We all have that friend or relative with home that is very organized. I recently asked the person I know with an incredibly organized home why they are so organized. She said that she feels that wasting time looking for things takes away the time she can be doing the things that she enjoys doing. Organization starts with getting rid of clutter. The key to “decluttering” is to be organized. They shared with me, the most effective ways they use to stay organized.
The following are 5 easy ways to “declutter” and stay organized:
- A Place for everything – The old adage is so important! Everything in your home should belong in a specific place. Go through one room at a time and put everything away. Once all things are put where they go, make it a habit to put things away. It really takes very little time to put things away!
- Sort mail as it comes in – As mail comes into your home, stand over your trash can and make a decision with each piece of mail. Trash it, file it, respond to it, or take action on it — don’t let it accumulate!
- One in, one out – This is one of my favorites! Make a habit of throwing out, selling, or giving away something for every new thing you bring into the house. For example, when you buy a new pair of shoes, throw out an old pair. This should apply to most things you buy. (Of course, Coach purses are the exception!)
- Do one extra organizing job every day. For example clean out a kitchen drawer or organize a bathroom cupboard that is cluttered. Stuck in traffic? Clean out your purse or glove compartment.
- Keep a “charity” box in the trunk of your car. As you find things in your home that you want to donate, take it right out to the trunk of your car. You will be more likely to drop off your donations if they are already in your car.
