Organization Tips

  1. Before you organize a space, you have to reimagine it. Remove everything that currently lives there, and then take a hard look at whether each thing deserves to go on taking up space in your life.
  2. Look at your newly empty space and the things that you really need to live in that space, and decide how you want it to look in order to make your life easier. In other words, it’s not the stuff that dictates how you live–YOU dictate how you live!
  3. A crucial part of staying organized is the understanding that you don’t have to keep stuff in your life just because it showed up somewhere along the way. Make a commitment not to beat yourself up over the things you decide to let go from your life. Take photos of stuff you want to remember but don’t have space for. Remind yourself as often as necessary that you aren’t defined by your things.
  4. Children’s artwork can be tricky, because it’s also sentimental. Good thing there’s an app for that. Artkive lets you hang onto digital copies of your children’s artwork without having to store piles of papers in a drawer or file somewhere.
  5. Believe it or not, buying matching hangers can have a huge impact on your closet {and your organization level!}. Having matching hangers in your closet is a good visual reminder that your stuff is worth taking care of.
  6. Purge excess papers monthly. You really don’t need to hold onto credit card statements from 5 or 10 years ago. Just let that stuff go!
  7. Focus on the feeling that comes from being organized. In other words, organization brings more peace and calm into your life because you know where things are, you know what to do with stuff, and everything has a place. When the task of decluttering seems overwhelming, remember how great organization feels and let that feeling motivate you to keep up on things.
