Emilie’s Creative Home Organizer

By Emilie Barnes

Yes, I am reading yet another home organization book.  LOL!!!  I thought I would share some of the passages/tips I have highlighted!!

• Simplify and unclutter your life by saying no to good things and saving your yeses for the best things in life. Make Time for Yourself.  Stop go-go-go. Be a person of “being” rather than a person of “doing”.


• Use the salami method to reach your goal:  If the size of your project overwhelms you, tackle it in a piece at a time.   (BABY STEPS)


• Share your goals with people who really care about you and want to help you. (Michelles Self Improvement Group)


• Studies show that the success rate for people who write down their goals is about 90 times greater than for those who don’t.


• Use a notebook to keep track of all errands, things to do or buy, and general notes to yourself about anything that will require action.


• List on paper then goals that you wish to attain by the end of the year and do them. 


• Keep a daily “To Do: list.   Make up a new one each morning and include taks you specifically hope to accomplish – deadlines and appointments, as well as items from you master list.  Give each task priority number – 1, 2, 3.  Do all the 1’s first
