10 Clutter Habits To Break

By Elvie Look 

Even though I am a bit (just a tich) of a neat freak and love being organized, you may be shocked to know that I do not get up in the morning and wonder "hmm, what can I organize today?" I really don't think about it at all because organizing has become a "habit," and a habit is when you do something without even realizing or thinking about it.

Getting organized is really about developing good habits. I've shared about some of those habits in my articles 10 Baby Steps To Getting And Staying Organized and Best And Worst Habits Of An Organizing Junkie. For example, a good habit is to never walk by garbage or dirty dishes without picking it up.

But there is more needed to be successful in keeping an organized and clean home.

Let me illustrate it this way:
How successful would you be at losing weight if you ate healthy food ALONG with junk food? If you enjoyed a wonderful spring salad and herbal tea along with a greasy burger and fries?

Or, while teaching your children the good habit of saying "Please" and "Thank you," would you disregard their bad habit of belching at the table, or interrupting you when you are talking to someone?

You get my point. You need to develop good habits ALONG with "unlearning" or "breaking" some bad habits. You won't be successful unless you work on BOTH.

Bad Habits To Break:

1. Eating anywhere in the house and leaving your tracks
2. Not putting away tools after using them
3. Ignoring the mail
4. Leaving dishes in the sink or on the counter
5. Dropping clothes on the floor
6. Not making your bed
7. Taking the last and not replenishing
8. Keeping something that is broken or you no longer use "just in case"
9. Leaving projects unfinished
10. Procrastinating

Ok, so we know change is necessary, but that is easier said than done. Habits don't change overnight, so let's look as some practical ways to make this doable.

How To Change Your Habits:

• Pick and admit one bad habit you have that is contributing to your situation. Recognition and admission is half the battle. And notice I suggested only "one." If you try to work on all of your bad habits, it may be too much and you will give up. That's not what we want, so let's just work on one at a time.
• Make things convenient to help break that habit. For example, if you always drop your clothes on the floor, then do two things - install a clothes hook right where you are dropping them, on behind the door, and put a clothes hamper for dirty clothes there. Now you have no excuse for them being on the floor, if you are wearing them again, they go on the hook, if they are dirty, they go into the hamper.
• Enlist help from your family. If you leave dirty dishes on the counter, then get the family to all help. You can even set the timer for 15 minutes, and get everyone involved to help do the dishes for just 15 minutes. Having the timer makes it seem like a short time, they can spare 15 minutes, plus you are teaching them some good habits.
• Reward yourself. If you are struggling with making your bed every day, then allow yourself one day a week when you don't have to make it. Give yourself a "cheat" day or a "day off." Now you can play that day, and not feel guilty, but back on track the next day.
• Put your Tasks into bite-sized pieces. If you have the bad habit of procrastinating, then perhaps the tasks need to be broken down into smaller ones. For example: if you want to organize your garage but just can't get started, then break it down into small chunks. Such as - clear out all the garbage in the garage. Now that task isn't so overwhelming and makes it doable. When the garbage is cleaned out, then move onto another small task such as take all the recyclables to the depot. Then you can purge tools you are not using. Just look at ways to break it into smaller tasks.
• Put it in writing. To help you with dropping your bad habits - put up a message to remind you, either on your fridge, your bulletin board, your screen saver on your computer. Just a little visual to keep you on track.
• Remember your goal. Think about getting to where you want to be in life. You don't want to be stuck in the same rut you are now, you want to move forward, you want to be more organized, on top of things, you don't want to feel overwhelmed or like a failure anymore. Visualize your new life, and you will get there.

