3D Character and question mark

Limiting choices helps prevent clutter

October 1, 2025/0 Comments/in Tip of the Month/by Janine Cavanaugh, CPO®

Limit the number of decisions you make each day and the options within each decision. For example, instead of choosing from five different cereals at breakfast, narrow it down to just two. Simplifying your choices saves time, reduces stress, and prevents clutter. Options are good, but too many is overwhelming.

Reset day

May 1, 2024/0 Comments/in Tip of the Month/by Janine Cavanaugh, CPO®

Establish a weekly reset day. A day where you clean up and clear out in order to start fresh for the coming week. My reset day is Sunday. I do several things on this day that help me maintain order.

  • Check calendar and weekly work schedule
  • Plan meals
  • Change sheets
  • Water plants
  • Change bathroom and kitchen towels
  • Do laundry

reaching goals

Goal achievement

January 1, 2023/0 Comments/in Tip of the Month/by Janine Cavanaugh, CPO®

Organizing is just like goal achievement. Practice these 4 principles to reach your 2023 organizing goals.

4 Ds to goal achievement

  1. Desire = what do you want to achieve
  2. Direction = plan how to get there
  3. Dedication = commit to your goal
  4. Discipline = work at it every day

Busy work

February 1, 2021/0 Comments/in Tip of the Month/by Janine Cavanaugh, CPO®

Organizing tipSave busy work until the end of the day. It can be tempting to get the busy work out of the way, but you’ll be more productive if you address top priority items first, while fresh and full of energy. Devote time and energy to completing the most important and urgent items then take care of busy work.
