Draw your line 1/3 from the left Wrote your heading First AND last name Date Class Period Essential Question: Same as on the board
Myths About Organization Myth: Organizing is the same as being neat. Fact: Organizing is not about how a space looks, but how it functions
Myths About Organization Myth: Organizing is a talent, you re either born with it or you re not. Fact: Organizing is a learnable skill.
Myths About Organization Myth: Organizing is about throwing things away. Fact: You can keep everything you want and still get organized.
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
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.
The #1 Rule of Organization A place for everything and everything in its place.
The #2 Rule of Organization Out of sight, out of mind. I can t remember where I put that sweater. I guess I ll just have to buy a new one. I don t have to worry anymore about all of that junk in my closet. It is now at Goodwill Organized Disorganized
The #3 Rule of Organization Travel light
The #4 Rule of Organization If you don t use it, lose it!
The #5 Something In Something Out If you bring something new into a full space, something must go. Something In Something Out
Step 1: Quick Sort Pull everything out of the space. Sort everything into 4 piles. If you haven t worn or used it in a year, it goes in the TRASH or DONATE pile. KEEP MOVE TRASH DONATE
Step #2: Remove 2 Piles From Your Room Remove the trash Bag up the items you wish to donate. Get them out of the room. TRASH DONATE
