Watching the latest season of “The Apprentice” has inspired me to this title, as you can probably imagine. And the series is a good example that you can only get anywhere in life if you are pro-active. This also applies when you are aiming to get organised. You will not achieve a lot of progress if you are constantly thinking about getting organised but never actually do anything about it.
The successful candidates in the show were not the ones taking the back seat and the ones trying to stay under the radar. The successful people stood out as taking risks and doing the tasks to the best of their abilities.
Now when it comes to a project like getting organised, you can do many things to bring about success. But the main thing is to get started. Yes, do spend some time making a plan, but then start implementing it, making the first step. A Chinese proverb states: Even the longest journey starts with the first step. And this also applies to the largest of organising projects.
Divide your project into tasks. Break down the tasks into small, manageable bite-size chunks. Think about what needs to be done first and then do it. It will do you and your disorganised surroundings no good if you have the best plan and you don’t implement it.
If you’re not too sure how to go about the whole thing, get some outside help. HIre a Professional Organiser who will put you on the right track and stay with you for as long as you need. They can plan the whole project with you and you decide how much they actually do with you. Once you’re ready to go it alone, they will usually leave you with a host of good advice to increase your confidence and help you on your way.
So why not fire that procrastination today and get started!
