Create a Plan!

Household tip #7-
Having a clean and organized home starts with having a plan. So many people get overwhelmed by not knowing where to begin. Don’t just haphazardly jump from room to room…it will be an endless battle! Start by going through a new area within your home each month (or each week if you have the time). Focus only on that room and go through absolutely everything! Tossing out & donating anything you no longer use. Don’t skip any areas! Go through every drawer, and pickup each & every item. Glancing through things doesn’t make as much of an impact as actually picking everything up. Once you do, ask yourself these questions: Do I need this? Will I use this? Why do I still have this? Once you do that, you will quickly find several items to donate or throw away. Once you are done, organize everything into the proper place by placing the most used items in easy reach and less used items in harder to reach locations. Keeping anything that doesn’t belong in that room in a separate area so you can later return those items. If you leave the room to put something away, you may find yourself organizing that room or area. Be sure to stay focused on one room at a time so you don’t lose momentum. Happy organizing! ?
