5 Ways to Begin Organizing your Home
1) Stop it before it comes in!
If it is junk mail, opt out of it and do not sign-up for contest that will put your name on a mailing list. In the ideal sense, if your husband has enough socks and you buy him more than you must toss an equal number.
2) Do you really need it?
When ever you are evaluating an item, please ask yourself: Do I really need it?, What is the worst thing that could happen without it?, and If you keep it then get rid of something else!
3) Find a home for everything.
Everything that you decide to keep must have a home of its own. This means not in the "junk-drawer" or stuffed at the bottom of a closet. It needs to be obvious to everyone where it goes.
4) Return things to their home.
This is the MOST important part of Home Organization, returning the item to its home everytime it is used. This is basically, Organizing 101, and the daily key to maintaining your space.
5) Practice these steps everyday.
Organizing is a continuous process and does not end when you have tossed and found homes for everything. But it is much easier from that point on. Follow these basic steps and you will be more organized making you feel better and your house look better.
