How to get rid of clutter and feel organized

April 21st, 2008

If your cluttered home is making you feel cluttered emotionally and physically,  Then organizing your home will give you peace of mind. Firstly take things one step at a time. Don’t do to much at once, look at starting with one room at a time and if that is to bigger task then look at part of that room.

Get armed and ready with your three boxes, to keep, to give away and to throw away. Make sure the things that you keep are worth keeping.  And don’t keep things for the sake of keeping things….Just because you got it for free, doesn’t mean you need to keep it.

With the items that you give away, you have a couple of choices.  First, you could simply donate to places like Salvation Army, Oxfam, or Purple Heart. If things are in good condition, you could consider trying to sell it at a consignment shop, have a  garage sale or put it on E bay.

In the “to keep” box  should be quality items that you will use and have use for. Don’t just save something for the memories, (There is always going to be that exception to this rule) an item that your mother, grandmother, or a dear friend gave to you. And if you decide to give the items away, take a photo of it somewhere in the house and put it in an album as a memory.

Once you’ve got everything into the boxes, get rid of the gear that you have decided not to keep.  Label the items from the give away pile and call a place that accepts donations. If you’ve decided to sell or swap things, arrange that as well.  Try to get this done in the following week or so, as if it stays around the house, there is the chance that it will end up back in the house again, cluttering things again.

Now all you should have is the box of gear you are keeping.  You will still have to organize what is in the box so don’t just put it in a cupboard, or  where you found them. Organize things into drawers, cupboards, closets, or containers. Similar things should go together.  Put all office and school supplies in one closet, put tools in another. Buying clear containers is the best because you will be able to see what’s inside. If you can’t, don’t despair, just label the box, you’ll save yourself a lot of time and effort looking for things in the future.

Try to go to work through your home at least once a year to 18 months to keep things at bay and well organized.

Now that you have done a fantastic job, you can admire your work!
