Need help to organise? Are you tired of living in a cluttered, disorganized home? Does the thought of tackling your mess leave you feeling overwhelmed and stressed? It’s time to take charge and get organized! We would all love our homes to look at tidy and beautiful as those on Pinterest—and the good news is, they can too. All you need is the right tools, tips, and tricks. Whether you need to organise a single room or your entire home, these seven steps will get you there in no time. Let’s get organized like a pro!
Step 1: Take Stock of What You Have
The first step to organise is to take stock of what you have. It’s always important to approach things like this in a systematic way. That begins with a plan. You’ll want to know where you’re starting and what you have to tackle to know how you’re going to go about it all. Knowing what you’ve got to start with will help you. With a plan of how you’re approaching things in this way, you’ll be off to a great start.
Step 2: Divide, Conquer and Organise
When organizing your home, it is best to start small and work up from there. Instead of tackling an entire room at once, focus on one area at a time until it is finished. This way, each project doesn’t seem so overwhelming and daunting; instead of looking at the big picture, just look at each step as its own mini-project! This will help make the job more manageable.
Step 3: Get Rid of Clutter
Once everything has been sorted out it is time for the hard part—getting rid of clutter! Donate items that are still usable but no longer needed or loved by family members; throw away anything that is broken or unusable; sell valuable items online or through garage sales; recycle any paper products such as old magazines and newspapers; shred documents containing sensitive information before disposing of them properly (or even better—digitize them!).
Step 4: Invest In Storage Solutions
Investing in storage solutions such as boxes, bins, shelves and drawers can help keep all your belongings neat and tidy. Consider buying stackable containers so they can be stacked on top of each other for maximum space-saving potential. Label the containers so you know exactly where everything goes when it’s time to put them away after use. Not only that, but definitely look into self storage solutions should you need them too. You don’t always have to throw things away if you can store them.
Step 5: Organsie Zones
Creating zones to organise within each room can also help keep things organized while making sure everything has its own designated place. For example, if you’re organizing a bedroom closet divide it into sections for clothing, shoes and accessories or if you’re organizing a kitchen designate areas for dishes, cookware, food storage containers, and so on. Doing this makes organizing easier since everything will be neatly tucked away in its own designated area instead of being scattered around the entire room making it difficult to find what you need when needed..
Step 6: Make A Schedule
Establishing a cleaning schedule will help ensure that your newly organized space stays clean and clutter-free over time. Designate certain days for dusting, vacuuming, sweeping, mopping, and so on. Doing this will save you from having to do an all-out deep clean every few weeks which would be overwhelming especially if the task seems daunting due to lack of organization. Additionally, create an efficient laundry system by separating whites colors lights and darks into individual baskets for washing drying folding putting away. This will save time energy and stress when doing laundry throughout the week.
Step 7: Keep Up with Maintenance
Finally, once everything is totally organized remember that maintaining organization requires regular upkeep. This includes regularly decluttering, donations, discarding expired items, wiping down surfaces regularly, wiping out refrigerator drawers discarding, unused electronics, and replacing worn-out towels as a few examples. Doing these small tasks consistently over time will help maintain order within each room so there’s no need to go through another major overhaul anytime soon.
Getting Your Home in Order This Year
With these seven simple steps anyone can become an organizational pro and organise things without breaking a sweat (or breaking the bank)! From making plans and sorting out clutter beforehand down to investing in storage and labelling items correctly afterwards—the key is taking things slowly but surely.
