Strive For 5 A Day!

Part of what makes getting organized challenging is not our intentions but the time committment involved. Sometimes we need to break the large jobs into smaller more manageable tasks. My advice is to "Strive For 5 A Day". Basically, start with just 5 minutes a day and conquer small tasks. For example, start with a small drawer or shelf. Five minutes is perfect for tackling the sock drawer or kitchen utensil drawer.

"Strive For 5 A Day" can also mean getting rid of five items no longer needed. These could be as simple as leftovers in the fridge, old catalogs, or outdated makeup. Once you've formed a habit, gradually increase the number of items daily.
