*Step 5

Recruit your family! Yes, you can get your family to help in organizing your house which will also help in organizing rest of your life. Hold a meeting and explain to your family what you AND them need to do. Assign each member certain chores and duties. Make sure they understand importance of task they are undertaking. This might take some time, but it will be very advantageous in long run.

*Step 6

Get started! The plans are made, army is recruited, now is time to put plan into action! Each step will take time. Do not rush it or get discouraged if it doesn't happen overnight.

*Step 7

Get rid of clutter! If you have saved everything you ever got from emails to report cards - get rid of it. Keep only what you need to keep. Cleaning out clutter will give you a feeling of control so you can take on remaining steps more easily. It is a major step in getting organized!

*Step 8

Do it again! Each day is another chance to get a little more organized and a step closer to achieving those goals! If you start feeling out of control and overwhelmed again, refer back to Step 1. Then get back into action! As each little step is accomplished, you will feel more in control and more confident. But even those of us who are in total control and meticulously organized, ( is there such a person) will feel over- whelmed sometime. Consistency is key. Once you get organized, stay organized.

Make organization and planning a daily habit. I don't think any of us are or can be completely organized all time. But if we learn to take each step and day at a time, times we are not organized or in control will be fewer are much farther between!!

A few ezines I would recommend are: Rim Digest at http://www.rimdigest.com Simple Biz Ezine at http://www.simplebizpublications.com Ideas By Post at http://www.ideasbypost.com and also, My Own Ezine at http://www.myownezine.com ;-)

These ezines are very well written and each publisher has a very distinct style and personality to go along with useful content.

What you want to do with your ezine is establish a trust relationship with your readers. You want them to get to know you and learn that they can trust you and your recommendations. Be there for them if they have questions, if they need advice, or support, or if they just want to talk with someone who has more experience.

Your ezine is much, much more than an advertisement for your business. It is a bond between you and your readers. Treat it as such!

Ezine publishing can be a very rewarding, fun, challenging and if done right, profitable venture!

In next week's article, I will be dealing with layout, design and format and also naming your new ezine.
