Handling Bumps in the Road

In This Chapter

•  Getting organized as a family

•  Making an organized move

•  Planning for occasions and celebrations

•  Overcoming setbacks on the road to an organized life

As I’ve said before, getting organized is a journey, not a destination. Nothing underscores this truth faster than watching things fall apart around you under the stress of special circumstances. Family members pushing back against proposed changes in the household, or life events like moving and the holiday season, can leave chaos in their wake.

It’s all but inevitable that your newly organized life will be thrown for a loop from time to time. This chapter explores how to include family members in your efforts, cope with life’s special challenges, and make your way back from trying times.
