The Secrets of the Organized
- Make Decisions Quickly
People who successfully maintain organized homes all make decisions quickly. They are good about getting rid of items that they no longer use, and they try to let go of things that they might use…someday. - Move Donation and Disposal Items Quickly
Organized people do not let donation and disposal bags linger in their closet, hallway, or garage. Instead, they get these items out of the house in a timely manner. They take bags to a donation drop-off location the same day the bags are filled. If items are too big for their vehicle, they schedule a charity pickup as soon as possible. - Edit Clothing and Accessories Frequently
Organized people cull their wardrobes regularly. Follow their lead and at the end of each season, get rid of anything you haven’t worn. Give yourself permission to toss stained or torn items, to donate ill-fitting or uncomfortable ones, and even to let go of items you simply don’t wear because they are no longer your favorites. - Be Mindful of Purchases
Organized people are thoughtful about what they bring into their homes. If you do not have space to store large-quantity items, don’t buy them. Before you buy a new small appliance, consider if you have the space for it. Try to avoid buying gadgets that have only a single purpose; invest in items that can be used for multiple purposes.
