Five Positive Benefits of Decluttering Your House

Clutter not only drags you down mentally, but it is also lead to wasting money. How exactly does clutter waste money, and how does getting rid of it help you possibly save money?

You Find Items You Forgot You Had

When you declutter, it can be like going shopping. As you clean, you will likely come across many objects that you forgot you had. You may need more pens and find close to ten. You just never know what you are going to find when you declutter. The rescued items can be organized from this point on, and used as needed.

You Don’t Have to Buy New Items Because You Lost the Old One

We’ve all been there. You have an item you need and you are sure you bought it already. You know that you have it somewhere, but you have so much clutter lying around that you may never find the item. You inevitably end up buying a new one, only to find the original several months down the road.

With piles and piles of seemingly random things being stored in your home, it can be near impossible to find what you are looking for when you need it the most. Decluttering can make your home more organized so that you never have to waste time looking for things you bought and misplaced, or buy a duplicate item.

It Encourages You to Buy Less

When you have spent a large amount of time decluttering your home, you realize what a time waster it is to have too many items. It can be the most effective way of convincing yourself to buy less. You could save some money if you take the simple step of curbing your spending patterns. Buy less, and your life may hopefully go in a more positive direction.

You May Even Think About Downsizing

The amount of real estate that clutter takes up is amazing. When you declutter, it makes you feel good and you will want to keep going. When you have gotten to a point where you are closer to being a minimalist, you will find that you truly do not need a lot of space to enjoy the home you live in. You may even possibly find yourself considering downsizing in order to save money and prepare for the future.

You Can Sell Old Items

Decluttering may leave you with not only a lot of junk, but also with many perfectly good items that you simply do not need. By selling these old items, you are not just saving money, but making some. This can be an added incentive to your decluttering efforts. Whether it be through a garage sale, word of mouth or an online ad, selling your old items can make some extra cash.

Decluttering is good for the mind, body and soul. It may also be good for the wallet. If you are hoping to save money and be more responsible with what you have, take these thoughts into consideration.

How Being Organized Can Save You Time And Possibly Money

 

We all want to be able to organize our schedules and have the commitment to maintain them on a day-to-day basis, but how? Creating a workable schedule is typically time-consuming and often results in a frustrating battle with your calendar.

Organization is beneficial for everyone and can be easily adapted to suit individual needs. And believe it or not, being organized in your everyday life actually saves you time and possibly money. Here are a few of the reasons why.

Efficient and Stress-Free

If you keep your belongings organized, you don’t need to spend time looking for them when needed. This is especially handy in the case of important yet rarely used items, such as insurance or tax information.

The key to keeping things organized is to come up with a place to keep something and stick to it. If you want to keep important mail in a desk drawer, make sure you keep all of your important mail in that drawer. Don’t be afraid of sorting your things too much. The more categories of things you come up with, the easier it will be to find exactly what you need when you need it.

Saves You from Buying New

Organization keeps you from buying items you already have, but you’ve forgotten about or lost in your household or workplace. You’re more likely to forget about a pack of rubber-bands you bought several months ago and never opened, than your car keys or your wallet. Combined, these types of purchases can end up costing you a significant amount of money for items that you already have.

Fortunately, this is a very fixable problem. By cleaning and organizing the designated “junk” drawers in your home or office and making a list of all the items, you will easily find the item you’re looking for the next time you go searching. This avoids unnecessary purchases and impulsive buys at the store in the future. It's a very flexible habit that can be applied to many aspects of your daily routine.

Helps You Remember Important Details

It can be hard to keep track of every detail when you have a lot going on in your life. Sometimes, bills can get lost in the shuffle and go unpaid, or household maintenance gets overlooked. By keeping all of your activities organized, you can get them done in a more efficient manner and you make sure that every detail is taken care of.

May Save Money on Shopping

If you plan out a menu for each month, you can buy many of your groceries in bulk, saving you time and frequent trips to the store. If you prepare a list ahead of time, you can also look for coupons that offer savings on the things you plan to buy.

