Strategy 7 Organize

How many times have you stopped at a store, saw some really nice baskets or bins and all of sudden had motivation to get organized. Literally this is where I think we all start. My daughter, without any prior discussion, asked if we could buy these specific baskets so that, and I quote, “I can organize my bedroom, mom.” How is it that buying baskets or bins will result in an organized bedroom? When we actually stop and think about it we realize that the baskets and bins would look nice but we have no idea if they fit the space or what we would even store in them.

And this is why so many of us wind up on the hamster wheel of home organizing where we have to organize the same spaces over and over and over again. 

The strategy we’ll talk about today is the strategy that most people think of when they think of getting organized, but with a twist. 

As someone who is or feels like they’re just starting their home organizing journey you want to be set up for lasting home organizing solutions, right?  In order to make that happen you’ll have to do something different than you’ve done before or what society tells us.

Instead of starting with cute bins and resolving to just get rid of everything, you can shift your focus when you ORGANIZE. In this episode I’ll share with you what it means to organize, why it’s important and how to organize so that you can set yourself up for success and ultimately get off the hamster wheel of home organizing.

You can dive deeper into organizing by focusing on the function with me by your side. Sign up for The Secrets to Lasting Home Organization at www.homeorganizingforbeginners.com .
