Staying Organized!
It’s not always an easy thing to do! Staying organized is always a work in progress. Just because you cleaned out the junk drawer once, does not mean it will stay that way! Everything you organize needs to have some attention drawn to it even after you did the initial sorting and organizing. I have never known anyone to only clean their home one time, the same goes with organizing, it is a constant thing we need to do to maintain our organized lifestyle.
A great way to stay organized is to build routines around your organizing tasks.
When you build a routine you are adding structure to your daily, weekly, and monthly upkeep. It takes the guessing out of when you are going to do a certain task. After a period of time the routine will become habit, and you will no longer think about what or when certain tasks need to be done.
Examples:
Closet Organization – At the beginning of every season, schedule a time in your calendar to go through your closet and donate any clothing you no longer wear, like or need.
Kitchen Organization – Prior to any grocery shopping, do a quick inventory of what you have in the refrigerator and pantry, this way you will no longer buy duplicate items.
Kitchen Organization – Clean out your refrigerator the night before you garbage comes.
Toys / Children Organization – Make a part of your daily routine to clean up the toys every day. This will keep the toy clutter at bay.
Laundry Organization – Set up a regular schedule of when the laundry is going to be done. In my home, it is on the weekends. For some homes it’s one load everyday, or maybe it’s certain kind of laundry on specific days. It takes the stress of when this chore will get done.
We could probably think of many more…
The point is to set up a regular routine around these tasks to ensure they get done and you maintain your organized lifestyle!
Happy Organizing!