The Wrap Up

One key way to breaking a bad habit is to replace it them with a good habit, a specific task. One little task each day. You don't need to do this on your own. Let me help you, let me inspire you each day with one little organizing tip. Just doing one thing a day makes a world of difference. Don't wait, one tip a day into your inbox will help you get organized even if you failed in the past. Start The Journey NOW! Go to http://elviesessentials.com/oneaday

Feeling Stressed? Here Are Three Reasons Why Organization For the Home Can Reduce Stress

By Wendy Mitchell 

With the current state of the economy, odds are you are at least somewhat stressed about the current state of your job. Add in the cost of everything going up in price, and you are probably feeling stressed all the time and just need a safe and comfortable place to relax at the end of the day. If you are like the rest of us, your home may not be full of clutter and not as well organized as you would hope it could be. This clutter can actually add to your stress levels without you even knowing it. Whether it be the frustration because you can not find a specific item when you need it, or yet another late fee on one of your bills because it got lost in the pile of stuff on the counter only to be found after the due date had passed. While organizing your home may be the last thing on your list of things you want to do, here are three reasons why organizing your home can actually help reduce your stress levels, allowing you to live a healthier, stress free life.

First, you actually have time to relax. Do you actually remember the last time you were able to sit down and actually not have to think or do anything for at least a short amount of time? When your home is a disorganized mess, you never seem to get a chance to relax until its time to go to bed. Whether you are on a quest for one of your kid's lost items of clothing, or the important warranty paperwork you knew you had when something major breaks, odds are you never really get a chance to sit down and relax. When everything has its place in your home, you have time to relax and regenerate your mood so you are ready to tackle the next day's task full of energy.

Second, organization can reduce you bill paying stress. Once you are organized you will know exactly what bills are due and when. This reduces your fears that your credit score will suffer due to another late payment or more fees because you were not able to get your payment in on time. When your bills are organized, it is impossible for anything to slip through the cracks and this organization actually puts you in control of your finances. Since money is the most common stressor in everyone's life, organizing your finances really can help reduce your stress levels because it puts you in control, which eliminates the stress that can be caused by the fear of the unknown.

Lastly, you will actually save money. When your home is organized, you know everything that is in it and can create a list of only the things you need to buy. Odds are at least once in the recent future you have purchased an item at the grocery store that you thought you were out of and needed, only to get home and find out that you actually had three in the closet. You most likely did not know you had those items already on hand because they were put away in a different location that you did not think to check before you left the house. When your home is organized, everything has its place and you will always know what you have and what you need. This eliminates the purchasing of duplicates which can actually end up saving you tons of money in the long run.

Cleaning Clutter in the Garage So it Can Be Used As it Was Intended

By Wendy Mitchell 

If you are having a hard time remembering the last time you were actually able to park your car in the garage you may have come to the realization that you need to implement some form of organization for the home. Whether your garage has become the dumping ground for useless junk or your husband just has too many tools and toys that he just can not live without, there are some key tips that can help you organize your garage so it can be used for what it was intended.

Do an analysis of the clutter. Before you even think about purchasing any items to help store all the stuff in your garage, you will need to determine what needs to be kept and what has to go. In reality this should be a family affair since the pile that has formed in the garage was not created by one person alone. Take a weekend and start going through everything and determine what will be kept, tossed or donated. Once that is done you will have a better idea of what you need to make a home for.

Assess your storage needed. Now that you have purged everything that your family no longer needs, you now need to make an assessment of the best way to store all the remaining stuff. Depending on the type of stuff you need to store you may either need to purchase cabinets for all your husband's tools, or maybe plastic containers for other stuff. Either way you should determine what your storage needs are before you go to the store. Going in with a game plan will help you purchase only what you need and not waste money on stuff that you do not.

Do not let the family return to old habits. Since you have spent a fair amount of time organizing your garage so you can actually park your car in it again, you will want to make sure it stays organized. While old habits can be hard to break, you will want to make sure your family does not fall into the old routine of using the garage as a dumping ground. If something new needs to be added, make an assessment of the best way to store it and make sure you take care of it as soon as you can. This eliminates the chance of an organized space turning into a disorganized mess.

These are just a few of the key tips that can help you transform your garage from major clutter, to organized success. Make sure to be honest with yourself and only keep what you need and you will be back to using your garage as it was intended.

