30 Days to a More Organized Life, Day 30: Give Yourself Permission to Start Over

The advice for the last day in the 30 Days to a More Organized Life series is the most important: you must give yourself permission to start over.

Living a more organized life is a worthwhile goal. But, like any worthwhile goal, it is not easy to achieve. Becoming a more organized person is like becoming a healthier person. You can’t exercise and change your diet for 30 days and expect to be healthy for the rest of your life. Being more organized is the process of a lifetime.

You will fail, repeatedly, at becoming a more organized person when you first start out AND THAT’S OK.

The important thing is this: keep re-evaluating your life. Step aside from daily busyness at times and ask yourself what works in your organization life and what doesn’t. For the things that are not working, how can you fix them? For the things that are working, how can you make them even better?

If you get discouraged, don’t worry. Remind yourself that you’re only human, take a deep breath, and start over at day one.
