Step 8: Maintenance

Congratulations! You made it to the final step. This is what makes or breaks any good organizing session. It must have maintenance, just like a garden. Once you set up a system, you have to test is, make small shifts and schedule time to put it back in order after a particularly crazy week. Being organized is not about perfection, it is a practice, and the more you put into it, the easier your life becomes. You will be surprised by the joy you feel in knowing exactly where something is when you are looking for it and that is the motivation to keep you in check.

 
 

Regardless of whether you have started to work on your clutter or not, congratulate yourself.  You have taken a big step by signing up and looking for ways to improve your situation.  You can't unlearn the awareness you now have.
