How To Stay Organized

Get it how you want it is how to stay organized.

What I mean by get it how you want it is to be working on your life, your house, your desk, your whatever in enough detail and with enough concentration to get it how you want it.

I have my apartment set up how I want it. When it gets changed around like after I have a visitor it is a simple matter to get it back how I want it.

I have it set up for me most of the time. When I have guests I have it set up how it works for all of us.

Then when they leave it only takes a few minutes for me to get it back how I want it to work for me and the kids.

So, get it how you want it and make how you want it simple to maintain.

If how you want it takes hours of time to get then that's too much.

You don't have things set up simply enough. Simplify your house so after you have guests it doesn't take more than 15 minutes to a half hour to get your house back how you like it for yourself.

Start by eliminating as much clutter as possible and looking critically at your entire living space. See if how you have things set up really makes sense or not. Often it does not.

Think about how you want to entertain guests. Do you want to make elaborate meals and redecorate ever time someone comes over? My thought is no. I do not want the hassle, I just want to enjoy my guests and not make it too big of a deal. I want people to be comfortable in my home because I am comfortable.

What will happen to your life is that when your guests leave and you need to spend hours getting your house back how you want it, you will think twice about having people over.

If the work involved in cleaning up and getting it back how you want it is more painful than the enjoyment of having people over, then you will be reluctant to have people over. And that's a shame.

Life is more than just keeping a neat house. You want a neat house and you want people over.

Do both by making the getting it how you want it and it is the best way known on how to stay organized.
