Don’t Be Afraid to Experiment

Perfection– while we all strive to attain it, it is often not a reasonable goal.  When you are getting organized don’t be afraid to try a few things before settling on the  final solution for your organizing dilemma. It can take some successes and failures to really get the system that is right for you. Don’t give up if the first try isn’t homerun perfect.

You can do it– stick with it!

Kits

Kits are a great way to buy and store items because they are usually compact and hold exactly what you need.  They are easy to take with you, clearly labeled and are pretty easy to see what is missing.  What kits could you use to make your life easier? 

  • first aid kit                                  
  • emergency car kit                      
  • earthquake kit
  • manicure/nail kit
  • tool kit
  • travel kit for kids in the car
  • gardening kit
  • shoe kit
  • Baby care kit
  • craft kit
  • repair kit
  • travel kit
  • sewing kit 

Consider making a kit for activities you do often.

Plan for Guests

Need a kick in the pants to get going on your organizing and                   de–cluttering?  Send out invitations to have a party, dinner or inviting family to visit.  Nothing will   motivate you like having the deadline of your mother-in-law coming for a visit.   Even if it is just a play date for your kids– knowing that someone is coming over will help to motivate you.

Dressing Up Shoeboxes

Money is getting tighter, so finding ways to recycle and reuse are more helpful than ever. Old shoeboxes are a great way to organize everything from office supplies to tax receipts to computer cords. But they aren’t usually very attractive. Consider wrapping your shoeboxes like you would a present to give them a new lease on life. You can use shelving paper, fabric, gift wrap or left over wallpaper. Attached a nice label to the front and you have an instant makeover for your storage boxes that will even match your décor.
