To stay on top of home organization, you really have to keep small issues from becoming big ones. How do you do that you say? Why, let me tell you and thank you for asking!
-
Make sure that when you bring something new into your home, you give it a home too. Give it a space on a shelf, give it a basket or a storage bin to live in. And if you can go one step further, label that home with a label machine so everyone knows where it goes!
-
If you see an area that naturally starts to be a dumping zone, work with it not against it. If you seem to always come home and drop your mail on the kitchen counter, then set up a system at the kitchen counter that works for you and is visually appealing.
-
Containerize belongings that belong together so you can find them as well as put a cap on them. For example, place all your art supplies in a caddy or storage bin. When it’s time to create, you will know right where to go to get started. When items are stored together, you can really see how much you have and this will help you curb the urge to buy more.
-
Let go of items regularly. See that photo above? Well, there were a lot more games when we got started on that project. But with a donation bag at hand, a lot went out the door and the family was down to a manageable number of games that they really wanted which gave them more space and less visual clutter.
Stay on top of home organization by l0oking at problem areas and putting on the brakes before they get out of control-you can do it!
