January Organizing Tip
With a New Year’s resolution to get organized and winter to keep you inside more, it’s a great time of the year to get organized! Here are some tips to help you start the organizing process:
- Set aside a specific amount of time to organize. For example, set a timer for an hour and stop at the end of the time. Organize for an hour four times a week.
- Choose one area of a room to organize, such as the closet, the desk, the pantry, rather than trying to organize the whole room at once.
- Declutter in a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction around the room rather than going from one side of the room to another.
- Make goals and reward yourself when you meet them. For example, the goal could be to organize the bedroom by the end of a month. The first weekend you will organize the closet, the second weekend you will conquer the dressers, etc. If you have organized the bedroom by the end of the month, you get to have lunch at your favorite restaurant.
- Get assistance from friends or a professional organizer if you have difficulty getting started or staying on task.
This year can be your best and most organized year yet with just a little bit of effort!
