365-day organizer

People often think they need to have HUGE blocks of time to make any progress with organizing. That's not true and is, in fact, one of the biggest organizing myths around.

This is why I always say to start with just 15 minutes a day. If you did that faithfully for one month, not only would it become a habit, it would also give you an extra 7 ½ hours of organizing for the month…that’s almost an entire work day! Just think… if you kept that up all year long you would log over 90 hours of organizing!

"Small results, repeated consistently over time, produce huge results".

So what can you accomplish in just 15 minutes a day? Lots of stuff; here are some ideas to get your started. Let m know some of your ideas too.
