Five Easy Organizing Tips

Copyright © 2005 Lisa Rosen, ICanSeeTheFloor.com

1. Start in an area to which you are the least emotionally attached. This allows you to remove things easily (and remember The One Year Rule!). If you haven’t worn it, used it or looked at it in the past year, get rid of it.

2. Before you can organize you may need to downsize by sorting your belongings into 3 piles: Keep / Sell / Toss.

3. Organize a little bit each day by setting aside 15 minutes at the end of your day to tidy up your work / play area.

4. If you just can’t bear the thought of getting rid of your most treasured items, you can house them in appropriate storage containers and / or photograph them so that you can preserve your memories.

5. Before you buy anything ask yourself; Do I need this? Where will I put it? Is there space for it?  Do I already have it but just can’t find it? This will help you to avoid making unnecessary / duplicate purchases. REMEMBER - when you bring something new into your home, remove something old.
