Inspiration & Motivation: It's a Lifestyle Change

I often liken "getting organized" to fitness training. The similarities are endless.  Everyone has different goals, "body" types, problem areas, motivations, in-take habits.  But ultimately to see results, you have to put one foot in front of the other and exercise and find a healthy-balanced diet in order to not only lose weight but to keep it off.

So what are you in for? Endurance training and lifestyle change or a quick fix only to "gain" your clutter back because of bad habits and high-intake of stuff in your life?

I say make a lifestyle change.  It's slower, it's longer, but it's lasting!

Inspiration & Motivation: Be Yourself

Have you ever been to a lifestyle blog and thought to yourself  "Man! I wish I was more [fill in the blank] that person has it all together." I call it Martha Stewart envy.  But although this person sets a great example of something to achieve (at least in their own blog-sphere) you have to recognize what you like and dislike and what's really attainable and sustainable for YOUR life.  Having alphabetical spices might work for some people, others it might not (nor do they care) for others.  

Figure out the level of organized you are striving for and be your own kind of organized.
