A. Take your time

Trust me on this one. How many times have you said, "I'm going to organize that closet, drawer, garage, etc.," and happen? Select a date and time and write down on the calendar. In honor of this quote, as I do it.

Two. What do you want?

Enter the room you organize and introduce yourself to want the following questions:

• What can I not do for the mess in this room?
• I want to work this room as?
• I want to look this space?
• I want to feel this space?

Three. The solution of the problem

The first step in the organization process is to sort the items. This is in contrast to the belief that you can go to the nearest store and buy containers organization. This is actually the last step in the process of organizing.

Decide what. Within the space that remains moved to another room, which donated and what can be recycled

April. Like all groups

When ordering items, staying in the room, keep them in similar groups. For example, books and magazines are like objects.

May Do not go and buy container

I've said it before, but it bears repeating. People often ask me why they can not organize. They say they bought, containers, but do not work. I wonder what they did with the space. Before the arrival of the container The answer is always the same - nothing.

6 After sorting, use what you have

Would you like to organize products remain in the room. At this point you should be able to see what certain groups of container size you need.

Take a tour of his home to find items that can be reused as containers.

7 Go vertical

Set this field empty wall for use with the installation of shelves or a library. When you get products and high ground, it does.

8 Hold

Once you have your room or space, continue with daily or weekly pills organized.

9 One-in, one-out

Use to keep this rule things under control. When you buy a new blouse, should be given a former.

10 Get a room or space for the two

It may be tempting to keep two rooms at a time, but it is not productive. Focus your energy in a room or space at a time.

Give yourself credit - Rome was not built in a day, and your organization is not in one day. Continue to work to time on the court, until it is ready to plan.
