There are some things in life that you need to ease your way into...
Such as...Family History, Kids scrapbooks K-12, and even exercise.
If you start any of these too fast and try to get the end results you are dreaming of...you are ultimately disappointed by early burnout!
We DO NOT want to experience this with our new Organization Club, so let's start with a 15-minute plan and a $5 solution!
Do you have a basket or a box on the floor of your coat closet where the hats, gloves and scarves reside?
Is it easy to find the perfect match in 10 seconds or less?
If not, this may be your answer.
It requires an extra aisle check at Walmart, about $5 and 15 minutes.
Let's go!
You purchase an over-the-door pocket holder, bring it home, open it, and stash pairs of gloves, hats and scarves inside its' convenient pockets.
You can go into more detail like, have each child's things in a certain row, youngest child at the bottom.
You can have two...One for hats and scarves...One for dozens of pairs of gloves and maybe some warm sledding socks.
If you are in a warm location and don't have the fun opportunity of needing winter wear...you can store baseball hats, batting gloves, baby shoes, and quick needed kitchen supplies. (Such as scissors, tape, rulers, pencil cases, boxes of crayons etc.)
THERE YOU HAVE IT...YOUR FIRST SUCCESS STORY TO SHARE WITH ANYONE WHO WILL LISTEN.
I have to tell you, I promise you, that once you have tackled what you think is the insignificant problem of the, "Where are my gloves?" question...you will have a breath of confidence as you open that closet and view this solution.
Now just do it! Take the time...and enjoy that first feeling of success.
WHAT NEXT? Who has something, big or small, that we can tackle and share with the group? Walk around the house, look in a closet or under a bed, maybe even in the garage or car. FIND something for us to work on next!