Easy Organization Steps to Cleaning Clutter in Your Basement

By Wendy Mitchell 

If you have plans on utilizing your basement for more than just the dumping ground for all the stuff that you could not seem to find a home for, then you are probably contemplating organizing your basement. Whether you are looking to finish part of it for family use, or just need to bring some order to your basement, odds are you are considering some form of organization for the home. While organizing the ever growing pile of stuff in your basement may seem like a daunting task, there are three key tips that can help you make sure everything has its place.

First, take the time to sort through what you need to organize. Since your basement has become the dumping ground for a variety of items, you will need to make a thorough analysis of what you need to keep and what you can do without. Like any process that requires the possibility of throwing things away, you need to be honest with yourself with the stuff you plan to keep. Is it something that you may possibly use in the next few months or does it hold some sort of sentimental value to a member of your family. Once you know specifically what items you need to find storage for, organizing those items in the proper location becomes so much easier.

Second, analyze your storage needs. Now that you know what you need to store, you need to determine the best way to store them. If you have a lot of small items that need to be found quickly than clear plastic containers may be your best bet, or maybe free standing cabinets will work better for you. Either way you need to have some type of idea as to what type of storage will work best for you before you visit your local home improvement store. With so many different options, you want to make sure you have an idea in mind, otherwise you can end up spending hundreds on tools that you may never need or may not have the room for in your home.

Lastly, keep on top of it. Since you have more than likely spent at least a few weekends organizing your basement, odds are you would like to keep it that way. Whenever you have something new that needs to be stored in the basement, make a quick analysis of the best way to store it and go out and purchase the right organization tool that can handle it. If you are vigilant about your storage needs your basement will always stay neat and organized no matter what you need to store in it.

Simple Steps to Cleaning Clutter on Your Kitchen Table So That a Family Dinner is Possible

By Wendy Mitchell 

If you are like me then odds are the majority of the clutter in your home resides on your kitchen table. While this is most commonly the place were you may enjoy meals with the family, it may also be the dumping location for mail and anything else that may not have a set place in your home. Here are some key tips that can help you keep your kitchen table clutter free so it can be used for only the tasks as it was intended.

First, designate a specific area in your home for mail. Unless you are someone who sorts through the mail as soon as it comes in the door, you will need to have a set area for the mail to be dropped at. Whether it is an organization box that hangs on the wall in your kitchen or a basket near the door, you need to have one place for all the mail to go. Just remember that it will need to be sorted through on a daily basis so bill can be placed in their designated area and junk mail can be filed accordingly so as to prevent clutter from occurring in other areas of your home.

Second, find a home for the unknowns. Odds are you have at least one or two items sitting on your table that have no home of their own. Items with no home are the second largest cause of clutter because these items tend to sit in one area for an extended period of time because we do not know what to do with them. Take the time to find a home for the item in question so it is gone from the table. Every item that has a home is one less item that can cause clutter on your table.

Lastly, start recycling. More than likely the last thing that still resides on your kitchen table is all the newspapers that you either purchased or have delivered to you on a daily or weekly basis. Newspapers are the most common form of clutter because the pile seems to grow nearly overnight and finding a place to put them usually ends up forming more clutter just in a different location. Start recycling your newspapers and any other paper goods that your home uses. This way you can designate a specific are in your home for papers only and once a week the pile will be taken care of. You can either drop them at the curb for garbage pickup or drop them of at your nearest recycling center. Either way you have a plan for the newspapers which eliminates another cause of clutter in your home.

An Organized Office is a Productive Office

By: Corrie Petersen

Have you ever had a day where you took one look at your office and walked right back out? Maybe your office is so bad that you’ve moved it to the family room. Either way, this is not good. The whole purpose of an office is so you have a place to work that is quite and one that you can call your own.

Did you know that studies show people who have clean offices work better and feel better? If you think about it, it’s true. When your office is organized and clean you will work more efficiently and you will feel less stress.

There are a number of things you can do to your office to make it more organized and work more efficiently for you. Of course all of this depends on the space and equipment you have in your office. Some of these things may work for you and some may not. Use what works for you and make sense to you.

