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.
