Acronymity!

It might be a sign of the creative side of those who are disorganised and the systems they develop or perhaps just a sign of the procrastination they do so well, but there are an awful lot of great acronyms in use in the organising world.

Here are a few of my favourites:

CHAOS - Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome

SPACE - Sort, Purge, Assign, Containerise, Equalise

STOP - Sort, Throw out, Organise, Put away

JOYS - Just Organise Your Stuff

These mantras are designed to help us focus and stay on track. They don't actually do the work for you and they don't come with any guarantees, but they add a bit of fun to the whole process.
