Organizing Pitfalls to Avoid

Helene Segura of Living Order San Antonio is a wonderful resource of best practices when organizing the chaos and clutter in your life. Here is a twist on that, which I found most appealing: what to avoid when trying to get all those ducks in a row:

10) Not having a plan

 9) Not being realistic

 8) Being afraid to try something new

 7) Having an "all or nothing" mentality

 6) Not celebrating progress

 5) Holding onto the past

 4) Seeking perfection

 3) Making excuses instead of time

 2) Going it alone

 1) Not making decisions