File folders work really well for things that are the same or if you have a lot of paper for one person. If you have a drawer in your desk, you can use this, but if you have more files than what will fit in there, you will want to get a two or four drawer cabinet. If this is the case, put the files you use the most in the drawer of your desk and put the rest in your file cabinet.

On your desk, you will want only the things you are working on that day or week. If you have more, you will feel cluttered and you won’t have room to work. One thing that you can use that will keep your desk clear is a desktop file folder sorter. You can use this for paper as well as folders. It comes in very handy because they don’t take up a lot of room, but they store a lot of paper.

You should also get a desktop supply organizer. Depending on the size, they will hold paper clips, pens, pencils, scissors, and a small sticky note pad. Some may even have enough room to hold your tape dispenser, a stapler, and a note pad. Decide which one will work for your needs and space before you make the purchase. You may find it’s easier to have these things tucked away in a drawer rather than your desk.

Personal effects are always nice to have, but you don’t want too many. You should consider hanging pictures on the wall instead of your desk. This will save space, but will still allow you the comfort of having them with you.

An organized office is a productive office and that’s what business is all about. When you are productive you feel great about what you do. An organized office will have a helping hand in this situation. When you follow these tips, you will have an organized office and one that you will want to work in on a daily basis.

4 Tips for Organizing Your Home so You Can Work More Efficiently

By: Corrie Petersen

When you work more efficiently you get more done in a day and you won’t stress about things. One of the best ways to make that happen is to organize your home. There are a number of ways to make this work, but it’s important you get it done so you work your business efficiently and effectively.

Here are a few suggestions for you to consider putting into action in your own home.

1. Clean your home from top to bottom making sure everything has a home and that it makes sense where you put it. Don’t put your toilet paper in the kitchen or your towels in the bedroom. It’s important to put things in your home close to the place you’ll use them at the most.

2. Create chore lists for the family. When they know what needs to be done they won’t bother you with questions about what needs to be done. One thing to consider is creating a list for each room of the home and taping it in a place where each person can see it easily. A cabinet or wall is a thought.

3. Take one day a week and clean your home thoroughly. Then do a quick pick up each day so it doesn’t take a lot of time to clean on that day you choose. Involve the entire family so you’re not the only one cleaning the house.

4. When you work a home business it’s important to have your own space. While that space is important you need to keep it organized and personal home items free. Don’t store the kids’ toys in your office, but at the same time it’s important to keep your business items in your office and not in another part of the house.

An organized home makes for an efficient family. It’s like a well oiled piece of machinery, it works smoothly and efficiently and the same goes for your home. When it’s organized and in order you won’t have problems knowing what to do and how to do it. You won’t have to worry or stress when you spend all day cleaning only to find out you forgot something.

How to Tackle Organization For the Home Without Feeling Overwhelmed

By Wendy Mitchell 

If you are quickly becoming frustrated with all the clutter that exists in your home, you probably know that you need to institute some form of organization, but you are probably feeling a little overwhelmed with where to start. The clutter that exists in your home did not form overnight and the task of tackling that clutter will take some time. While you may be feeling like organizing your home is a lost cause, there are some key tips that can help you tackle the task without feeling overwhelmed.

Start small. While you may be desperate to get your home organized as soon as you can, trying to tackle too much at once can quickly kill any ambition you may have started with. You will want to choose an area that you can tackle in a short amount of time so you can feel like you have accomplished something. Whether it is the junk drawer in the kitchen or the pile of mail on the table, tacking something that will end up with a positive result will give you the encouragement needed to tackle the next task.

Take on the keep it or chuck it attitude. While nearly everything in your home will hold at least some sort of sentimental value, you need to be serious with the things you really need to keep. Your need to keep everything is more than likely what got you into all the clutter that you are now tackling. Now comes the time to actually start purging stuff. Be honest with yourself and be strong enough to get rid of the stuff you really do not need. It will help improve the look of your home while giving you another vote of encouragement at the same time.

Make a plan. For those larger areas that require much more attention to get them organized, you may need to formulate a plan of attack. Areas such as your closet or even the basement may require some form of storage units to assist with your home organization. Take the time to do a preliminary assessment and determine what you need. When you are ready to tackle the task you will have all the tools needed so you can tackle yet another task with success.

