1. Assess and Prepare:

• Choose a space:

  Start with a small area like a drawer, shelf, or a single room to avoid feeling overwhelmed. 

• Gather supplies:

  Have boxes, bags, or containers ready for items to be trashed, donated, or relocated. 

• Clear the area:

  Take everything out of the space to get a clear view of what you're working with. 

2. Sort and Declutter:

• Categorize: Sort items into categories like clothes, books, or kitchenware. 

• Be ruthless: Evaluate each item and ask yourself if you need it, use it, or love it. If not, discard or donate it. 

• Consider the 12-12-12 rule: Find 12 items to throw away, 12 to donate, and 12 to return to their proper places. 

• Utilize the 20/20 rule: Get rid of items you can replace for under $20 and within 20 minutes. 

• Embrace the five-second rule: If you can't remember the last time you used an item within five seconds, it might be time to let it go.

• 3. Organize and Maintain:

• Give everything a home: Assign a specific place for each item to maintain order. 

• Use storage solutions: Utilize shelves, drawers, and containers to keep items organized and accessible. 

• Label everything: Label containers and shelves to easily identify contents. 

• Maintain the system: Regularly put items back in their designated places to prevent clutter from accumulating. 

• Consider vertical storage: Maximize space by utilizing vertical storage solutions like shelves and wall organizers. 

• Create zones: Establish areas for specific activities, like a work zone or a relaxation zone. 

• 4. Declutter Regularly:

• Make it a habit: Dedicate a few minutes each day or week to declutter and maintain your organized space. 

• Avoid over-collecting: Adopt a "buy one, get rid of two" mentality and be mindful of new purchases. 

• Don't be afraid to change: If an organizing system isn't working, don't hesitate to adjust it.  We can help you with everything. Contact us. Let's Talk
