«Erst Ordnung schaffen.»

the stylist proclaimed as she clipped a section of my hair to the side and combed the section she was about to cut.

Erst Ordnung schaffen.

First, create order.

At that moment the hairstylist probably had no clue what an impact she would have on my life.

Her comment was my official introduction to the German sense of order.

Erst Ordnung schaffen.

I'd just moved there, and told the stylist that, and how I still had a lot of unpacking to do.

“Erst Ordnung schaffen,” she stated. First create order. She was right! Once you have order, things begin to fall into place.

Take one of my clients as an example: In his own words, he was all over the place with his learning. Over a few weeks he kept coming to his lessons without having learned anything and didn't have his book or his notebook with him. It was unlike him. I asked him if he had a specific shelf or a drawer for his German books and notes, and he said no. His homework was...you guessed it...

Erst Ordnung schaffen.

He now has a drawer with his books and notebook in it, he organized his computer files for his German learning, and he knows exactly where everything is. It's only been a few weeks and his learning has already improved!

Erst Ordnung schaffen.

If your German learning materials are all over the place, give them a home. Move all your books and notebooks to one place. If you have electronic German materials, organize them in a way that makes sense to you.

That's enough for today. Take good care of yourself!

Das ist genug für heute. Passen Sie gut auf sich auf!
