Today’s simple solution to begin the process of getting organized is clear the clutter first and when you see what you have left make a list of the storage containers you need to purchase.

I see a lot of the reverse when I come into a home to help get it organized. Over bought items that were meant to be used and never were end up becoming part of the clutter.

There are so many attractive storage solutions but buying what you don’t need takes up valuable space in your home.

If you don’t use it return it!

Start Small:

Whether it’s a medicine cabinet or junk drawer start somewhere. Do not try to tackle the whole house at one time or your will get overwhelmed. You want to be able to complete what you start and begin enjoying your new organized space. It will motivate you to move on to another area of your house.

Don’t make getting organized a resolution make it a lifestyle.
