This year is about to end and just like other people, you want to make yourself better for the next year. If you want to be more organized for the coming year then you should start making organizing resolutions that will stick. The start of another year is also the best time for renewing or making a dedication to get all things in order.

However, promising to be organized can be overwhelming and unattainable just like the other forms of resolutions for the New Year. This time, you should set aside your guilt and fear of disappointment and start to think of organizing resolutions that will stick. Consider the following steps:

Concentrate on Your Reason First

What encourages you to learn how to be a good organizer? Every person who aims for this may come up with various reasons. For instance, it could be because you are spending too much time every day in searching for all stuff, or you spend more money because you pay penalties for your overdue utility bills.

Regardless of the reasons you have, just keep them in mind starting today and in the coming days, weeks and months. Making a sticky note is a good idea. You can stick this note on the door of your refrigerator, on your desk or wherever you can see them every day.

Make Realistic Resolutions

Complex resolutions seem to be encouraging in the first glance but sticking to them could be very difficult. However, quick resolutions will just lead you to failure and embarrassment. This time, you have to choose resolutions that are attainable and realistic. (SMART Goals)

For instance, instead of swearing to revamp the organization of your home, start with a specific room or section of it like the kitchen or the hall closet. After that, you can break your objective into small portions such as how to get rid of the unnecessary stuff you have and organizing those which you have to keep so that you can easily find them whenever you need them. You have to do some easy maintenance tasks each week. This way, you can keep up your progress.

When you attained one of your resolutions successfully and you are willing to make others then you are doing good. If you don’t, just remind yourself about your goals then recommit to your promise.

Aim for the Change that Will Last Longer

Lastly, keep in your mind that it is better to go for changes that will last longer than those which may happen instantly but may last only for a short while. Be aware that slow and steady development will lead you to long lasting changes. At first, you may not be happy with this but your patience will pay off in the long run.

So now, start planning how to prepare yourself for a change in organization. Remember what you have learned here keep your goal in mind.
