OK, so September is shockingly here, or as most of us refer to it as, transition. Apart from not knowing how we are suppose to dress or what kind of shoes to wear, (I’m already missing my flip flops) what does it really mean? Generally, it means we are morphing into a new season and each of us have our own way to adjust to the change. For some of us, it might mean nothing more than merely throwing on a light jacket or a familiar sweatshirt. But for some others, it could be a wake-up call to start organizing the stuff we put off all summer. The season is changing and perhaps, so should we.
The change in season is a natural motivator for evaluating what changes you might want to make in your daily life; what’s working for you and what is not.
Here’s just a couple ways to inspire: How about putting away, (or throw away) the summer clothing you know you won’t need or wear until next summer? Take the time to store the tanning lotions or throw away the ones that barely have anything left in the tube. Don’t just shove everything in a drawer. Use a Ziploc and label so you can find them when you are looking for them next year, or for your next vacation. Be ready, be smart.
Now is a great time to take a quick tour of your closet and evaluate what you wear and what you never will. Take an inventory of your stuff. That Fall sweater you saved from last year might look a little more ratty than you remembered. Organize your closet by categories, so that you can see what you are missing. Then, you can go shopping to add to your wardrobe without duplicating something you already have . Ditto to the shoes and boots. If they can be salvaged, bring them to the shoe repair now, and not wait for the day you want and need to wear them, and then freak out. Organizing also means preparedness for next season.
So, transition should not mean procrastinate until the snow day. Make it an opportunity to take stock of yourself and your things. It should mean get going, get with the change, proceed forward, and MOVE THE MESS now!
