Many times I hear folks talking about "getting organized" or "when I am organized" as if it is some magical state of being that once it happens remains that way.
Organization is a continual process and a way of living that makes use of conscious decisions to create a calm, efficient environment to create space in our homes and lives for the things and opportunities that we really want.
I often compare organizing to the process of losing weight or getting fit. Neither of these activities happen overnight. You did not get over-weight or out-of-shape over night either so why would you think that there is a quick fix that will last. Sure you can do crash diets and throw everything away to clear out a room but the habits that created the problem in the first place are still there waiting to undo the quick fix.
The prescription for all these conditions is much the same as well, small incremental lifestyle changes. I work with my clients usually in blocks of 2 hours. This is enough time to tackle an area but not so long that the begin to experience decision burnout. It also means that the space we are organizing is small enough to be maintained until the next session. They are able to experience small changes in a way that allows them to be lifestyle changes that are manageable.
