Sort It Out

Now is the time to sort through it all. That means remove things you no longer use, need or brings any value to your life. Remember that you want to declutter the clutter and you can’t save everything so lets really free up space.  So Just like you get new things to freshen up your life, you also need to get rid of things to make space for these new items.

Ask yourself question such as: Have I used this in the last six months? Am I going to use it this week or next? Did you try it out and did it work for you? If the answer is no for everything, its time to let it go, place it in a donation bag and move on to the next item.

Divide into Categories & Put Away

Once you have sorted out everything and removed the necessary items. Guess what, you can now see what you really have. Based on what you have left on the floor or table, divide your items into categories. For example, for clothing, you want to keep t-shirts with t-shirts, long sleeves with long sleeves and so on. Why? It is easier to find your items. For toys or games think about putting them away in bins or baskets. Categorize your papers into folders and put dividers in your drawers.

Label It

The last thing you need to do is give your bins, baskets and folders. Believe me, you are not going to regret doing that. By labelling, you are creating a more functional household because everyone will know where something is and where to put them back.

There are many different ways to label things from using a label machine, a Silhouette machine to using a laminated, adhesive or clip-on, whichever you desire it will get the job done.
