If you are looking at a large organizing project as if it is a big mountain, you may never get it done.

Break that mountain down into small pieces by moving one small stone at a time.

How to move the stones… 

1) Make a list of what the project pieces are.
2) Include tools you will need to get the project done.
3) Are there people who can help you with one or more pieces of the project? Ask for their commitment and book the time.
4) Work in 2- to 3-hour increments; then take a break to appreciate the progress you’ve made.
5) If you encounter a stone that seems insurmountable, bring in more powerful tools (i.e., your Professional Organizer)
6) Keep working at it  — do not give up!
7) Reward yourself for chipping away at the mountain until it has been completely moved

Now you can see clearly to the other side!
