Getting organized is a common goal, whether you’ve just moved in or you’ve been living at a Luxury Apts WNY apartment home for awhile. It’s a good idea to “have a place for everything,” and “keep everything in its place,” — however, figuring out where that place is for everything can be a challenge. Today we will be sharing some tips for getting a handle on getting organized.
First, make a plan. Make a list of what area you want to organize and use it to stay on track as you work through one area at a time. If need be, start small. Organize a set of drawers, or maybe a closet, and keep working until you’ve done the whole room. Then move on.
Ask if it fits. Figure out what exactly you have and where it is currently stored. Does the storage place make sense? Is it with “like” items? Could it be placed in a kit? Does it require any sort of special storage? The answers to these questions will help you determine the best place to keep any given item.
Sort it. As you work, create three piles: Throw Away, Donate, Keep. Once the items are separated into these three categories, go through the items you want to keep and ask yourself these questions: “Do I really love it?” “Do I really need it?” And for clothing, “How often do I wear it?” Your answers will help you determine whether to keep it or to put it in the donate pile for someone else to enjoy.
Contain it. Do you need additional totes to organize all of the toys or your hat collection? Use some sort of system to identify contents (a certain color or label, perhaps). Think outside the box or borrow creative solutions from others. Check out Pinterest; it has a multitude of ideas for organizing your home.