The same applies to non-food items, which can be bought in bulk and stored for later use. Staying organized and keeping essentials stocked up saves you the stress of running out to make a special trip for more. You can also plan out birthday or holiday gifts well ahead of time, so that you can keep an eye out for a good deal.

While it may take a bit of effort, organizing your life allows you to use your time more efficiently and to take better advantage of your finances. Not only that, but the more thought-out your budget or schedule is, the less you will worry about them. There are many tools designed to help keep you organized, including all kinds of helpful apps for mobile devices.

Designing Your Own Organizing System

By reading my blog you are taking a step closer to getting your home and your life more organized. Have you been feeling the clutter in your life is getting out of control and more chaotic? Do you waste a lot of valuable time searching for items around your house? I know for myself, even with being home so much more throughout last year during the Pandemic, I feel like I don’t have enough time in the day to get things done like I used to in the past. I think a lot of the reason is because I am cooking even more now throughout the whole day, which means more meal preparation and clean up time afterwards. 

It seems like before the Pandemic, I had more of a consistent routine daily/weekly schedule. Do you ever think how much better your daily life would be if your house was really organized? I have read so many wonderful books and articles about organization throughout the past several years. 

Sometimes it is easy for life to seem to get somewhat out of control, such as with all of the changes in 2020. You may feel overwhelmed with so many daily responsibilities to accomplish, without enough time for you to relax a bit. You may even begin to feel anxious and depressed about the situation. 

Maybe you actually started to spend money on shelving units, bins and containers, hoping to bring order to counteract the chaos. Don’t lose hope or motivation. You can turn your situation around. Start with a small, manageable project that won’t take too much time. Be consistent and keep going with this reasonable project until it is completed. It could be cleaning out and organizing one kitchen cabinet or drawer. Successfully finishing smaller tasks will help to build your confidence to tackle larger projects. 

It is very important to understand that organizing is not all about throwing things out, but about identifying what is important to you, prioritizing and maintaining access to what you routinely need. Clutter control and finding the ideal storage area for your individual items are important keys to good organization. Home organization requires patience and consistent efforts. However, the end results are so rewarding.

By learning helpful organizing skills and techniques, you can begin to restore order and balance in your life. Organizing your home and cleaning may provide comforting, peaceful order to your life. 

When families collect too much stuff, the unnecessary clutter can interfere with the tranquility and calmness of the home environment. Too much clutter can actually cause feelings of despair and frustration. Clutter takes up a lot of precious space in your home that could be used much more efficiently.

One of the first things I learned when I was studying to become a professional organizer was the major importance of assigning everything in your house a specific place or “home” so that you will know exactly where to find that item in the future when you are searching for it. This is a good habit to teach all of your individual family members.

You could start in your foyer/entryway area of your house and place a small basket or dish to hold your keys. A larger basket set on an entryway table could temporarily hold library or school books, so they don’t get lost and remain quick and easy to find. A coat rack could nicely hold your seasonal coat and purse. 

I know you can think of several areas throughout your house for organized storage of various items. In the bedroom you can use drawer dividers for socks and tiny items. I have found useful, multi-purpose ottomans to store many things, such as seasonal throw blankets in my bedroom. They are also handy to store excess books. 

In my own closet, if I find clothing that I haven’t worn for a year or is no longer my size, I decide if I want to sell or donate those items or store them. I use slim color coded hangers to display only the clothing that is currently my size and that I plan to actually wear often.

One thing I routinely do with my kitchen items is to try to donate a small appliance at the time that I purchase an upgraded model. I have a small kitchen with limited counter space. I do a lot of cooking every day, so I try to prioritize things carefully in my kitchen. It takes a decent amount of time, but I need to really maintain order inside my small kitchen cabinets for adequate storage purposes.

I find that my dining room table can easily get cluttered with excess grocery supplies or with mail/bills, etc. It definitely is a fabulous habit to keep your kitchen and dining room table clean and free of all clutter. Hopefully, you may have a spare desk or even a dedicated cart of some kind to keep your mail and bills, along with your writing supplies, calendars, notebook and menu planners. 

