Let me present here an extract from the book Organize Your Life

Where to Start Organizing Your Life?
When we are faced with a huge task or project, we tend to visualize thousands of fragmented pieces in front of us, as we try to see the whole big picture.
This can be overwhelming but it doesn't need to be.
Getting started is easier than you think.
Our mind sometimes likes to scare us about all manner of things, if we let it. The trick is learning not to listen to the critical internal voice. Believe me, unhelpful thoughts are extremely draining.
To those of you saying to yourself "What voice? There's not such thing.", I say "That one!!"
Instead, focus your energy on breaking down the task at hand and taking the first step, then the second and the third … and so on.
An Organizational Metaphor for You
You know you have a mountain to climb & that it is a challenging task. How you look at it and how you approach it will determine your progress and ultimate success.
Naturally, we all want to visualize ourselves standing at the top of the mountain, waving proudly at our cheering fans, smiling brightly at the press cameras and taking credit for our accomplishment.
I want that too.
Believe me, you will get there.
However, it would be insane to attempt while you are unprepared, wouldn't it?
So, I'm going to help prepare you - both physically and mentally - for the task at hand. Otherwise, you'll exhaust yourself by taking the long way round or, worse, falling down and having to retrace your steps.
Don’t look at your mountain as one huge leap, but as a series of small steps. Each step is an integral part of the journey to the top, and has something to be discovered and enjoyed along the way.
First, you need to accept that this will take many steps, executed one by one. So, before we start to climb, let's gather our tools, arm ourselves with the equipment we will need along the way and pack for a pleasant journey.
Apply this “mountain” metaphor to being able to organize your life.
In this case, the equipment you will need is mental preparation. To make room for positive, inspiring, and productive thoughts, we first need to clear your mind of some of the negative clutter that may have been partially responsible for holding you back so far.
In my experience and discussions with my readers over the years, I've discovered a couple of common roadblocks that stand out.
How to Influence Your Motivation, Discipline and Procrastination
I want to give these three words special mention here, because they seem to mean so much to so many people. These three words keep coming up, and always in the context of some sort of "reason" why someone has yet to start the process of getting organized.
Because we will be using these words often throughout the book, it is best to remove any negative connotation that they may have for you and replace it with a more positive association, so that when you hear them you react differently.
Ready?
Motivation A lot of people hear this word and think, "I don't have any", which can make them feel weighted down and guilty.
In truth, motivation means feeling enthusiastic about doing something, and having the desire. It should make us feel excited to make a start and take action.
Discipline A scary word for many, because it is usually associated with punishment from when we were younger.
It also refers to the prevention of wrongdoing, not the consequence. Being disciplined means avoiding a potential problem in the first place.
As adults, this is the definition that we need to think of when using this word. So in this book, it is directly related to motivation, not any of the other negative stuff, okay?
Procrastination We all know it means - postponing and delaying things as long as possible, but that doesn't mean we are going to do anything about not procrastinating, does it?
As life keeps coming at us, whether we are ready or not, it's inevitable that we will sometimes avoid doing what we know we should.
The trick is to become aware of when you are doing this, so as to catch it early and turn it around. The re-thinking the same thing over and over with "I must do this and I must do that", is way more time consuming than you realize. We need to retrain ourselves to 'just do it' and get on with it.
Life's too short!!
Turning Words into Actions
We've already used the mountaintop metaphor as a little visual exercise to make a point.
Let's apply the mountain visual example to your immediate mission here.
Visualize the end result: Take the time to really identify what it is you want to achieve, and be realistic. Your big picture should be something that is attainable in your life, in your home. If you can conceive it, you can achieve (who said that? they were right.).
What is the top of the mountain for you?
? To have an extra day off each week?
? To be able to add an exercise routine to your schedule?
This is your Motivation.
See yourself in the role: Walk through it in your mind, over and over again. The clearer the picture is in your mind, the easier it will be to achieve.
By doing this exercise repeatedly, you can start to identify the steps you will need to take and the obstacles that may be present themselves.
The more you mentally prepare for your journey, the less likely you will be to run into roadblocks or unpleasant surprises. You will be better prepared to avoid errors, which would inevitably have negative consequences; like lost time or energy.
This is your Discipline.
Be proactive: This means being prepared to act on your ultimate goal. It means deliberately living in a way that fuels a positive outcome & having a 'can-do' attitude.
Taking the time to learn about your strengths and weakness and what makes you tick is the key to understanding your individual motivation and discipline and being able to go from there.
There's No Time Like the Present
Whoever said that was a genius. A simple statement loaded with truth and potential.
Do you like having free time; time to just chill with family or friends, or even by yourself with a magazine or your favourite TV show. Bliss!
Free time is really only 'free' when we have mental clarity. Of course, it's impossible to have total mental clarity all the time, because there are too many things in life we can't control, but there are equally as many things we can control.
For example, If you've set aside a day's worth of tasks and taken time-out for yourself, you won't enjoy your free time nearly as much as you would if you had first completed those tasks, and then stepped away for some "me" time.
I want to get you into a new mindset. There are two ways to look at things: Here's an example: Thinker One: "Oh, I have so much to do today, but I really just want to go shopping."
Thinker Two: "After I finish the most important things on my 'to-do' list, I think I will reward myself with a little window shopping!"
Which thinker are you?
If you are Thinker One, the dreams of blowing off your chores are going to overwhelm your proactive thoughts, and win-out - negating the relaxing free time you are supposed to be having. Now, you will not only have accomplished nothing today, but you will have doubled your task list for tomorrow and feel extra guilty, because you didn't even appreciate the time you gave yourself anyway.
Yikes. You can go to the shops, but you will be walking around with slouched shoulders carrying the burden of guilt and failure. And tomorrow, when you face the consequences of this decision and the overwhelming task in front of you, you may end up burying your head under the pillow instead. That is without mentioning the element of 'quality', which is likely to be compromised in your work now that you have to rush to catch up.
The domino effect kicks in very quickly, and fiercely. One bad decision carries a series of consequences.
However, let's turn this coin over and look at the shiny side.
If you are Thinker Two, you have just given yourself the gentle little nudge needed to get started, and done your chores.
You will soon be walking with your head held high, happily walking along the aisles of your favourite shops, free of guilt, enjoying your well-deserved free time.
In addition, by sticking to your schedule, you will accomplish a much better result the first time around. You then go into the jobs you have to do with a much more positive attitude and approach them with more gusto.
When you look at it that way, it's really a very simple decision which way you should look at it, isn't it?
