How to organize your stuff how to#

My scatterbrained side tends to leave materials and half-finished projects lying around everywhere! I work hard to create solid organizational systems, though, so if I want to maintain them, I have to commit to returning items to their place when I'm done. Once everything is organized and back in place, the only way that it will stay that way is if I get in the habit of putting things back where they go as soon as I am finished with them.

In step 5 I talked about making sure everything has a specific spot. Train yourself to put things back in their spot. It won't happen overnight, but if you chip away at the clutter little by little, before you know it you'll start feeling organized! Who knew?!ħ. Then they can move on to the next area and the next. When I get emails from readers that say 'I feel so unorganized and don't know where to start!' I tell them to pick one space in their home (It doesn't have to be a whole room it can be something as small as one drawer!) and use the following steps to declutter and organize it. It is a constant struggle around here. With two crazy boys running around, this place can feel a little like a madhouse when it doesn't have some semblance of organization, so I'm always working to improve and tweak systems, get rid of clutter, and keep away as much chaos as possible!Īs I've spent years learning about organization and trying different methods in my home, I've created a simple system that I can use when I go about organizing just about any area in our house.
