Luv-2-Organize: SCRAPBOOKING ROOM

How To Start Organizing Any Space

STEP 1: Start with one room. Now make boxes that say:

TO DONATE
TO TRASH
TO THINK ABOUT
TO STORE
TO KEEP

The key in organizing is to make it fun & not to overwhelm yourself. As you go through your room, sort things into your boxes.

TO DONATE: When you are finished, immediately take your boxes for donation to your car & take them to the place you're donating or call the place you are donating to and arrange for them to pick up your stuff.

TO TRASH: Take your trash out immediately & don't look back!

TO THINK ABOUT: If you haven't used it in the past year - then my motto is LOSE IT!

TO STORE: Go out and buy some storage containers, preferably clear ones with a lid. Walmart always seems to have the best price on these, sometimes Target. Put your stuff in the containers & make a label on the end of the container that says what it is. Now take it to your basement, garage, storage shed, or wherever you store your stuff & stack it neatly.

TO KEEP: Now we are left with the stuff that you want to keep!

STEP 2: Now let's take all the stuff that you have left to keep and start organizing it into categories of like items. Take your like items and put them back neatly together.

STEP 3: Remember one little thing: If you get it out - put it back!!! It takes just 30 days to make a new habit or break an old one! Also, it takes the same time to get something out and to put something back. A picked up space looks like a clean space to others eyes!
