Are you Organized?
here are some helpful tips from: Mary Cornetta @ apartmenttherapy
The new year is an ideal time for a fresh start. As a professional organizer myself, there are certain habits that I like to instill in my clients and remind myself to follow so that our homes feel warm, inviting, and as comfortable as possible. On the flip side, there are also habits that people can easily get stuck in or sucked into that do more harm than good.
I’ve compiled four that I think you should start (if you haven’t already!) and four that you should let go of in 2023.
Start giving everything in your home, well, a home
I don’t believe in the word “miscellaneous.” OK, I believe in it because it’s a real word but it doesn’t mean I like it. I think that everything should be categorized in some way or another. This just makes it so much easier to give your belongings a proper home. If you’re not in the habit yet, group your stuff and then assign them a spot. Furniture care products, first aid supplies, backstock bulk buys, and so on can have their own space wherever it makes sense in your place. This way, when someone needs something, it’s time to replace an item, or you need to clean up, you don’t have to think so hard about where it’s going to go.
Start buying containers with intention
The “buy now” button on Amazon makes it so easy to purchase popular home organization supplies on a whim. I encourage you to take a moment before hitting it to check a few things off your list:
Do the measurements fit your space and the items you want to organize?
Are the reviews good or are they iffy?
Is there a simple return policy in case they don’t work the way you thought?
