It can be very hard to stay organized, but being organized can make life easier. How frustrating is it when you can't find what you are looking for?! So I am starting this blog to help give people ways to organized. Since we are creatures of habits and I don't want to change anyone here are some questions before getting organized.
1. What do you use regularly? For these things that are used daily put them in convenient places. Designate a specific spot for it. This will also help when cleaning because you are just putting everything back into its place.
2. What is your routine? The way you do your get-ready routine or laundry or cooking should influence how you organize. For example, if you hardly have time to cook then pots and pans don't need to be in a key location.
3. What is your organizational style? There are many ways to be organized and everyone's style is different. Do you create piles or file things? Electronic or paper preferences? Is everything everywhere but you still can find things? Are there a few things that just don't seem to have a place?
4. How much space do you have? Not being organized should not be blamed on available space. Being organized is figure out the puzzle to the space you have available. Getting the right containers or bins can make a huge difference.
These four questions will help in assessing what your organizational needs are and where to begin. Two things to remember--everyone needs their own space to have things the way they want them, and you are allowed a "junk drawer".
