One of my new years resolutions is to get organized and stay organized throughout the year. I can't tell you how much time I have wasted looking for a needed document in a pile of paperwork, or my favorite jeans in my closet, or even my keys in my purse! My worst problem is that I spend all this time getting organized and then in a matter of a few minutes or days it can be all disorganized. The past few days I have been deep organizing my home. So I thought I would share some tips to getting and staying organized that I have applied and hope to continue to apply throughout the year.
Find a place for everything- this is the first step, assigning a place for everything and remembering this place. I try to keep things near where I would need them.
Return it to its place- once you are done using the item put it back. This part is exactly where I struggle, specially if I am in a hurry. so this year I am making conscious effort to put things right back even if I am in a hurry.
Add storage- include more baskets, boxes, tupperware or anything that can help you keep items that you use together. It doesn't only looks better it will help you find things easier.
File system- don't let the paper pile grow up, create a file system where you can easily file incoming mail and other paperwork. Make sure you develop a system that will help you find these documents easily once you need them.
Label- I can easily forget where I put things after I "organized" them so this year Im labeling everything! :-)
these are my top tips, what are your organization rituals, do you have a tip to getting organized?
