Tips to Help!

Paperwork
Paper is one of the main sources of clutter in a home. In addition to setting up the appropriate filing system for the paper flow in your home, make sure you understand what paperwork is necessary to keep and how long you should keep it.

Sorting
Sorting can be one of the most rewarding processes in keeping your home organized. As we often say, everyone has their own set of circumstances surrounding their chaos which can determine the style or complexity of the sorting process. Regardless of the type of sort, it is wise to have the following sorting tools available before starting: boxes, tape, trash bags, shredder, hangers, and a labeler or permanent marker.

Before you begin, establish sorting categories such as: keep, give away, sell, trash. Next, determine your sorting goal. If you can't get through an entire room, start with the closet or a shelf or drawer. Try to establish a time limit for your sort. If you can't decide which category to place an item, put it in the keep pile for now. If you come across a box of several things that you will have to perform a detailed sort on, place it in the keep pile to sort later so you stay on task.

Questions you may want to ask yourself while sorting are:
Do I love it?
Does it work?
Do I use it regularly?
Do these clothes fit today?
Has it or is it being taken care of?
Do I have enough space to keep this?
