A cloud of mist rises from the floor as you creep underneath the canopy. Suddenly your sleeve catches upon a sharp edge causing the slightest of vibrations. You cringe, knowing that this could be your last moment before everything comes crashing down around you. Your heart pounds as you wait with bated breath, hoping that nothing is disturbed. This may sound like the beginning of a thrilling novel, but rather, it is your den/craft room/garage, the mist is actually dust, and the canopy is all the items that have somehow stacked higher than your head. It is time, you realize, to organize!

Organizing can seem like such dull work, but it has rewards. Unfortunately, some of these rewards carry with them a means of distraction, a pitfall to the task at hand. They can come in the form of forgotten memories, long-lost toys, or even pieces of a figurative puzzle. If you want to finish the task, it is best to identify some of these pitfalls to stay focused. That way, when the organization is finished, you cannot only relish in the satisfaction of completing the task, but you also have a reward for yourself.

So you have a space that needs to be organized. What are your first thoughts about it? The effort? The energy? The time? Most of us contemplate the project itself but not the rewards along the way, aside from having our space back again. These rewards can come in many shapes and sizes, from finding things again to turning the process into a game. You have your space back again, and new opportunities can be opened back up to you.
