Goal Setting: The Missing Piece to Finally Getting Organized
How to Finally Get Organized and Follow Through on Your Goals
If you’ve ever said, “I just need to get organized” but didn’t know where to start—or started and couldn’t stick with it—you’re not alone.
The truth is, getting organized isn’t just about bins, labels, or making a list.
It’s about having a clear plan, realistic goals, and the right support to follow through.
Here’s how to actually make it happen—and how a Goal Setting Session can help you do it.
Get Clear on What You Really Want
Before organizing anything, you need clarity. Ask yourself:
What’s bothering me the most right now?
What changes would support me and my team?
What areas of my home, office or life feel overwhelming?
What would “organized” actually look like for me/us?
In a Goal Setting Session, I help you cut through the noise and focus on what truly matters so you’re not trying to fix everything all at once. If you feel like this is the help you need, reach out!

Break Big Goals Into Manageable Steps
Define priorities and values
Visualize what you want your space to look like. How you want it to feel.
Write down all the projects you think need to happen.
Break down the larger projects into manageable action steps.
Create a list of resources you will need. Examples: Bins, shelving, calendar, carpenter, cabinet maker, cleaner, professional organizer.

Create a Plan That Fits Your Real Life
Schedule tasks into your calendar. Remember to put aside time for set-up and clean-up. Over estimating the time you think it will take for a project/task may give you extra time for unexpected issues.
Work when your energy levels are up. Support this by maintaining nutrition and hydration. See this blog for more info: https://www.youcanorganizeyourlife.com/blog/organizingforahealthynewyear
Ask for help! Enlist family members, co-workers and experts when needed.

Stay Motivated by Seeing Progress
Progress, even small, will help you to gain motivation. When you complete small steps and see visible changes, your space will start to feel less overwhelming.
Rushing can lead to decisions you may regret later. Remember, Rome wasn’t built in a day. Always choose progress over perfection. Organizational projects take time. Breaking down your goals into manageable action steps will help you to stay motivated to complete the project.