Why Organization For the Home Can Help Relieve Stress

By Wendy Mitchell 

We all know that our home is supposed to be our sanctuary, a place that we go to relax and regenerate ourselves after a stressful day. Yet all too often, our stress levels tend to increase when we get home when we are faced with even more tasks that need our attention. Whether it is our kids asking us to help them find their favorite shirt for school the next day, or trying to figure out what to make for dinner, our dream for a relaxing evening usually turns into anything but. Organizing the home can actually help reduce stress levels by being able to find everything just when you need it. Here are three key tips that explain why taking the time to organize your home can help reduce your stress levels allowing you to live a happier life.

First, you will feel relaxed. Odds are, every morning and evening in your home is spent in a frenzied blur. Whether you are trying to find your kids books and shoes so they are ready to leave for the bus, or finding the last ingredient for dinner that you could have sworn you had in the closet but can not seem to find. Being always in edge and in a constant state of frenzy always adds to your stress levels, even if it may be on a subconscious level. When your home is organized, you will actually feel calm and relaxed when you walk in the door because everything has its place and can easily be found by member of the family. This leaves you the ability to take care of yourself so you are ready to tackle the tasks of tomorrow.

Second, cleaning becomes a breeze. When your home is unorganized, the task of cleaning each room becomes much more cumbersome. Whether it is something as simple as vacuuming the rugs or dusting off the furniture, clutter can make a simple task much more difficult. When your home is organized and clutter free, the amount of time it takes to clean every room of your home is drastically decreased. This leaves you more time to handle the other tasks in your home that you really want to do.

Lastly, you have time to do what you really want to do. When your home is unorganized and full of clutter, you end up spending most of your time trying to tackle the most important tasks in your home that keep everything running. Whether it is paying the bills, cleaning or tackling the task of finding a missing piece of clothing, you never seem to have any time for yourself. When your home is organized, everything has its place and tasks can be tackled quickly. This frees up time in your schedule so you can do what you really love to do. Whether it's your favorite craft, or just having the time to read the newest best seller, home organization frees up time so you can do what you really want to do.

A Simple Guide to Home Organization and Making a Stress-Free Home

By Carolyn Anderson 

One of the things that can make our lives stressful is living in a cluttered home or working on a cluttered office desk that will later send you scrambling for some things that you just can't find. To help you start living a spacious and refreshing abode, start with having a simple guide to home organization and be free yourself from more stress at home.

- Start with small steps and start now. Before you are overwhelmed with what to do and where to start, start in small steps towards organizing your home. Start by organizing shoes first, or your set of bags, or clearing the counter top in the kitchen, or organizing the bathroom after a bath. However small it may be, it can contribute a lot to being organized day by day.

- Have a place for everything. Of course, one guide to home organization is to have a place for everything in the house. Storage spaces are very important in home organizing and even from the start, consider having storage places in the kitchen, in the bathroom, in the living room, the kid's rooms etc. If you have storage for all the things you intend to keep, it will be a lot easier to put everything in their proper places.

- Set your mood to really like home organizing. Finding a motivation to do the task is also an important part of organizing. Of course, your attitude towards it matters. If you think there is not much enough time to do it, then you have to overcome this thinking as it can lead to procrastination. One tip to set your motivation is to browse some home organization images or articles in magazines or the internet to help you jumpstart your organizing plans. By merely looking at how clean and how pleasing a well-kept and organized home is, you can find great ideas on how you can organize your living space too.

- Make home organizing fun. Beat your thoughts and make home organizing fun and enjoyable. One thing to do it is to find someone who can help you with organizing - be it your partner in life, or your kid or a good friend who loves to put her creative juices on home organizing. It helps also to plan to give yourself a reward after you have done everything with the home organizing.

- Delegate some of the work to the rest of the family. Share and delegate the responsibility to keep your home clutter-free and organized. Teach your kids how they too can start organizing their room - from their toys to their books and everything else. This does not only take loads from you, it will also help teach the kids early on how to make their living spaces clutter-free and clean.