I keep at least three boxes in the house labeled the following:

1.) Donate

2.) Sell

3.) Put Away

Then when I straighten out rooms throughout the week, it makes it easier to keep things tidy and organized.

There a few things to consider when you are deciding to donate items, such as:

1.) Have you used the item in the past year?

2.) Do you have duplicate items?

3.) Have you upgraded to a newer model?

4.) Are you holding onto the item just for sentimental value?

Part of organizing is deciding what is important to you and finding an appropriate place for your items, so your home can be maintained in an easy manner. You will reap the benefits of a calm, happy, “clutter-free” home environment. Hopefully, you will have more available quality time to spend enjoying your favorite things and more relaxation. Organizing is not about throwing out a lot of household items or buying lots of storage containers.

Don’t feel guilty for accumulating a lot of stuff over the years. Developing a unique smart organizing system that will work for you and your whole family will certainly help you maintain your household.

To create a lasting, successful organizing solution, make your system fit your personality so you feel comfortable with your home surroundings. Create neat order, clear surfaces, simplify your life by designing your own organizing system unique for you and your family!

Step-By-Step Goals For Organizing Your House

The truth is you can really increase your productivity a great deal by simply organizing your belongings around your home and office. Here are some tools to help you when first starting on your goal to organize your life. It is so important to develop a plan. There is nothing that is more potent to achieving your goals than having a specific plan to start off. 

A lot of people set far too broad goals when first embarking on any area of their life. In order for your plan to succeed, you need to have realistic, precise goals that are well-defined and written out. It is a good habit to set long-term and short-term goals. For instance, your long-term goal could be getting your whole home completely organized in a year's time. Your short-term goal could be getting one room in order within a month. 

After you have your goals in mind, write them down on paper and put that paper in a place you can view it often. Maybe you may want to use a planner notebook or a digital app. Knowing a target in your head is not enough; it needs to be in a place where you can view it often and constantly motivate you to achieve your goals. 

Finally, you need to determine the reason why you want something. It may not be enough to simply want to get organized. You need to know why you have this desire. Without wanting something whole-heartedly, it will be harder to achieve it. 

While the above tips may seem simple, it is incredible how many people set out to achieve a target without knowing what they want to get done. The simplest and yet strongest force to achieving your goals is knowing where you are going and why you are going in that direction. Follow these tips to help you get organized and enjoy the process!

Planning Baby Steps For Getting Your Home Organized

You can increase your productivity dramatically by simply organizing your belongings in your home. I will describe important tools to help you when deciding on your goals to organize your life. 

The first major step is to create a plan. There is nothing that is more essential to achieving your goals than having a good plan. Often times, people set nonrealistic goals when first embarking on changing any area of their life.   

In order for your organizing plan to work successfully you need to have understandable, realistic goals that are individualized and written out. It is a good idea to set long and short-term goals. For example, your long-term goal could be getting your total home organized in one year's time. Your short-term goal could be getting one room in order within a month. 

After you have your goals defined, write them down on paper and put that paper in a place where you can view it often throughout the week. This should easily motivate you to achieve your goals.

Lastly, you need to determine why you want your house to be organized. It is helpful for you to know why you have this desire. 

While the above ideas may seem simplistic, it is amazing how many people set out to achieve positive changes in life without knowing what they specifically want to get done. The simplest and strongest force to achieving your goals is knowing where you are going and the reasons why you are going in that direction. Hopefully, if you follow these tips you will organize your life better than you ever thought possible.

Positive Benefits of Home Organization and Decluttering Your House

I would like to begin by telling you a little information about myself. I am a Registered Nurse and I also earned by diploma in medical transcription.

I have several years of nursing experience and I even had the wonderful opportunity to write and teach a few online medical assisting courses on the junior college academic level.

However, I have always had a great passion for organizing my house. I studied many resources about home organization. There is so much helpful information to learn. I decided to continue to pursue my interest in this field. I studied online and now I am a trained Professional Organizer. I successfully completed a Professional Organizing program and I enjoyed my training very much. 

