Getting your home organized: stay focused on each task to get things done

Wouldn’t it be nice to find what you are looking for when you actually need it? Lets face it, many of us let things pile up until everything is totally out of hand then end up stressed out over it. The key to having organization to your madness is to focus on one thing at a time and complete it before moving on. Don’t try to be a busy bee and do it all at once unless you are able to split your body into three people!

If you are vaccuming the house vaccum the house, don’t stop in the middle and go wash a few dishes then dust . Finish the task at hand before moving on. Give what you are doing 100% of your time and energy. By focusing on completing the task at hand you free up your mind from worrying about everything at once and you’ll see that you are putting yourself in a happy state of mind.

Take your time and have pride in what you are doing. Tell yourself that this is the task at hand, I am not going to worry about all the other stuff that needs to be done, right now this is what I am doing and will not interupt the process to start another process. By doing this you will find yourself calmer and more relaxed. If I am doing the laundry and the dishes are dirty I refuse to think about the dishes, instead I think about how nice the fabric softner makes my clothes smell and actually enjoy the process all the way froom loading the washer to putting the crease in my favorite jeans.Just focus your attention and you might be suprised at the difference it can make in your life. If you are totally focused on what you are doing then you are not worried about other thing.

Once you are through you have something to be proud of…a job well done and up to your personal standards whereas if you hope around doing ten minutes of this and ten minutes of that, at the end of the day you have nothing to show for all your effort but a little done on a few things here and there but nothing actually that you no longer have to deal with until the next time. I realize this is a generalazation but you can apply it to any task at hand that you want done in your life.
