Last week I had the chance to meet a lady who had some fabulous tips on order. She has written a book called “The Genesis Principle” It is The ABC’s of Throwing Disorganization, Procrastination, and Personal Humiliation Out of Your Life Forever!
A former cluttered mess, for years I struggled with hidden disorder and chaos. The junk lurking behind closet doors, underneath my beds, in drawers, cabinets, and storage rooms robbed me of inner peace. My life was totally out of balance and my priorities were a mess. I was humiliated. I felt as though as my life was impossible. A crisis in my life compelled me to get on my face before God. In the light of His presence, I began to that the external clutter in my home and office was directly related to the internal clutter of my heart. I looked to God’s Word for help and discovered biblical principles of organization. As I implemented these principles, my life dramatically changed. ~Patty Chirico
She has found a pattern in the bible for organization. In Genesis Chapter 1 God uses four principles to organize the entire creation of the heavens and the earth. Patty has discovered these principles and applied them to her own life, as well as others (as a personal organizer) I want to share a few of them with you today.
The most important secret for getting organized and staying organized is to accomplish these steps in order:
1) Separate (Whether you start in your closet or your cabinet you must separate everything into these categories)
