The after Christmas let down- all the shopping, cooking, wrapping, eating and drinking is done and now you are left with the aftermath. The mountain of mess- one room is worse than the last-garbage, dishes ugh it goes on and on. Now is the moment to take charge- while the family is busy with their new goodies check out this list Real Simple magazine published The Rules of Balanced Organizing- these mottoes promise to bring order to your mind and your post holiday home!
1. One in One out- this is obvious, new pair shoes under the tree then toss old ones out.
2. No Transferring of Clutter- Carrying piles from one room to the next will not solve any problems- don't bury the den to save the dining room.
3. Doubles are Trouble- 5 tweezers yes excessive, but 2 pairs of scissors fine. Remember 2 of anything should be the max.
4. Keep it Where You Use It- stash the toner nest to the printer- don't make finding simple things a scavnger hunt.
5. A to Z- Fix one spot from start to finish! Do not jump around from mes to mess and end up with many half done projects.
6. Label It- Mark bins and boxes and that way everyone will know where items should go.
7. Just Do It- 1 to do list consolidate all to do items-whether on paper or your phone and then you can keep
8. Organizing is a Circle! You have got to roll with it all the time so get ready to start
(again)
