Sit down with your spouse, significant other and/or family members.
Discuss the topic of organization: What it is and why it is important?
Divide your organization plan into two parts:
Individual organization
Family organization
Write down the answers for the following questions:
What are your personal goals in life?
Where do you want to be five years from now?
What are your 1st, 2nd, 3rd (so on) priorities in your life?
