The Organized Home

Clear the Clutter and
Organize Every Room in
Your Home - Closets too!

Learn super easy home organization tips that give you an organized home in no time.

If you’re looking to organize your whole house or just one room, you’ve come to the right place.

Having an organized home is easy as following these four steps:

  1. Remember the purpose of the space you're organizing and organize for that purpose.
  2. Declutter - get rid of the extra stuff.
  3. Categorize what's left over.
  4. Organize it - create a space for everything.

K.I.S.S. - use these four steps for any organizing project to keep it all simple... Life itself is too complicated, don't over complicate getting organized!

Clearing out the clutter can be hard for some, so as you work on clearing clutter, ask yourself these four simple questions:

  1. Do I want this?
  2. Do I need this?
  3. Do I use this?
  4. Do I love this?

If you have pack rat tendencies and answered yes to any of these questions, then ask yourself why you answered that way. Be brutally honest with yourself, or you will never break the clutter habit.

One way to stop pack rat tendencies is to find a non-pack rat to help you clear out the clutter. Have the non-pack rat in your life ask you the tough decluttering questions to help organize your home.

Break big projects down using a timer. A timer is an excellent way to dig in and get your home organized. Just set a timer for 30 minutes a day and work fast as you can. When the timer goes off, you know you're done for the day.

Breaking big organization projects down using a timer, not only sets a work schedule in place, it also provides instant boosts to your motivation by finishing tasks ever day.

You'll be amazed at how much you can get done by using the clock to challenge yourself.

After you get your home organized using the easy steps provided in the articles below, simple maintenance is all that is required to keep it up!
