Posted by Amy on Nov 23, 2011 in Blog | 0 comments

During several recent client appointments, we’ve been faced with the task of organizing cords and cables. If you are doing a large organizing project, you most likely will not take the time to figure out what each cord/cable goes to at that time. I recommend to clients that they create a bin for all electronic cords, cables and random small computer/electronic equipment.

When working with clients, I often refer to Stephen Covey’s Big Rocks illustration. I think it is a wonderful illustration of both time management and life priorities. When looking at a mountain of disorganization, sometimes you need to break down the mountain to the foundation and evaluate priorities first. Once you have decided what is most important to you, it is easier to make quick decisions about the stuff that’s not as important.
