Lets Get Organized - By Spruce Design Solutions

The beauty of being organized is it allows you to keep the balls in the air and off the floor. There is no one step rule or quick fix to achieving your organizational goals but with a little thought, some discipline and process, I believe that you can conquer the challenge of organization.  If you're up for the challenge, lets discuss some basic rules for getting and staying organized. 


For starters... 

• Take a moment to write down your thoughts on your state of organization.
• Think about where you can use some help and storage items that can make your life easier.
• Process the importance of getting organized for you and even your family. 

After completing that task you will have a sense of purpose.  A road map if you will for getting organized and staying organized.

Now, lets talk about the how. Again, organization does not happen over night, that's where discipline comes in. Don't attempt to do everything all at once; this will only cause frustration and delay your goals. 

• Start with one space and give yourself a timeline to complete the project. 
• Visit your space, and begin by determining what is a necessity and what can be stored, recycled, donated or tossed. 
• Create piles accordingly. Once you've established where everything lives, it will be easier to return it to it's rightful place. 

The second step is determining whether the space is equipped with the appropriate storage for your items. If not, there are several stores dedicated to storage solutions like Bed Bath and Beyond and The Container Store just to name a few. The sales associates are very knowledgable and can help you locate items that will best suit your needs. Remember to go armed with measurements and your list. Slowly work through your space one section at a time and more importantly, be realistic. The leopard skirt that you wore back in high school that you hope one day will come back in style is an example of not being realistic. The truth is....brace yourself....it's never coming back and if it does, and it may....you probably shouldn't be wearing it. 

In summary take notes and reflect on why you need to get organized, create a place for everything in the space, practice returning items to the appropriate place and be realistic about your habits and what are necessities. I guarantee that following these steps will help you to achieve complete organization.
