Still, Trying To Get Organized?
I am obsessed with organizing. I love reading articles on how to stay organized, stick to schedules, and save money. Oh if only I was able to put these suggestions into practice every day!!!! The time spent in quarantine really jumped started a massive cleanout, though I have a long way to go. Here are some tips that I found that really helped me get started
1). Think before you buy….I am really trying to follow the rule, one thing in one thing out. This also helps with impulse buying. If you get a new sweater say goodbye to one in your closet that has not seen the light of day for years!!!!!
2) Get rid of unnecessary clutter…..lets this be the year we get rid of the following lying around the house:
- Old Magazines
- Old Shopping Bags
- Old Wrapping paper rolls, especially Christmas!!!! (even if you think there is enough to wrap one last present!!!!)
- Old Tupperware containers…you really only need two or 3 max.
- Lone socks waiting for a mate…I KNOW THIS IS HARD but just let them go!!!!!!!!
- Old towels
- Random Cables and Wires (though I have to do this when my husband is not at home!!!!!!!!!!!!)
- Delete your trash and junk folders on your computer
- Unsubscribe to any unwanted email subscriptions
- Lastly, dispose of any misc. logo mugs. Do you really need that Great Adventure Mug from 10 years ago????
