A Few Good Organizing Tips and Tricks 101 to get Organized

A Few Good Organizing Tips and Tricks

Multi-tasking
Begin today by combining some activities such as: 1) exercise and watching TV, 2)
flipping through magazines or catalogs while talking on the telephone, 3) filing your
finger nails while waiting for an appointment, 4) watering your favorite plants while
clothes are in the dryer.

Organize your kids
Design your kid’s room so that they can keep it up themselves. Show your kids how to
maintain their own rooms and reward them on their achievement in doing so. Give them
their own household responsibilities and chores and then offer them a form of allowance.
This will teach them to be organized.

Organize your clothes
Hang clothes in the closet by type, arranging similar items together, and by use. Grouping
them by color within the category will make it easier to mix and match your garments.
Store out-of-season clothes in old suitcases, drawers, garment bags or trunks. Keep only
current season’s coats and jackets in your coat closet. Use closet organizers and you will
create more space in your closet.

Organize your kitchen
Here are good ways to add new space to your kitchen: 1) Install smaller wall shelves to
hold canisters and small appliances. 2) Store away (or give away) appliances or
kitchenware that is no longer being used. 3) Put shelf organizers inside cabinets with high
shelf space. 4) Put a pegboard on walls to hang light or smaller items. 5) Use plastic
drawer organizers under your kitchen sink to make better use of wasted space.

Organize your bedroom
Add comfort to your bedroom! Make a nifty bedside area by keeping those things you
need close at hand in either a night table or handy caddy. This is used to hold items like
notepaper, pens, reading glasses and whatever crafts items you like to do in the bedroom.
Hang wall shelves on any useable wall space. This will create more storage space for
things that decorate the room, or that serve a needed function.

The more you sort through your personal belongings and find a new home for them, the
more free space you will be opening up and this is the height of being organized!
