Time Management
You have great space and equipment, impeccable systems, and you still find yourself falling behind. What's going wrong? I often hear complaints from clients with lovely home offices that their bills are always behind. "What day of the week do you pay bills?" I ask. "Oh, I don't have a regular time. I just get to it when I can" is the usual response. These clients won't get organized until they make the time in their lives to take care of this sort of task.

Change
Let's be realistic. You can't become a sleek organization machine overnight. Change only a few things at a time. If you take things slowly, you'll be much more likely to retain your good habits.

Inspiration
"An inexhaustible good nature is one of the most precious gifts of heaven, spreading itself like oil over the troubled sea of thought, and keeping the mind smooth and equable in the roughest weather." --Washington Irving

"Fall seven times, stand up eight." --Japanese Proverb

If you're serious about getting organized, I recommend that you find a paper or electronic time management system that works for you and can go wherever you go. My clients seem to like either small, inexpensive calendars in binders, or handheld personal electronic organizers. Start scheduling the important things in your life. 

Scheduling shouldn't be a rigid method of cramming as many activities as possible into your time. Rather, it should be a fluid, flexible way of consciously choosing where and when to make space in your life for everything that is important to you: your work, health, partner, children, friends, spirituality, relaxation, talents and interests. Use time management as a way to spread out and minimize the negative impact of the boring nitty gritty of life like paying bills and doing laundry.
