Working Wednesday
Let’s organize your home, business, mind, and life!
Every single space in your home should have a purpose. Decide exactly what should be stored in that space. Once you have decided remove all the items that do not belong there. Then distribute those items around your home into their appropriate location.
Always make a shopping list before you go to the grocery store. This will save you from buying items you do not need, which in turn will save you money. Research shows that you can reduce your food expense by 25-30% on average, by taking a shopping list with you. A list will help you contain the urge to just randomly throw items in your basket that you do not need or already currently have enough of at home.
End key 🔑 confusion with new decorative keys 🔑 from your local hardware 🔨 and home improvement store. You can use stars and stripes 🇺🇸 for your office at work, a pretty floral 🌸 for your garden shed, and a cute little house 🏡 for your home. This trick is inexpensive, easy to do, and will save you time ⏰ and stress in the future. I love 💕 getting mine at Lowe’s, because they have such a large selection.
There are 5 main steps to almost every organizing job: SORT like items together PURGE anything you do not use, need, or love CONTAIN all kept items in boxes, baskets, bins, etc. to help coral your categories LABEL everything STORE each category in a drawer, in a closet, on a shelf, etc.
When you have a closet, room, or space that looks like this, where do you begin? I hear over and over again, “I just didn’t know where to start”. Honestly, it looks so much more difficult than it actually is. Start Anywhere!!! Just pick up one piece at a time and start sorting. Put like items together: wash, dry cleaning, clean clothes, should be in another room, etc. Once you have everything sorted, then start working on your piles. 1). Begin a load of wash 2) Put your dry cleaning in the car 3). Hang up or put away the clean clothing 4) Distribute the items that should be in another room If it’s too much for you to do this all in one day, then set a timer and work for 30 minutes to an hour. Continue this each day until everything has been gone through and worked.
Don’t you hate it when you are in your hotel room and the sunlight ☀️ comes through the drapes early in the morning. Especially when you’re on vacation and want to sleep in 🛌. I usually use the same clips that I use to hold my towel on my beach 🏖 chair, but here’s another quick and easy fix if you do not have those or forget to pack them. Just use a hotel pants 👖 hanger, to keep the drapes shut. Chip clips also work, if you want to pack a few of those.
