You can reduce your stress and enjoy more time for yourself and your
family. Discover these nine secrets to getting and staying
organized.
1. Keep like items together. Keep cutting boards, knives, peelers
and vegetable brushes together near the sink. Place all
manicure/pedicure supplies in a basket.
2. Store things where you use them. Keep extra sheets in bedrooms,
videos near the TV, and cleaning supplies on every floor.
3. Make frequently used items easily accessible and rarely-used
items less accessible. If you use your blender daily, keep it on the
counter. If you use it once a month, put it in the back of a low
cabinet.
4. If you don't use it get rid of it. Unless it's a beautiful
decorative item or a cherished memento, why are you keeping it? Pass
it on.
5. Establish a place for everything. Designate a "home" for every
item in YOUR home. Make them so specific you can find things in the
dark.
6. Always put it back where it belongs after you use it. Teach
household members to do the same.
7. Use lists. Make lists of things to do and buy. Keep an on-going
grocery list. Post a current leftovers list on the fridge door. Use
a meals list.
8. Make it easy. Use hooks instead of hangers for kids' coats. Take
the lids off hampers. Preprint a grocery list so household members
can simply circle needed items.
9. Develop systems and routines. Find the most efficient way to do
laundry and stick with it. Use a meal planner consistently. You'll
save time by not having to think about the details.
