I have been trying to get organized for so long now and I just can't seem to get to the point where I no longer feel the need to de-clutter. I have been searching online and in magazines on the best way to do it and here is what I found. I will post some before and after pics once I get to a point where I can say YES I DID IT!! (praying this day comes soon). My plan is to take my time and be done by June 21st which is the beginning of summer. Any ideas or suggestions on the best way to get organized and stay that way??
I found this website to be helpful: http://zenhabits.net/27-great-tips-to-keep-your-life-organized/
I also found this info online:
GET RID OF IT IF…
1. …you didn’t wear it this past winter, because there’s a pretty good chance you’re not going to wear it next winter either.
2. …you don’t love how it looks/feels on you
3. …you’ve been mistakenly asked if you are pregnant while wearing it
4. …you often try it on, but then change before leaving the house
5. …you look to old or young in it {age appropriate clothing applies to adults too!}
Since my current bedroom is small I found this to be helpful
1. We purged:
We got rid of EVERYTHING we don’t need, use, want, or love. We sold so much before we moved, and gave a lot away too.
2. We utilized every space:
We found storage containers that fit under our bed, inside our closets, on our bookshelves, etc. We tried to use every space without over cluttering {we still have to live here}
3. We put function before beauty:
Our room is not that attractive, but it works for now. It’s clean, it’s organized, and it’s functional. We can do what we need to do without feeling cramped or crowded. And while I know there are plenty of ways to create a beautiful AND organized space, our priorities were simply to create a space we could live in temporarily — and to be perfectly honest, I just don’t care right now!
