Slide 3 of 6
Make a list of all the things you want to organize, whether those items are your garage, your office, or your time. When you're done with your list, choose ONE item on it. That is going to be your MAJOR GOAL.

Now, take that major goal, and break it down into smaller, bite-sized pieces. Those will be your MINI-GOALS. One by one, you're now going to achieve each of your mini-goals, until each one is completed. Once the final one is completed, you will have accomplished your major goal. Here's an example:

  • MAJOR GOAL: Organize the bathroom.
  • MINI-GOAL 1: Organize the medicine cabinet.
  • MINI-GOAL 2: Organize the cabinet under the sink.
  • MINI-GOAL 3: Weed out the magazine holder.
  • MINI-GOAL 4: Set up separate toiletry storage areas for each member of the family.
