This is my bare bones method for organizing of any sort. It has transformed my hectic world into a fluid & fun experience! The S.P.A.C.E. concept is something I learned from brilliant organizing guru Julie Morgenstern, author of Organizing from the Inside Out. This system reduces each item in your world to its purpose in your life, creating vacuous space and facilitating fluid function. YAY!
First, thou shalt analyze the area to be made magnificent. Refer to Organizing Part 1: Get Real with Your Needs.
Sort
Pull out everything in the chosen area and sort strictly according to how you use each item....K....
Purge
Recycle, throw out or archive or store anything that hasn't been used recently.........Mmmmkay...
Assign a Home
Group the keepers according to how you use them and assign them homes where you use them. Use sticky notes. Now you will know what, if any, storage container-y things you might need to get. Make a list. *I will list my favesie organizers for different areas of the home in a future bloggy thingy.
Contain
Get the containers you need, put your goodies in them. Put the goodies where they go. Label them if there is even the slightest doubt about the obviousness of what goes where. Labels on people: Not Good. Labels on people's stuff: Way Good. *teehee*
Equalize
Keep up on the putting of things in their places day by day. Your system is set to make
that easy, so stay committed. A space for everything and everything in its space!
Live it, love it, DO IT!!! It will make your life so fluid. YAY!!!
