I always try to start the year off on the right foot, and getting organized is a great way to do that! Even if you’re already a pretty organized person, there are a few things you can do to take that to the next level.
- Open your mail every day. We’re all guilty of letting mail pile up on the kitchen counter. Make it a habit to immediately open the mail and toss any junk mail right away. Anything that needs following up on goes to a designated spot on your desk.
- Have a spot for bits and baubles. Corral tiny items like keys or loose change into small dishes or trays.
- Transfer your pantry staples into clear containers. Not only does it look pretty in your pantry, it makes it a lot easier to find what you’re looking for and frees up space.
- Use a uniform set of hangers. Treat yourself to new hangers this year. It makes clothes easier to move around and access when your hangers are all the same and it looks so mun better!
- Check expirations dates and purge. The easiest way to declutter your life is to check expirations on your food, medicines, and even makeup items. You’ll be surprised at how much space expired things are taking up in your house.
Hide toys with baskets Instead of letting toys take over your house, keep pretty baskets in the most lived-in spaces of your house, and at the end of the day, toss any toys strewn about in a basket.