Now that you are a little more familiar with my training, we will get onto our topic of decluttering the house. I would like to emphasize that I do not believe there is just "one" successful method to organize and declutter your home. 

I think it is extremely important for you to educate yourself about home organization and decluttering the house and decide on specific "organizing systems" that will work well for your individual lifestyle and family. Always remember that good organizational habits can be learned.

Organizing Tips to Keep Your House Tidy Everyday

Does this happen to you? Do you waste precious time trying to find what you’re looking for? Are you sometimes late for work because you can’t find your car keys? Setting up some useful organizing systems throughout your home can make your everyday routine run smoothly and efficiently. These tips about keeping your home orderly will help you to save time and keep you more organized and productive. 

Get into the good habit of keeping your items in a place that makes sense. For example, you can use a decorative basket or two on a table by your entryway to keep your outgoing mail, school books or book-bags that are needed for the next day after the homework is done. One basket could be used just for hats, scarves and gloves during the winter months. You can also keep your car keys in a dish by the front door. It is nice to have a coat rack and umbrella holder by the entrance too. This will save you time in the morning because you won’t be running around trying to gather what you need for the day.

Many pet owners have a cute area by their front or back door organized with a special basket to hold their dog’s supplies, such as their lease, doggy coat and a few treats.

I like to set up a central command center near the kitchen on my desk to keep my everyday daily planner notebook, pens, pencils and extra paper. I keep a large calendar on my desk to write down all appointments and special events, including upcoming holiday plans. 

Along with my kitchen command center, I have a bill paying set-up that includes a special caddy with a handle to hold my envelopes, stamps, tape, address book and calculator. Some people use a small rolling cart for their mail/bill paying supplies and daily planners, etc. A rolling cart can be conveniently moved around to different areas of the house as needed. 

I like to use small rolling carts for my frequently used baking supplies in my pantry/kitchen area. Carts can also come in handy to store excess pantry goods, if you have an overflow. A cute little decorative cart could be used to display a nice variety of your coffee and tea items near your dining room for entertaining. If you have some extra space in your bathroom, you could use a pretty rolling cart to display/store your favorite beauty essentials, such as cosmetic supplies and hair curling sets, etc.

It is great to find the correct “home” or place for your all of your items. When you are finished using something, it will become easy for you to put the item back in the proper storage space when you are done. This is a good practice for every room in your house. It is often easier to straighten up as you go, instead of spending hours over your weekend off cleaning the whole house. 

You can pick up the newspapers and magazines when you are done reading them and put them in your recycle bin instead of leaving them on the coffee table. It is a great habit to load the dishwasher after every meal instead of just once a day after dinner. 

Did you ever bring home a real big order of groceries and end up leaving several of the canned and boxed items in the grocery bags on your kitchen table for the next day or two until you had more time to put everything away? Get into the good habit of putting all of your groceries away rather than leaving them on the kitchen table for a few days. How can you keep track of what food you do or don’t have if last week’s groceries are still in the bags? If things are neat and tidy in your kitchen area, it becomes a pleasant environment to enjoy a meal instead of a constant reminder of projects or jobs that need to be done.

Another area that is important to keep clean and organized on a daily basis is the bathroom. Keep your bathroom tidy everyday. You can wipe the sink and vanity after you wash your face or use your cosmetics. Then you can put away your toiletries and hair products. Doing these small things routinely as you go everyday keeps the bathroom cleaner, especially if you have unexpected guests visit at any time. 

One easy way to keep your bedroom looking fresh and nice is to make your bed every morning and hang up any clean clothes that might be lying around. Remember to keep your closets organized. If your closet is overflowing with clothes, you can’t see what you have. You can keep out of season clothes in the spare bedroom closet or in a protective storage system. Keep shoes in boxes or organized on shoe racks. It would be nice to donate any clothing that no longer fits or if you haven’t worn the items in the past season. There are probably many people who would be grateful to use the clothes.

