You can even organize your children
As an adult, and as you are trying to become organized, having disruptive kids can be a challenge. These types of behaviors are a form of disorganization in itself, taking time and energy from parents.
For many, organizing your kids to do chores, put things away in proper designated places, be respectful and civil can be a most daunting task. With such frustration, some parents may resort to anger, threats and even name-calling.
Anger might seem to be appropriate at times, but if a parent sinks into a continuing pattern of resentment and negativity toward a child's lack of compliance, it could cause real damage to the child's self-concept and well being. None of us wants that.
Nothing breeds unwillingness and apathy more than being made to feel accused and inadequate. Think of a time when you were made to feel that way. Did it make you want to improve at all? Of course, it did not.
Try this for one month: Develop a personal agenda that includes "your time" for family, friends, health, and your passions.
Get Organized Catalogue
I am not talking about those "most important" things to do.
Remember that if paper management (or whatever area you are trying to improve) was easy for you, you would not be in this bind in the first place. If you are careful you should be able to find just a few hours each day to apply yourself to being better organized. This contributes to lethargy and procrastination. Choose one single area to work on at one time. When you walk into a room, it should look vibrant and comfortable. Use curtain clips to hold the pillowcase in place.
