Quick Organizing Tip For Today: Don’t Use Excuses

 

I do not want to use common excuses for not organizing my home such as: not enough time, or I don't want to get rid of any items that I spent good money for initially.

Tips For Quick Organizing Projects

If you have 15 minutes to spare, you may organize the following:

1. Kitchen shelf

2. Desk drawer

3. Purse

4. Bathroom cabinet

5. Bookshelf

Declutter:

1. Keep flat surfaces free of clutter in your home. 

2. Do the dishes.

3. Make the bed in the morning.

4. Keep the kitchen sink clean.

If I am short on time, I do not think of the concept "all or nothing" in regards to my plan for decluttering my home. I can spend at least 15 minutes straightening up a small area in my house.

If you have 20 minutes to spare, maybe you can just organize one desk drawer, one kitchen shelf, or even your handbag.

I like to use a purse organizer inside of my handbag to organize my items such as keys, daily planning book, sunglasses and pens.

If I have 15 minutes, I may have time to organize my wallet. 

If I have 15 minutes during the day, I may wipe the bathroom and kitchen counters clean. 

Faithful Bible Verse For Today

Come to me, all you who toil and are burdened, and I will give you rest! Take my yoke on you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble, and you will find rest for your souls; for my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

Tips For Decluttering Projects

If you are not sure about keeping an item in your house or donating it, put the item away in a box for a month and see if you really need it.  

Items that help me when I declutter the house: clear storage containers, label maker, and portable folding table for sorting and organizing.

I routinely keep one container in my home to place any items that I find throughout my rooms that I would like to donate.

I have a designated storage bin located in a central area for each family member, so they can place their items into their bin as they walk through the door.

I am thinking about getting rid of one item in my home when I need to bring in a new item, such as when I purchase a new piece of clothing.

I use five clear plastic boxes during the sorting process when I declutter a room. I label them keep, donate, sell, throw away and belongs in another room.

You may want to get storage containers after you declutter your house. You will know the correct size and how many containers you need.

It is a good habit to pick up any misplaced items as you walk through the rooms in your home and place them back where they belong.  

You can gather similar items in separate piles when you are organizing to see how many "like" items that you have. Then you can decide what to keep, toss, or donate.

Tips For Organizing Projects

You may not feel overwhelmed with decluttering your home if you break down large organizing projects into smaller workable steps.

As I organize each specific room in my house I try to keep "like" items together in each category, if possible.

I may miss a few large decorative items that I have decided to get rid of, so I am going to take a photo of them to keep for myself.

I am thinking about some useful items for possible garage sale preparation, which may include: clothing racks, pricing stickers, masking tape, tables with nice tablecloths, yard sale signs and boxes.

Professional organizers may create individual organizing "systems" for easy and efficient home maintenance.

I recently purchased clear plastic shoebox size containers and a label maker for my organizing projects. 

Faithful Bible Verse For Today

“Though you have never seen him, yet you love him; though you do not even now see him, yet you believe in him, and exalt with a triumphant happiness too great for words, as you receive the reward of your faith in the salvation of your souls!” 1 Peter 1:8-9  

Tips For Your Organizing Goals

Having too much clutter in the home can take up too much space, time and energy to keep all of the items maintained and in order.

I should have more time to take good care of myself and concentrate on a healthy environment and lifestyle when my house is organized and uncluttered.

My organizing goals: getting rid of items that I no longer want or need and properly storing things that I want to keep, so I can easily find them.

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

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.
