Fall Organizing Giveaway

With kids returning to school, schedules changing, pumpkins appearing, and extracurricular activities in full swing, fall prompts us to begin again. As the leaves change colors, it’s a natural cue to rethink the possibilities for better balance, organization, and joy. What motivates you to change? For the Fall Organizing Giveaway, I’ve put together some great organizing goodies and tips to help you shift your focus towards new thoughts and actions.

Fall Organizing Tips

  • Inspiration: What helps you move into the “possibility thinking” mode? Are you inspired by reading, listening to music, enjoying nature, or writing? Figure out what works for you. Dreaming is essential. Carve out time to develop new ways of thinking or doing.
  • Relaxation: Let’s face it. Life is just busy. Take time to stop doing and allow yourself to just be, even if it’s for 15 minutes. Are you a coffee or tea drinker? Sip slowly. Take in the aroma, the warmth, and the pleasure of slowing down enough to appreciate the moments of calm.
  • Organization: It’s amazing how a little organization can go a long way in reducing daily stress. Start small. Identify one area that needs your attention. Maybe it’s your handbag, utensil drawer, or incoming papers. Sort, release, and set-up a system that makes the area flow better. One small stress removed will yield amazing benefits.
