TIP: Pick one small, medium and large project for each season.
I see my clients constantly stressed by focusing on all the clutter and organizing all the time. The idea here is to consciously choose three projects for each season and then let go of all the others. They can wait. You will feel the stress leave your body and your brain.
Small Project. By small I mean a project that can be completed in 2 hours or less. Let’s tackle your purse, wallet or briefcase. Another great one is the junk drawer or office supply drawer in your desk. These are areas we are into every day and it feels great to get them organized.

Medium Project. This project can be done in about four hours on a Saturday morning when your energy is high.
Great medium size project are the kitchen counter or your bedside tables. These are areas we see all the time and the clutter can drive us crazy.
Cool Container – Try getting beautiful baskets with lids so you don’t see all the stuff.
Your Large Project will take a day or a weekend. Choose only one weekend of the 3 months so you can prepare and enjoy this project with your partner and family.
Some great ideas for the winter are the toy room (now that new toys have come in), your clothes closet, or the home office.
Cool Container – Transform your clothes closet by getting hangers that are all the same color!!
