Let’s Get Organized

Does your home have a look of clutter? When you need something, do you have to go through piles of papers, clothes, or even trash to find it? Are your children in the midst of all this clutter? Possibly you can organize just a little better. Would you consider yourself an organized or disorganized person?

Professional Organizer

Maybe you need to learn how to organize your home. I have heard some exclaim that they are just messy or their husband is just messy. Well being messy is a choice. You can choose to be messy or you can choose to organize. Which one will you choose?

1. Toilet Tissue Holder

Have you finished using the toilet only to discover the toilet tissue was used up? There is no need to have this problem again with a tissue holder. The tissue holder  holds extra rolls of toilet tissue so when one runs out, you only need to refill it right then. I purchased mine at Bed, Bath, and Beyond for $39.95 with my coupons. I am very happy with it and I have no complaints.

2. Messy vs Cleany

I recalled I read a book by Sandra Felton called “Messy No More.” It really changed my life. She compared a messy to a cleany and explained how each of those type of people thought. In fact, there are those that will tell you leave their mess alone, because they know where everything is. Do they really? Anyway, I discovered I was a messy. As I read her book, I was nearly underlining everything she said, because I discovered she describe me fully. The great thing about this book she gave great examples of how to change. I also saw one of my relatives in this book. This particular relative was a cleany. Her floor and house was immaculate. I recalled she would iron her sheets and her husband's underwear. If you smoked, as soon as you put one ash in the ash tray, she would empty it. Who does that? Do you have a relative like that? I highly recommend her book.

3. Cleaning House

One thing that I learned, and found it works very well for me is to clean one thing in a different room each day. By doing this the house gets clean and can stay clean. Now if you have not cleaned in some time it may take a while but eventually you will see the difference. There will be no need to rush and try and clean and pick up things before friends come over. Now the bathroom and kitchen are cleaned daily no matter what. That is just my personal preference. At first it seemed like a chore, but eventually I could see the difference.

4. Example

Have you considered the example you are setting for your children when your are messy? Do you want them to think that it is okay? Granted when you have small children the house may not always stay organized no matter how hard you try, but at some point you have to start trying as children get older.

5. Natural Cleaning

I have discovered the many uses of vinegar. Besides the fact that I use vinegar to tenderize my meats, I also use it to clean my shower and bathroom sink. I like the way that it makes the faucets shine. That shine and cleanliness is the greatest reward for me.

6. Calendar

Have you ever thought about how a calendar can help keep you organize? I remember an older lady telling me she was having such a hard time keeping up with all of her doctor appointments. I bought her a calendar and suggested she list them on there. The idea of keeping a calendar was something that she had never considered. A calendar or journal can be used for keeping various appointments.

7. To Do List

This is so important to keep a “to do list” Because if you do not manage your life your life will manage you. My to do list used to be so long. Eventually I discovered some things did not have to be done in one day, but rather could be saved for another day. Also, it makes more since when I can see the list written down.

8. Color

Have you tried color coding to file your files? This is awesome for those that still have not gone all the way paperless. File each of those files a different color. This is also good for those that are more visual learners. I also have my clothes in my closet filed by the color. What tips do you have for organizing?
