7. Organizing Your Life

8. Organization Assessment
If you answered “false” to three or more of the questions above, you need to pay
close attention to the following AVID lesson on organizing your life.

9. Myths About Organization
Myth: Organizing is the same as being neat.
Fact: Organizing is not about how a space looks, but how it functions

10. Myths About Organization
Myth: Organizing is a talent you’re either born with or not.
Fact: Organizing is a learnable skill.

11. Myths About Organization
Myth: Organizing is about throwing things away.
Fact: You can keep everything you want and still get organized.

12. Symptoms of a Disorganized Person
You never put things back in the same place twice
You have new things that you do not have a place for
You have too many things to do and not enough time

13. The Cost of Disorganization
If you plan on storing items, for a basic 10 foot by 20 foot storage unit you'll pay approximately $60 a month. This doesn't seem like much, but it works out to $720 a year, and if you rent a space at this rate for 3 years, you'll spend a grand total of $2,160. Most people don't think about the total cost of long-term storage, and when they really stop to consider what they've spent after renting a storage unit, they realize they could have purchased new items with the money wasted on storing the old ones.

14. The #1 Rule of Organization
“A place for everything and everything in its place.”

15. The #2 Rule of Organization
“Out of sight, out of mind.”
I don’t have to worry anymore about all of that junk in my closet. It is now at the Salvation Army
I can’t remember where I put that sweater. I guess I’ll just have to buy a new one.

Disorganized

16. The #3 Rule of Organization
“Travel light”

23. Hang Hangers Backwards
Hang hangers backwards after sorting, then hang clothes up normally to see which clothes you actually wear.
Then after 6 months or a year, you can see which clothes you have not worn. Get rid of those clothes.

24. Dealing with Dirty Clothes
Place 2-3 laundry baskets in your closet.
Sort as you remove your clothing.
Do laundry one basket at a time as they fill up.

28. Still Not Enough Space?

29. What if I might need it later?
If you really can't throw things out, put the items in a box with a destroy date written onto it—generally about six months from now. If you find yourself needing to go into it to find something, put it with the items to keep. Anything left in the box at the end of the time should be thrown out or donated.

30. File Purchase hanging files. Label folders to match your piles.
Bonus Tip: Transfer your notes from your AVID binder into file folders after each test.
