We hope these organization tips will help make your life easier and for you to enjoy being at home as Spring arrives!
Tip #1: Start small and prioritize.
- Organization is easy when you start with a plan.
- Take a step back and assess the areas of your home that need organizing.\Make a list of the rooms or spaces that need the most attention.
- Prioritize your frequently used and most cluttered spaces first
Tip #2: Tackle one area at a time.
- Focus on one area of your home at a time to avoid feeling overwhelmed.
- This could be a single room, a closet, or even just one drawer or shelf!
Tip #3: Sort items into categories.
- As you go through your belongings, sort them into categories such as keep, donate, sell, recycle, or trash.
- Don’t wait to actually donate, recycle or sell your items – take action!
Tip #4: Everything in it’s place.
- Create a designated home for everything. Creating a designated space makes it easier for you to find things as well as keep things organized.
- Designated spots could be for keys, mail, and other items that tend to accumulate in piles.
- Use dividers in your junk drawer to keep that space tidy.
Tip #5: One in, one out!
- For every new item you bring in your home, get rid of one item you no longer need or use.
- If you replace an item, get rid of the item you are replacing. Don’t hold on to it “just in case” – even if it still works (donate it instead)!
Tip #6: Make it a habit.
- Set aside 30 minutes every week to tidy up and put away items that have strayed out of their homes.
- Do a seasonal declutter with your closets and donate or sell clothes that you no longer wear.
- Check your fridge and pantry before grocery shopping to avoid buying duplicates – slide-out shelves will help you see everything in your cabinets!
Tip #7: Give it a name.
- Put a label on all your storage boxes!
- Labeling will help you quickly find what you need without having to open all your storage containers.
