When you are not organized at home, your life will suffer in all aspects. The stress and anxiety that comes from spending time and living in a messy environment will cause your performance to drop off at work and at home. Most people don’t realize it, but simply being organized and feeling in control is major way to relieve stress. Lots of people start to care and worry more about their organization techniques and habits at the request of their doctor.
Being organized is not an overnight decision or a simple process. It is a lifestyle that requires hard work and dedication, but will pay dividends in the long run. Being organized is something that you should strive for in all parts of life, whether your home life or office. After all, neat and clean isn’t a trait that comes with an on and off switch. As we continue, I will teach you some great organizational techniques for your home that will lead to you being happier, more successful and healthier. The only things you'll want to make sure you have are some inexpensive storage bins and wire shelving systems.
MAKE A REALISTIC PLAN ON HOW TO COMBAT CLUTTER
No matter where or how your organization and cleaning will begin, the first step is to make a plan on how to tackle this task. Whether you prefer drawing it out or simply closing your eyes and imagining it, you must have a plan. We’ve all heard the quote; “failing to plan is planning to fail.” Well that holds true in regard to your personal life and personal happiness.
After you imagine what this space should look like once it’s clean and organized, go through all of the junk that is currently there and see what you want to keep and what you can discard. Once you’ve got this part figured out you will know what supplies you will need to ensure that the area remains organized and free from clutter.
START IMPLEMENTING YOUR PLAN - THROW THINGS AWAY
Once you have decided what needs to stay and what needs to go, you can actually begin to implement what you have envisioned. Start out by making three piles; one for what you will keep, one for what you will be throwing away, and one for what you can donate to a local charitable organization that you like to support. These steps should be implemented and used for each space that needs some organizing help.
INSTALL SHELVES AND/OR CONTAINERS
After you’ve sorted your belongings into those three piles, cleaning and organizing will be a breeze. To begin organizing, I suggest you purchase some storage solutions that fit this particular area. You can purchase various sizes of shelves or plastic bins that would definitely help improve the look of the room while also helping to implement your organizational strategy. Use these storage solutions to always keep track of what is located where and ensure that the house never becomes a cluttered again.
When you follow the steps we mentioned above, you will immediately notice a change in your happiness and quality of life. You will actually look forward to coming home after a long day rather than dreading it. These simple and easy organization ideas will lead to reduced stress, improved relationships at home and increased productivity in everything you do.
