One of my biggest issues when it comes to cleaning is organization. What most people don't realize is that things will stay cleaner a lot longer if you organize! I don't mean find an exact place for every item you own; you don't want your house/bedroom to look like a robot lives there!
I've come up with 4 of my own tips on organizing and how to keep organized! I am by no means an expert, so if you have any suggestions, please leave a comment below!
1. Accomplish your own way
Everyone has their own way of doing things. I usually make a list of what needs to get done because I love the feeling of crossing things off my list as I finish them. If you don't need a list; don't waste your time. If you need to designate one day a week to organize- do that! Whatever works for you, test out different ways of doing it and you're sure to find the best way that works for you!
2. Ditch the things you don't need
The shredded D.A.R.E t-shirt you got in 5th grade, do you truly need it? Throw away clutter or donate the items you no longer have use for. It may be clothing, decor, or just miscellaneous items hanging around your space. If you don't use it often/ don't know the last time you used it- ditch it.
3. Purchase organization tools
Grab your bag, your wallet, and maybe a few snapshot of cupboards or closets you want to organize. It's time to shop! Head to Target or even a Dollar Tree for bins,boxes, and cute organization sectionals. Instead of throwing all your bobby pins, hair ties, headbands, hairbrushes, etc. into a draw (which is likely to get messy). Purchase sectionals for the drawer to better help you stay organized.
4. Stick to your guns
Try not to become lazy- at least when it comes to your newly organized space! Much like tip number two, take a few moments out of your day to tidy up and keep your organization, well, organized! In the end, you'll be glad you did.
Organization doesn't have to be boring- you can make it enjoyable! I know that when things are organized around me, I feel much more level-headed and all around better about myself. I hope my tips have helped you. Like I said above, if you have a tip not listed above, leave it in the comments! I'm all about learning new things and ways of doing things! :)
Until next time...
XOXO, Jess
