Here are three important tips to see success in your New Year’s resolutions. First, consider starting your resolution on a different day. This takes the stress off starting. Secondly, consider modifying what your resolution is or how it is done. This is especially important if you’ve failed at this resolution in the past. Finally, consider including helping others into your resolutions. This allows a more holistic purpose for the change.
Key Takeaways:
- You may have resolved to get organized in the past, perhaps using books as guidance, and not achieved the results you wanted. If you tried doing it all alone, maybe it would help to include someone else to cheer you on, provide advice, etc.
- The Apartment Therapy website runs a free group project called January Cure with “one-manageable-step-at-a-time assignments” which are “designed to help you create a cleaner, more organized and peaceful home.” You can sign up now for the emails.
- Uncluttering can lead to donations of still-good items to local charities (social services agencies, charity-run thrift stores, or even neighbors in need via freecycle or Nextdoor).
“If finances allow, you can hire a professional organizer to work with you in your home, either to jump-start your organizing efforts or to work with you until you’ve accomplished your goals.”
