It is very common when organizing to find something you want to keep because it holds a special memory. However, when trying to decide where it should go, people often get stuck. They don’t necessarily want to display the item but are really unclear of where it should go!
Solution: Memorabilia Boxes
This is a great solution because it allows items like old stuff animals, yearbooks, travel memorabilia, things like that to have a home.
You can organize the memorabilia boxes by each person in the family. Depending on the age of the person will determine how many boxes or bins you may have.
I have a bin that is more designated towards my high school and college years. I also have a bin designated to my husband and I which contains wedding memorabilia, old cards, pictures etc.
I have a bin for each of my children. This is a great place to store items from when they were babies and young children. You can organize it by year of age or by grade in school.
The options are endless when it comes to how to categorize your memorabilia bins, the point is to have a place for these items to go. No longer the days of wondering what and where the ticket stubs from your favorite concert should go!
You can use any kind of organizing bin, clear or solid, depending on preference. I do recommend labeling the bins, so you are not wasting time opening them up and figuring out who’s who. You could even color code the bins to recognize which one belongs to whom.
Knowing you have a system will make organizing a lot easier!
Happy Organizing!
Getting organized is a challenge for a lot of people, and this is especially true for my ADD/ADHD clients. They know what they need to do, they want to do it, but so many other things get in the way. It causes stress in many aspects of their lives.
