue making progress on your organizing projects. You’ll also get 13 doable techniques to maintain motivation on your organizing journey. If you’ve burned out or lost your way in the past, these ideas are designed to keep you on track this time. If you do lose momentum along the way, no worries. You’ll get back into action quickly with the ideas presented in this lesson.
