Staying organized around the house is to keep things right so you do not have to search for everything. Organizing your home saves you a lot of time and effort. Here are some simple ways:-
- Observe what things pile up in your house and where they cluster, and come up with a place nearby that becomes the official home where those things reside.
- Designate a basket for you and your partner for incoming mails, bills, and receipts.
- Create a working folders for discount coupons, invitations, and directions, and other time-sensitive papers that clutter your counters.
- Keep frequently used items in places where you can reach them without struggling, and store them close to the place they will be needed.
- Have drawer dividers for socks, underwear, lingerie, and tiny items, to keep them separated and organized.
- Hang hooks for your keys and purse at a place convenient and safe for you so that you can hang them up immediately.
- Get rid of your junk drawers, or limit yourself to just one that you clear out once a month.
- Store emergency supplies together in one cabinet like candles, a flashlight, extra batteries, matches, first-aid-kit, poison control kit & a fire extinguisher.
- Above all, put everything back where it belongs the moment you stop using it - whether magazines to basket or rack, bills and wrapping paper and ribbons to your gift wrapping center.
- To get rid of clutter or junk, tackle one room at a time, instead of trying to organize all the rooms at a time.
