Organize For A Fresh Start
Organize for a Fresh Start: Embrace Your Next Chapter in Life by Susan Fay West is one of the most useful books which I have read this year.
In this book Susan talks about changes and transitions. How one change can lead to a series of changes which may sometime be too overwhelming for a person.
There is a need to know what one’s objectives and goals are. Everything that is there is for a purpose. If there is no need or use for an item it should be removed or given away.
The four parts of Susan’s book address the need for
- Getting Started
- Reorganizing your surroundings
- Manage your time
- Staying Organized.
I love the fact that Susan has broken down each aspect of change into byte size chunks which are easy to digest. She dishes out a lot of helpful tips to deal with the different changes that you face in life and how to organize yourself for a fresh start.
This year has been a change for me as I am aiming to remove all the mental and physical clutter that has been bogging me down all these years.
It has been hard for me to keep to a schedule and really see through what I have planned to do. Susan makes organizing easy through her step by step focus on the 3 Ps – People, Product and Place.
Through focusing on one at a time it’s easier to make a decision on the things to keep or discard. Our needs and wants constantly change and as we age we have different priorities. Organizing is a ongoing project which I now handle more enthusiastically after being equipped with the proper tools.
