Beginning in the least used rooms isn’t always the most efficient… sitting in your attic tossing out school memorabilia is never fast and easy… several hours later you are still reminiscing! Clean out well-used rooms first. Establish a sorting area or “ground zero” for your projects that is out of the way from life’s hustle and bustle, just in case you can’t finish in one session.
Bonus Tip – Organizing a tiny space you use constantly, even your handbag, will motivate you to bigger projects
You’re not saving money on the gallon jar of mayo unless you use it before it expires. Don’t get so excited over the “good deal” that it overtakes logic and common sense.
If you’re pantry isn’t huge, stick to bargains on items you deplete quickly, like toilet paper, not 10/$10 deals.
Are your clothes stashed in the dark abyss of your closet? Open shelving and cubbies are a solution. Exposing your attire will curb impulse buys. No open slot? No new purchases.
Perhaps your closet doors make it impossible to reach in and grab what you need. Consider a small redo of the doors.
Wallpaper, colorful paint or wall mirrors can give your closet a huge lift and lift your spirits too!
There is only so much a closet can hold. Use the space outside your closet, an empty corner, a wall section and stage a dressing spot. A small accent table can hold costume jewelry, hats and even attractive totes or handbags. Decorative wall hooks are a problem solver too! Always keep these areas tidy!
