Is the Organizing Fairy coming to Your House?

Excuses don’t get the work done but the Organizing Fairy can right?

(You can’t see a fairy’s face you know….they won’t come to visit if you see their face….don’t you know anything?  Duh? lol)

I know..I know…we all wish we had one (I do too some days….although I would much rather have a cooking & cleaning fairy). But unless we do have an organizing fairy…guess what? The job still needs to get done.  Unless you always want to be living in a messy zone.  So even though we can have a zillion excuses….we still need to find a way to get the job done.

I know…that is the yucky part right?  So the question now is..how?

The first Step is schedule the time to do it. Get out that calendar.

I know it would be wonderful if we could add 4 hours to each day in order to get more done….but unfortunately life doesn’t work that way.

Block out a couple hours in your schedule a few times a week.  If there is a way you can devote several hours to get started…that would be wonderful, but if not – do what you can.

Maybe turn off the reality show (DVR it!) and use that time if you work during the day.
It might have to be after the kids are in bed if you can’t get anything accomplished while they are up.
It might be that you need to bring in a babysitter for a few hours or have in in-law watch them.

It is all about priorities. If this is a priority to get done in your life, then you need to put it on as a priority in order to get it done.

Excuses…Excuses…Excuses

We all have excuses as to why we can’t organize right?

Sure we do… anything to justify why our place is a mess.  Sound familiar?

I’m not saying some of your reasons are ligitimate…. I know there are always reasons why we can’t do things we would like to.  I’m right there with ya!  No…really!  I have been crazy busy with my blogs.  Do you think my house is perfect?  Think again… it is not.

But…like any excuses – they will only keep us from achieving our goal…if we keep believing them.

Here….let’s go over a few really good ones for why your house isn’t organized. Which is your favorite?

1) My life is just too busy to organize

2) My house isn’t big enough!

3) My husband or kids make all the mess

4) I can’t get rid of it…I AM going to use it….one day

5) I am going to lose all the weight this year so I can fit into those

6) It was a gift…I can’t get rid of it

7) It was too expensive just to get rid of.

8) It will be worth something ….someday

9) I don’t think it’s so bad – everyone just says that

10) There is just too much…I can’t do it!

Which one sounds most like your excuse?