- Learn to let go. The more you cling to something that is not needed anymore, the more it can build up to be a clutter. Of course, you have to let go of dresses that have been sitting in your closet for years and years, and those pair of shoes that only gathers dust, and those broken kitchen utensils and the many things that haven't been used for ages. Letting go may be difficult but it is one good start in maintaining a clutter-free and stress-free home.

Find a great guide to home organization that will help you go into the details of how you can organize your home.

Creating an Organized Home

By Jill Borash 

When you set about the task of trying to create an organized home, it can seem overwhelming. There are so many rooms that need attention and so many things that you need to find a place for. How can you get it all organized? And how can you do it without going crazy?

In order to keep from getting overwhelmed, you will need a plan. Decide in what order you will tackle the rooms in your home. Which one causes you the most stress? It is best to start with that one. Then figure out in what order you want to tackle the others.

Once you have decided on the first room that you are going to organize, start by going through the items in the room. Figure out which items you use and need and which ones you do not. Sometimes all you need to create an organized home is to get rid of those things that you no longer use. If the items are in useable condition, donate them to a good cause. Otherwise just toss them out.

Once you have just what you actually use and need in that room, figure out how you want to organize it. This may mean getting some home organization tools to help you. Be sure that you do not buy too many as this can sometimes just add to the clutter in your home. Think about how you use the items and where they belong the best based on how you use them. If you are unsure, just put the items where you think they belong the best. You can always rearrange later.

Another important thing to remember when you are trying to create an organized home is that your home will never be completely organized. In order to keep your sanity, it is best for you to remember that. Get more free tips at http://www.YourHomeIsOrganized.com

Easy Methods to Keep Up Organization For the Home

By Jill Borash 

When you really consider it, making your household organized is the simple part, it is sustaining it as organized that poses the most problematic challenge. You at last got all of that paper off of your kitchen counter but what is the way you keep it off? Once everyone has finally gotten their things and their rooms coordinated, how do you continue to keep yourself, your kids, your family members organized? Keeping your organization for the home is not as hard as you may believe it is. It merely involves a bit of considering and action.

The starting thing that you must do is prepare a plan. How often do you have to keep up with particular organising tasks? Daily? Weekly? Bi-weekly? Monthly? Yearly? Decide on which of your organization for the home jobs fall into each of these categories and list them out in that method. Working over the mail may be a everyday project. Paying the bills might be a weekly or bi-weekly task. In order for you to feel as if you possess an organized house, resolve what needs to be done when.

Once you get this list, maintain it in a principal position which you look at frequently or add it to your calendar. Be sure that you schedule in time to your life to be certain that these things get finished. For your monthly and yearly organization for the home jobs, associate a date with them. Commit in your calendar when you will make those items done by or when you will start out working at that organizing labor. Making the plan is good but you have to be sure that you act on that plan.

Another matter which is great to do is to have regularly scheduled organizing meetings with yourself. I understand that might sound silly but bear with me a second. Holding a weekly meeting with yourself might aid you in understanding what has gone straightforwardly that week, what has not, and what you might have to correct and where you must spend extra time for the forthcoming week. This does not need to be prolonged, 10-15 minutes should be enough time to make it worked out. This meeting time is a grand time to figure out if there are areas of your plan that are not effective and the way to fix them. It aids you in keeping on top of your progress and to continue going.

Maintaining your organization for the home plan in position does require a trifle of exertion and planning but the tiny quantities of time you spend preserving it as coordinated adds up to not having to reorganize your household all over again in 6 months or a year. All you must do is acquire a plan, stick to it and carry through with yourself. Additional assistance for your home at http://www.YourHomeIsOrganized.com.

By continuing to stay organized, you may also have more available time to exercise and cook healthy meals for yourself and your family.

Also, you may even begin to see an improvement in your professional setting. An organized person gives a better professional impression than someone who has an office piled with lots of disorganized papers and boxes, or is always late for appointments.
