• It’s amazing what 5 minutes of organizing maintenance can do. Pick up clothes on the floor. Hang up the jackets in the closet, toss the junk mail. Maintenance is key to staying organized.
• Getting organized can be overwhelming. Start small and color in the lines. If you’re going to organize a junk drawer, don’t end up organizing the entire kitchen. Small wins eventually add up to big wins.
• Declutter, declutter, declutter. Half the battle is getting rid of all the stuff you don’t really need.
• Identify the problem before creating the solution. You need to know what’s wrong before you can fix it.
• Make it personal. You probably won’t change your habits too much so make the solution work within how you live.
• Organizing a space does not mean it needs to look like a magazine cover. Organization is about function, not form.
• Think continuous improvements. Your first attempt may not always work. Keep adjusting until you get it right.
