Since I’ve embarked on a mission to get organized and asked you to join me, it feels only right that I reveal a little insider tip.
Hands down, this is the most effective tool I’ve found for tackling any organization project.
I’d love to claim it’s as attractive as colorful totes or woven baskets, and that you could grab it at the Dollar Spot, but that isn’t the case.
In reality, it’s far less thrilling than that.
I mentioned it in my 2 Minute Tip Video right here:
If you prefer to skip the video, I’ll explain exactly what I’m referring to:
A simple, ordinary timer.
It serves as the ultimate motivator.
I set mine for half an hour—though you can pick any duration you prefer—and then focus on one particular project.
I strive to work efficiently ‘against the clock’ and see just how much I can accomplish within that window.
I’m constantly surprised by how swiftly a task (one I’ve been putting off for weeks!) gets finished.
Have you tried the timer method? Or do you have another organization secret to share? I’d love to read your thoughts in the comments, and enjoy the process of getting organized!
