Today is the first day of 2013 and I know many of you have made the
resolution to be more organized for this upcoming year. Good for you.
I would like to share a few things that may help you in obtaining and
maintaining an organized home.
The first step has already been done . . . realizing you need organization.
Step two is to actually get there. Follow these steps and commit to
actually following through.
Step One: Start small. Clean out one closet, drawer, or pantry at a time. Don't start on
too many things at one time or you will be overwhelmed.
Step Two: Take everything out of space. Clean empty space. Determine what
needs to be replaced and put back in these items. Make one pile for donate or sell,
one for garbage, and one for items that belong somewhere else.
Step Three: Return items above that belong somewhere else to their
proper home.
This seems simple, but it will work. Do not try to take on too much at one time.
Commit to a room every week to two weeks. In a few months you will have
your entire house organized. Then you can move on to the garage or attic.
The weather should be warmer by then.
Some items you may find useful would be a label maker, organizational
bins or boxes. Invest in these as you work on each area.
