Here is a sample of the advice from Jeff’s book, The 60 Second Organizer. These can be discussion points or made into questions:

• No one is born with organizing skills; everybody has to acquire them along the way.
• Disorganization often means losing track of good ideas because you are not sufficiently organized to capture, retrieve, and apply them as desired.
• You create most of the obstacles you encounter related to staying organized.

• By indentifying your underlying motives for wanting to become organized you can more easily take action that will result in the desired achievement.
• People who are reasonably adept at rewarding others for accomplishing organizing tasks are often curiously deficient when it comes to rewarding themselves!
• The negative effects of disorganization may be wreaking havoc on your career, even if you don’t realize it.

• Perfectionism is the mortal enemy of becoming organized.
• Some people approach getting organized with fear and trepidation even though they otherwise tend to be bold.
• Nearly every major excuse for not becoming organized is lame.

• Waiting until you are “in the mood” to get organized is an ill-conceived strategy.
• The act of choosing is a simple but powerful technique that will aid you in becoming and remaining organized.
• Being organized is an essential element to a successful career and a happy home life.
