When working with a new client, one of the first questions I ask is "What's your goal for this space?" It helps both myself and my client to get a clearer picture of what we want to accomplish together and what their vision is for the space when we're done. Knowing your goal means you can make defined steps to get there and make regular progress. If you don't know your goal, then you're just throwing spaghetti at the wall and hoping something sticks.
So take some time to determine your goal for the space you want to organize. Really think about what feelings you want to feel (or not feel) when in the room and what problems you have now that you'd like to solve. Next, ask yourself, "what can I do today to get a step closer to my goal?"
Take one small step. Don't try to solve the problem all at once. Don't put off working towards the goal until you have hours of time to do the whole project at once. Don't overwhelm yourself thinking about how much needs to get done in order to get to your goal. Just take one step and enjoy the fact that you're one step closer to your goal than you were yesterday.
