Today is Get Organized Day 🗃

I have always enjoyed organizing and creating a home for things. Even as a kid, I wanted bins and containers to store my things. 😆 #nerdalert

It’s oddly satisfying and calming when I know exactly where to find that thing and where to put it back.

One less thing to use your brain for, right?

Here are my top tips for simple organizing:

📎 Pick one space, drawer or zone to start with. Avoid organizing multiple spaces at once
📎 Start by taking everything out of the space and sorting by category
📎 If something doesn’t belong in the space, place those items in a box or pile and deal with them later to avoid starting another organizing project at that time 😉
📎 The focus should be to get rid of excess, duplicates and things you no longer use. Start piles for toss, recycle and donate
📎 once your things are sorted, determine how they might live in the space (drawer, closet, etc.)
📎 If you have extra buns, baskets, shoe boxes on hand, use them to play around with how to organize things in the space
📎 Measure and make a list of what additional storage bins you may need
📎 Best places to find budget-friendly storage options: Dollar stores, Aldi, Home Goods, Marshall’s, Amazon and Target.
📎 Think of this like a puzzle, it may take a few tries to find the right bins for your things and the space.
📎 Keep an open mind about where things should live. Just because a certain item has always lived in the hall closet, does not mean it’s the best spot for it. Think of how YOU use your space and home.

Happy Organizing! 🥳
