Easy Home Organization Tips and Tools

1. Put things Back Where You Found Them-

Have a "home" for every item, and make sure it is put back if it is removed. Always put things back in their place when you are done with them and especially before you move onto something else. This will not allow things to pile up and look overwhelming to sort through later on.

2. Snail Mail-

Deal with mail as soon as you walk in the door with it. Immediately toss or shred anything you don't need such as credit card offers and other junk mail! Take care of any bills you receive right away so you eliminate the risk of losing it or forgetting it and ending up with late charges. (FACT: 23% of adults say they pay bills late (& thus incur fees) because they lose them! National Association of Professional Organizers)

3. Don't Let Dishes Pile Up-

After dinner take the time to clean up the table and do the dishes, make sure everyone helps out so it will go a lot faster. This should be especially easy if you have a dishwasher, but don't forget to run it before you go to bed! You will be amazed at how much better your kitchen will look and feel without a pile of dirty dishes.

4. Dirty Clothes-

Have a place for everybody to put their dirty laundry (not on the floor!), and space permitting have them put it in designated pile (whites, colors, etc.) to save time later on. Also, do the laundry in smaller segments when one pile gets big enough for a load to avoid Laundry Overload later on!

On a side note, sort through your clothes and get rid of or donate anything you don't wear anymore to a local charity. This includes clothes that are no longer in fashion, no longer fit, or clothes you haven't worn in at least a year. (FACT: We wear 20% of the clothes we own 80% of the time. The rest hangs there, just in case. National Association of Professional Organizers)

5. Enjoy Your Clutter Free Home-

Light some candles and sit down to watch a movie or read a book. Enjoy your new functional and calming environment. Not only is your home now more immaculate, it is far more calming and even healthier. You can do this, and once you see how much more relaxing your home is you will never want to go back to how you were living before. Who knows, maybe you'll invite your friends and family over for a get together now and be proud not ashamed!

One cause of home organization problems is small spaces. When you have a small space, it is easy to become disorganized because you often have more stuff than places to put it.

However, this is actually an easier problem to fix, with a little planning. You can install shelving along the walls to maximize the use of the space. You can install drawers under beds and couches, or use small, thin containers and slide them underneath the furniture.

The biggest cause of organization problems in a child's room is a lack of places for toys to go.

One toy box for all toys is not reasonable. The child will most likely want the toy that is at the bottom of the box, and continue to empty it onto the floor and scatter it throughout the house until it is found.

This can be avoided by replacing the single large toy box with shelving, smaller boxes, and Ziplock bags for smaller toys.

Once you understand the causes of your disorganization and create solutions, keeping your home organized will soon become easy and smooth, rather than a life long chore.
