No matter the size of it, the home organization solutions job that you will be tackling, is fixable. This isn’t a task that can be resolved in one day, however. Understand that home organizing is a long-term project. Think small steps. Then get a sheet of paper and begin the rules that are below.

1 – Begin With a Home Organization Goal

Create your de-cluttering goals and after that, prioritize these goals.

List all the areas that you would like to organize then order what areas need the most organizing help. One reason to choose one area instead of another could be because it is a room that is most used, it is a room seen first by guest to your home, or it is an area that you feel could contribute the biggest difference to your own comfort. Write down the numbers, by priority, next to each room.

Then, on a separate sheet of paper, write down your first room. Write down every one of the sections of the room that need to be organized. These sections should be relatively simple. As an example, good projects for your chosen area could be: under the bed, on a work surface, a sock drawer, and so on. As you complete these tasks, you will proudly be able to mark off each of these baby steps.

Don’t forget, neither of the goals are required to be completed in a day or even a week. Just focus on one project at a time. Keeping things simple is the fastest road to home organization.

2 – Get Rid of the Clutter

Clear all of the stuff out of the listed project area for the room.

If your first project area is the underwear drawer, then this job simply needs you to purge everything out of that section. Done with step two.

3 – Section Now Needs to be Sorted

Separate the stuff out of the section that you are working on.

Make different piles for ‘trash’, ‘belongs in a different area’, and ’stays here’. Note that:

* If something hasn’t been used by you in six months, it goes in the garbage pile
* If you use the item frequently, you need to keep it nearest to where you use it.
* If you don’t use the item a lot or just use it seasonally, then it can be put away elsewhere that is harder to retrieve, like on a top shelf or bottom drawer.

4 – Reduce the Amount of Items

Just for now, remove all the stuff that don’t belong in the section.

If you have items in the ‘garbage’ pile, put it in the trash. If you have items in the ‘goes somewhere else’ pile, get it away from your section (this includes items that only need to go in a drawer below). What is left over are only the belongings that belong in the section that you are organizing.

5 – Making the Storage Solution

Prepare a solution for maintaining organization for the section that is being organized.

The area you are organizing needs to have a storage solution in place that performs for you. Get organizers that will have you stay organized. If it is a drawer, dividers with labels may be the system that works and has the longest effect. If it is a shelf, dividers and labels might work, and so on. (Note the dividers and labels theme). The idea is to ensure that you feel most at ease using the the new organized area and that it becomes more difficult to place the articles in the wrong section.

6 – Get Things Put Back

Now you need to put your belongings that go in that spot, back into the section, using the organizer you put in place.

You can now mark this section off your list and either move-on with another section or wait until the next day to do the next section……..just don’t take too long.
