If you are starting the task of organizing, take baby steps.  The process can be long and exhausting.  One section at a time.  When is the best time of day?  That’s up to you.  I like mornings when I am fresh, alert and the Nevada heat is still at its lowest.

Night owl?  Work on a drawer with a nice glass of wine and music while you sort.  Maybe the kids are tucked in and you can enjoy a couple hours with no interruptions. 

Some have energy after a work-out and may be grubby already, so tackle a couple things in the garage before your shower. 

In any event set a timer and allow yourself only that amount of time.  Start with an hour and build up to a few at a time.  Never let the task take over the entire weekend.  Stop for water, snacks or a meal… maybe order a pizza delivery as a treat and reward.

Wrap it up when the timer goes off and feel good about your accomplishment.
