Tip #2: Unobstruct Your Excuses

Here are my top 3 excuses for just about anything and everything on Earth:
1) it will take too much time
2) it's not the right time
3) Oooo! A new People magazine just came!

When it came to working on my attic, I knew I had to throw my excuses out the window and get busy. It was either that or throw the contents my attic out the window -- and have you seen the prices of renting a Dumpster lately?

What's your excuse?

Tip #1: Unobstruct Your Time to Deal with the Clutter

So, the big project that hung over MY head (literally) was my attic. I had finally found my dream home outside of Boston -- and the good news was I would be sharing it with the love of my life Chris. The bad news? One house -- two households of stuff! And that stuff settled in - and stayed up there, unsorted, unloved, and unhappy, for two loooooooooong years. How on earth could a professional organizer (moi!) let this happen?

I have to admit, it was the fear of YOU all finding out about my hidden secret that motivated me to get busy. Here's what I did so that you couldn't bust me:

1) picked two dates that worked for me and Chris
2) actually wrote those dates in my calendar (don't skip this step!)
3) got rid of "time suckers" - like phone calls, email, dog duty, etc.

HOMEWORK: Pick a date and a room. Need an accountability partner? Email me at julianntov@gmail.com and let me know your plans.
