6 Ways To Get (And Stay) Organized In 2020
With 2020 right around the corner, now is the perfect time to start organizing yourself for the new year – starting with your home! Having a clean and organized space ensures that you and your family are able to find things quickly and that every item has a ‘home.’ Below we have listed a few tricks to help you get and stay organized for the new year and beyond!
-The first place to start in your organization journey is figuring out exactly what needs organizing. To accomplish this, our advice is for you to stand in the middle of the room and do a 360-degree turn. Take note of what areas catch your eye and make a list so you can stay on track.
-To ensure you don’t get overwhelmed by the project, write down a day/time that you would like to have each area completed by and do your best to stick to it. Maybe each weekend you tackle a different room/area of the house and keep on the schedule until you are satisfied with the results. Doing this will make the project manageable, keep your stress level down and give you something tangible to work towards.
-Our next tip is probably the most important in your organization journey – and that is to declutter your space! Take some time before you start to organize any room and go through drawers, cabinets, countertops, etc. and throw away/donate anything that no longer serves you. This will ensure that you are only organizing items that you need and will use throughout the year and get rid of items that don’t need to take up space.
-Organizing and storing your things with similar items will make it easy when you or a family member go to look for something. For example, keeping a drawer with pens/pencils/markers/envelopes/stamps/paper clips, etc. is an effective way to organize office supplies and keep everything in order.
-Don’t be afraid to utilize storage bins, containers and drawer organizers, as these items will end up being your best friends! Investing in, and utilizing, storage containers can go a long way and help to keep everything in its place.
-Our last tip for you is to make organizing a habit. Just taking a few minutes here and there to check in and touch up will go a long way in keeping things organized and your home running smoothly in 2020!
