Organizationally Healthy

Photo by Markus Winkler on Unsplash There is no such thing as the perfect time!    Let’s get out of the cycle which keeps us stagnant. There is no perfect time; the time is now! I have always been a planner. I regularly wrote my goals and built them on paper. I, too, went around in circles at one point, helping everyone else fulfill desires but my own. I was stuck waiting for the perfect time when I would have more than enough money. At the most financially pressing time of my life, I built a business and authored a bestseller. Had I waited; I would not be able to bear witness to how just doing it works. Daily I work on Personal Development Plans for those who desire a step-by-step process to achieve their goals. Sometimes, we do not know where to start. Some do not have support, and others lack motivation because we have procrastinated for far too long. The time is ripe right now to make that investment in yourself and build your own. Can you imagine turning you...

Photo by  Dan Azzopardi  on  Unsplash ORGANIZING YOUR LIFE IS A LIFESAVER. Organization means to put in order. When looking at that definition, think about what is out of order in your life right now.  I will give you a moment to jot it down. So how was that? Did you write more down than your shoes?  Guess what, you can organize everything.  Organization is the new currency, and we all need to secure the bag.  When looking at the Earth in Genesis, it took organization to create something formless and void.  The story in Genesis is the best way to describe the state of confusion of the Earth. How much can you start from a chaotic situation? Plenty but you must possess an organized form of mind. I can’t explain how often I hear people say, “I am not an organized person.” This practice has levels. You’re not a seasoned vet, but you are more aware than you realize. Preparing clothes the night before is a degree of organization. A key holder...

Maybe you have been without or knows someone who does not have transportation. Some choose the public transportation route, while others call upon family or friends to get somewhere. This article is for you if you choose the latter course. I have personally been used to transport individuals; some were respectful of my time while others made it hard for me to help them a second time. If you are someone who needs a ride, consider these organizational tools. It is unfair to assume anyone has an entire day to devote to your errands. Most of the time, time off is time dedicated to other things, so if a person is carving out time for you, it is important to honor them.  If you are the person providing the transportation, make everything clear before committing. Establishing boundaries will prevent the headaches I encountered.   Here’s what you do when you need a ride:   1. Call in advance asking for availability. Please do not assume the person has no...

Many of us transitioned to telecommuters due to the COVID 19 pandemic.  For some, the transition was not easy because living spaces were not conducive to being a workplace on such short notice; now, I am sure you have gotten into a system. For a person who is not as organized, that transition could have been a disaster. We have children, spouses, no space, and no plan. I am sure some have gotten into the swing of things while others still may struggle. In one way or another, we were all affected, and the stress levels have increased. Without an organizational plan in place, it only grows worse. Companies did not allow employees to develop a strategy; employees were just thrown into the deep expectation that they swim. There is no plan in place for them. While they were grateful to be home with their families more, there were a set of challenges that came with working and homeschooling. Once everything began to open up a little, some of us opted to remain home with our childre...

I speak about emotional setbacks often on my podcast and in other blog articles. One in particular that we do not acknowledge as an emotional setback is a breakup.  Changing our hair, dressing sexier, and going out with the girls is not what you do to process this situation. Those actions say you think it was about your appearance, not the traumas of the other persons.  Well, I have experienced several that ended with the same narrative. It wasn’t until I analyzed the situation more profound, I learned that what I was attracting I saw during childhood, lack of self-worth, and the thought I wired in after every failed relationship, “I am not good enough.” I knew some genetic healing had to take place.  But this blog is not about that. This blog is about decluttering after a failed relationship that will promote healing organizationally.  Failed relationships are setbacks that we can overcome; I am proof. I always began with organization when I experienced this. I...

Looking at the title, I am sure you are wondering, what? How is procrastination organized? If we look at each word and define them, we will understand how. Organization is defined as arranged systematically. In contrast, procrastination is an active process. Do you see that? Those two words are system and process, which is why you can organizationally procrastinate. You have built a thought system in your mind that has become an automatic response where there is work to do. You have implemented this into your consciousness via a strategic process. However, if you shift that energy and practice it in a better way, 10 minutes per day, you will see that you are no longer falling into the organized procrastination trap.  Now that I have explained that let’s jump into why procrastination and laziness are not the same. I have heard individuals say this as if they are, but they are far different. As alluded to above, procrastination is an ACTIVE process in which you choose to do somet...

   Yesterday I intentionally decluttered my Facebook page. I left more than 50 groups.  It was the most liberating feeling EVER. I honestly felt lighter every time I selected the "Leave Group" button. Some groups served me no purpose at this point in my life, and it was time to leave. Remaining in those groups was only taking up the space I needed for where I am in life.  In my opinion, the best part of decluttering is the room it makes for the new.  Before I started a business, my focus was on other things; now that I am in business, my interests shifted.  I am only interested in what will make me a better businesswoman; I am interested in continuing education courses. I am interested in learning from those who have gone before me. So yes, my tastes have changed; therefore, so did my social media accounts. I hope you caught that nugget and make it applicable to more than just social media groups, hello somebody!!!!!   You may need to leave ...

Welcome to my blog, Organizationally Healthy        My name is LaToya Nicole, and I am a Life, Therapeutic Writing, and Organizational Coach and Therapon, Belief Therapist. I am the CEO of SOLO Coaching & Consulting www.solocoaching.net . My intention for this blog is to take organizing to another level. The organization's process is more than closets and cabinets, but there is much more to it. Soul organization goes overlooked because we do not realize it is a thing.  As an expert in my field, I have identified the direct link between physical and mental clutter.  Decluttering your space leads to more mental clarity. When we fail to process emotions, trapped energy accumulates, creating chaos. Where there is chaos decluttering and organization is the healing agent needed.  I will post here and on my IG page Organizationally Healthy   tips and tools on maintaining organization.
