It's time. You're finally ready to tackle that task you've been putting off for some time: organizing. Don't worry, it doesn't have to be a chore.
Here 7 tips for You always keep in mind when organizing. Take advantage of the tips and get to work on making your home a more functional space.
KNOW
Often, you don't realize how many things you have until everything is in front of you. When you are trying to organize a specific area, taking everything out and organizing things into piles will help you see what you have and, in turn, what you don't need. It's also important because you can visualize the space you're trying to organize and decide how to put it back into place.
How do you sort these piles? Categorize each item into "keep", "donate" and "maybe" piles. The keep piles are the things you can't live without.
After you are done with the donate piles, clear out a small section in your closet or a drawer in your bedroom for the things that end up in the "maybe" pile that, for some reason or another, you can't let go.
Make sure it is a small space. Be concise, don't move a bunch of things from one area to another.
BE HONEST
The first step in organizing your life (both physically and metaphorically) is to try to be honest. If you don't think you can do it, ask a friend or relative to help. Sometimes you just have to let go to make room for something better. Vow to be completely honest with yourself, even if it makes you feel uncomfortable. And, if possible, ask someone you trust to give you an unbiased opinion about things you may be in doubt about. "
CHANCE YOUR MIND
It's easy to form emotional attachments to items we don't use. Try to change your mindset. If you are not using something, and it is in good condition, you will have the opportunity to donate it to someone else who needs it. This will make you feel better about donating.
LET IT GO
Is that pair of shoes still in the box? That pot that's been in storage for years ... dust it off and let it go. "Repeat after me: you won't use it in the future." This goes for the crazy and useless things we all buy
ORGANIZER BOXES
For the things you just can't let go of - maybe they have sentimental value like old magazines, photo albums, or old letters - don't just shove them into random drawers and closets. "Invest in some home storage organizers and find a suitable space for them. Baskets are great, as are boxes that can be placed under the bed or stacked on closet shelves. Wall hooks and hangers are also wonderful for things you need (dog collars, hats, etc.), but don't necessarily have a specific place for.
EVERYTHING HAS ITS PLACE
This should be your ultimate goal when it comes to organization. "Everything that falls into your 'keeper' piles should have a place in your home. They are the final pieces of the puzzle being organized, and everything should fit together perfectly in the end.
TRUST
Don't try to organize your entire house at once. It is a long process, and you should try to take it one step at a time.
Just go day by day, space by space. You want your home to make you feel calm and at peace, try to locate specific cluttered areas that are bothering you and work on them little by little. If you try to do your whole house at once, you will find yourself stuck in an even bigger mess and even more stressed.
Remember to go slowly and with discipline.
See you next time
