How to Choose Your First Organizing Project

Video Transcript

As an organizing expert, these are the 3 ways that I suggest of how to choose which project to start with. Number 1, do the smallest project. If you need to feel like you're winning and you are checking something off right away, do the smallest one first. Even if it's a drawer, just get it done, check it off. 2, if you have the fortitude to do it, tackle the biggest one because if you can do that one, then you can do all of them.

And 3, and lastly, tackle the one that is driving you nuts, the one that you just can't stand anymore. Based on your personality and what feels right, those are the three things to ask yourself of which project to start with first. Happy organizing, everybody. Follow Christina's Corner for more tips and tricks of how to get organized.
