Personalize Your Organizing Strategies

Getting your home and your life organized is a goal most people would like to accomplish. It can feel like a big task, and you may find yourself stuck trying to navigate the process. Home organization is not a one size fits all project. The key to success is finding the strategies and solutions that work for your space and lifestyle. Organizing products are powerful tools that can help you transform your space from stressful to functional. Let’s explore how to make organizing products work for you.

Determine Your Pain Points

Before you buy any organizing products, take a moment to assess your space and your habits. What area do you use most frequently? Where does your clutter tend to pile up? What spaces are causing you the most stress and overwhelm? What simply isn’t working well for you? Knowing what isn’t working will help you develop your plan and determine your needs to organize those areas.

But First We Declutter

Now that you know the areas of focus, it’s important to declutter before you begin any organizing project. It will be so much easier to organize your space once all the items you don’t need or want are gone. Check out our decluttering tips here.

Don’t Forget To Measure

Measure before you shop! The perfect organizing product isn’t so perfect if it doesn’t fit your space. Save yourself from the frustration of having containers that don’t fit in your shelves or bins that are too large for your drawers. Taking the time to measure will save you time and money. Consider clearance space for drawers or lids that need to open. Also consider the amount of items that will need to fit in or on the product.

Work With Your Habits

Before purchasing any products, consider how you naturally use your space. Do you always lay your keys, wallet and sunglasses on the counter when you enter your home? Set up a small tray or decorative bowl in that spot to organize those items instead of attempting to change the spot. Setting up strategies and choosing products that align with your habits will be much easier for you to maintain.

Versatile & Functional

Organizing products come in all shapes, sizes and styles. Choose products that flow well with the vibe of your space while also serving a practical purpose. Also consider products that can adjust as your needs for the space change. Adjustable shelves and drawer organizers are great examples, as they can be easily changed to fit new items.

Get Creative

Think outside the box when choosing your organizing products. Many products can be used for multiple purposes. You can use a Lazy Susan on your bathroom counter for your beauty products. A back of the door shoe organizer can be used in your pantry to organize a quick grab snack station. A pegboard can be used to organize your jewelry. The possibilities are endless and the fun part is crafting your organizing strategies to work for you.

Remember, organizing products are tools. You choose how to use these tools based on your unique needs for the space. Building your organizing strategies around your lifestyle and habits will help you create systems that reduce clutter and improve the functionality of your home helping you to find joy in your space!