Remember to finish one project before starting another. I have a neighbor who has started to clean and organize their basement, but never finished the project and is now working on their garage. Their house is constantly in a state of disarray and they never manage to get any project completed because it’s too overwhelming and stressful.

In summary, just by taking these small steps every day to keep your house organized will help your home to stay clutter-free and tidy. This should also help you to be less stressed and more productive.

Positive Advantages of Being Organized at Your Home or Office

People who have an organized home and office seem to be less stressed and more motivated in life. They are usually productive with their work. Business clients and associates may be impressed with the nice surroundings of your office. 

Organized individuals routinely store their items in the most appropriate places in their homes and they may put things back when they are done using them to keep things in order. This helps to keep the home or office tidy. When items are organized, they will be easy to find when needed. You may be more efficient when doing your household chores and you may save valuable time.

You could reward yourself and use this precious time on things you truly enjoy such as writing, walking, or spending time with friends and family. When your home is decluttered and organized, you may feel worry-free and confident when your friends come over to visit. 

The important thing is that you should have more time to focus and take good care of yourself and concentrate on a healthy environment and lifestyle. It takes dedicated time to routinely prepare nutritious meals everyday. You may be able to schedule some time for appropriate exercise or daily relaxation time, such as watching a good movie or listening to your favorite music.

It may be easier in general to focus and concentrate when you are organized. You can make specific short-term and long-term goals for your future plans. It is a good idea to periodically re-evaluate your goals and update your plans accordingly. Don't forget to write down your daily "To Do" list every evening in preparation for the next day. It is nice to be able to take great pride in your new organized way of life and everyday routine. 

You may possibly be able to save a little money once you are organized because you will realize exactly what items that you have at home when you go shopping. In summary, good organizational skills can lead to many positive benefits in life.

Keeping a family calendar out where everyone can see it and has access to it can help reduce your stress and keeps everyone in the know about what is going on this week. If you find that you often have a lot going on each week and usually forget one or more task or event you really need to use a family calendar.

That way when something comes up and you go to check your calendar you have a clear picture of what is happening and when so you can better schedule yourself and the rest of your family. You can even take it a step further and color code your calendar by importance of event or by person.

Write Things Down

A lot of times we forget important things until the last minute. One way to improve your memory and better organize your life is to write down important things like grocery lists, errands that you need to run or appointments that you need to keep. The act of taking time out of your day to actually write down what you need to remember makes you far more likely to remember it.

Clean Your Refrigerator

You may not know it, but there is likely something going to waste in your refrigerator right now. When is the last time you cleaned out your refrigerator or pantry? If you take the time to do a quick clean of your refrigerator, no more than 15 minutes each week, you will waste less of your groceries and have an easier time deciding what to have for dinner. By regularly tossing the things that are expired you keep a mental inventory of what is on hand and what is not. This may be one of the most important organizing tips for your kitchen.

Lay Things Out The Night Before

Often times when people wake up in the morning they are running late. To make your life a little easier lay your things out for the next day the night before. Choose your outfit and set it out so that you can easily get dressed without wasting time standing in front of your closet for half an hour. Have the kids gather their home work and books and put their back packs by the door so they are ready in the morning and nothing important gets left behind. This one simple change in routine can save you lots of stress in the morning so you can start your day off on a positive note.

Using these simple tips to help organize your life can help save you time on a regular basis.

Hopefully, you may be able to relax more. You life may possibly begin to feel less stressful or chaotic when you become more organized and balanced in life.

Once you are organized, you may find that you have more time for yourself. You may feel more productive and efficient with your work. When you have an appropriate place for your items, you will be less likely to waste time trying to find things and you should find yourself having more time for yourself and the things you truly like to do.

You may also find that you have more time for your friends and family members. An organized person may be more likely to schedule in leisure time for friends and family. You may feel much better about your surroundings, once you begin organizing your house.

Being disorganized may result in embarrassment. You may feel anxious when friends visit your house and happen to see clutter out of place.

By getting organized, you may feel wonderful about your home environment. Hopefully, you will feel confident and secure to be able to invite friends to your house without feeling stressed or overwhelmed.

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