We forget sometimes that organization doesn’t
always have to be a lengthy chore. Sure, it might take some time to begin, but
once you find a home for your things, it can be quite simple and is worth the
initial efforts.
We’ve talked about minimalism, decluttering and
the like—how did it go? If you missed my 2-week challenge to follow Marie
Kondo’s advice to go down a path of joyful purging, that’s a good place to get
started.
When you begin, I recommend taking everything
out into the center of the room. Whether you are working on a room or a specifically
overgrown area of clutter, this is an essential step. Once you’ve got a heaping
sum, don’t put anything away until you’ve decided on a specific home for the
item. Do detailed work here; really find a place that will be easy to access
and that feels like the right space for your things. Continue through your
whole home to attain a complete peace of mind that transcends each room. There
is no better feeling than when everything is rightfully returned and put away.
In time, you’ll realize how fun organization
can be! If you do the hard work once, returning items to their rightful homes
is a manageable task that can bring so much satisfaction when you consistently
return your living space to a joyful, livable space.
