How To Get Organized — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 15:36:38 +0000

I’m an adult living with my Mother and we live in a very large, old house with tons of antiques that collect dust. When my parents were together when I was a child, we had a housekeeper. However, I my Mom and my sister and I did housework and yardwork as well. I’ll admit that I’m lazy but I’m a little bit more overwhelmed. I can’t expect my 66 yr. old mother to do all this and we can’t afford help right now. Oh, did I mention we have a large yard with tons of trees and about a million leaves that need raking? The house is getting really gross and dusty and I’m a nervous wreck, please give me suggestions and don’t tell me to get off my lazy you know what or I’ll report you. Please help.

Tips for cleaning & organizing my house?

How To Get Organized — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 19:39:50 +0000

I have been in my house now for over a year. @ first I thought it was just me & that I did not have any motivation or skills of cleaning but then I thought, "OK how hard is it to clean a house?" well now I’m back to my first impression. I can’t clean. I can’t get motivated. I know I should probably just do one room @ a time to get started & organized like I want it to be. Can you give me some tips on everyday things that will help each day so that it does not get in this condition again. I have 2 closets & no building outside so I really don’t have a lot of storage space. Any ideas of how to organized "non frequently used" things? Please help!

Organizing Your House

How To Get Organized — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 00:04:26 +0000

Some people think that organizing your house requires a lot of work, or setting up a complicated system. Many people think that getting organized is impossible. While that is not true, it does take a disciplined person not to return back to their old habits. Getting organized is quite easy, and there are many benefits to being organized. Here are five reasons why you should get organized.

You Will Have More Room

One of my favorite things about organizing your house is that I have more room. When I set about organizing one of the rooms, my goal is to make sure everything has its own place. This reduces clutter, and makes it easy for me to find anything I need at a single moment. Once everything has its own spot, it becomes easy to keep the room uncluttered.

You Will Be Able to Save Time

Knowing exactly where everything is is a great time saver. I have a cousin who’s life is a complete clutter, and she is always looking for things. She thinks I have a knack for knowing where everything is, but what it really is is that I am extremely organized. She keeps her incoming mail and important papers scattered around the house, while mine are neatly tucked away and organized into files in the filing cabinet. It is a rare occasion that I am unable to find something that I need.

You Will Save Money

How many times have you had to buy something again because you couldn’t find the one you originally purchased. A good example of this are pens and pencils. I use mine until they run out because I always know where they are. My pens and pencils are always in the same place. I pull one out, I use it, I put it back in its place. I may have more than one place that I keep my pens, that way if I’m in the kitchen and I need a pen, I don’t have to walk all the way to the office.

You Will Feel More In Control

This is a big one for me. I think it is what drives me to keep my life well organized. Did you know that a cluttered environment can unconsciously make you feel stress? Some people are not aware of this. This is something that I have always been aware of since I was a small child. Okay, I may be a bit of a fanatic, but I remember being a small child, and having to have everything in my room in its place before I went to bed. It just made me feel more at ease.

Organizing your house requires a bit of discipline to maintain. For some people this is not easy. The goal is to not lapse back into your old habits, or your efforts will get all cluttered again.
