Summary
Where do I START organizing? That's the number one question I get asked as a professional organizer.
And while that is a loaded question with multiple "right" answers, I have decided to start all of my clients with a simple system I call The Sunday Basket.
It's not magic, and you don't have to use a basket... any bag or box will do.
You see, organization is a way of living and "being organized" is a way of thinking.
The Sunday Basket is a system for processing mail, kitchen counter "to do" papers, and ongoing household projects.
The weekly routine of collecting, processing and maintaining household to dos and papers is the perfect training ground for all your future home organization skills.
And, like it or not, the mail just keeps on coming... giving us plenty of practice to hone and refine our organizing skills.
I have complied all the best videos, podcasts, and posts from all over my website into one organized page to help you get your Sunday Basket started in 4 easy steps.
