Question: Why is getting organized consistently on that top 10 list of people’s biggest yearly goals? 
Answer: Because we all recognize that our frustrations, failures, and achievements are always related to being or not being organized. 




Do you join them? The millions of people who write New Years Resolutions. And is there usually something to do with ‘getting organized’ on your list? 




“Getting Organized Is One Of The Top Resolutions Every Year” - PR Web Press Release – Jan ’05 


In fact, think of something that might be on YOUR New Years Resolutions that does not in some way require being better organized.
It’s impossible isn’t it? 
And yet most people never really investigate how to organize things. 
Just take a look at Sue’s list… 
Sue Morem is a writer on problems in the workplace and listed her own personal New Years Resolutions…
I realized that being organized is directly relevant to at least 50% of Sue’s list (circled in red).


eing Organized is a necessary evil. It makes life easier and more enjoyable. But you and I both know it ain’t easy…
Being overwhelmed. 
Not enough time to do everything. 
Piles of clutter. 
More stress. Less fun. Less success. 
Never quite feeling in harmony with things. 
Lost opportunity. 
Filling time with distractions which make us feel worse in the long-run… 


But at least once per year people dig their heels in. 
People know that every increase in success comes from an increase in organization and so they set there New Years Resolutions.
But why does most of that enthusiasm quickly get swallowed up before January’s end each year? 
The reason goes something like this doesn ‘t it?… 
“Sure, being organized would be fantastic. But I’ve tried before and I’m too BUSY to get organized! It’s so damn hard to achieve!”
The reason it’s so hard is because HOW to get organized has always required a lot of time and discipline. Well life is too busy for that. And I was obsessed to find the answer.
ew Years Resolutions are life’s big goals that keep you in touch with what you want throughout the year. 
…We both know that if you don’t get organized, then you will probably have to face writing out a painfully similar list of unachieved ‘resolutions’ that you had at the beginning of 2006, for 2007, 2008, 2009…
If you now consider not Sue’s list, but YOUR list, you full well know that if you do not find a way to get organized in your life, you can never achieve your top 10 or so things that would make you happiest.

“Men who spend time organizing their home office were more likely to spend time playing with their CHILDREN than men whose home office is in disarray.” – IKEA “You Can’t Be Too Organized” survey 


“Men spend an average of 1 hour and 20 minutes per week looking for the REMOTE control.” – IKEA “You Can’t Be Too Organized” survey 


The average American spends almost 4 minutes searching for lost keys, television remote controls, mobile telephones and other elusive household items every time one of the little suckers sprouts legs and walks off – or so says the latest survey conducted exclusively for American Demographics by Rochester, N.Y.-based research firm Harris Interactive. Sure, 4 minutes may not sound like a long time, but the minutes add up. If, for example, a person misplaces his wallet once every week, he would spend 3.5 frustrating hours each year on the hunt
