Organizing clutter is a real challenge for homemakers. It's time consuming and at times you can't just keep up. Whenever I feel lazy its great to be reminded of things that needs to be done. Here's 5 sayings to help us get a bit organized..
- A HOME FOR EVERYTHING AND EVERYTHING IN ITS PLACE - Designate a specific home for all of your stuff. Then, be sure that everything taken, gets returned to its home when done being used.. If things have their own place, its easier to return when you're done using them.
- DON'T PUT IT DOWN. PUT IT AWAY - Don't give clutter a chance to form. Put it away now. You'll find it when you need it, and your environment will remain clutter-free.
- FILE, DON'T PILE - Paper clutter increases day by day. If you DON'T need a piece of paper, get rid of it immediately. Either recycle it, or give it to the appropriate party.
If you DO need a piece of paper, file it right now. Don't put it down, even for a minute. Either place it in your filing cabinet, your Tickler file, your bill paying system, etc. If you take the time to file it now, it won't stand a chance of growing into a huge pile.
- QUALITY OVER QUANTITY- Always remember to place your emphasis on quality over quantity. In other words, it's not important to have a lot of things, many of which you never use. It's more beneficial to have fewer things, all of which you use and/or enjoy. Simplify your life and you will get and stay organized!
- FIND EVERYTHING YOU NEED WHEN YOU NEED IT, GET EVERYTHING DONE WHEN IT'S DUE - Being organized actually entails 'finding everything you need when you need it, and getting everything done when it's due.' If you can master these two things, you are well on your way to being organized.
