Tips for organizing the home and family
(NC)—A messy and disorganized home can erode your quality of life, causing stress and wasting time. The following tips will help you on your way to stopping the chaos and finding more space in your home and more time in a day to spend with your family:
• De-clutter: The root cause of chronic mess is often not enough space for belongings. Clean out ‘junk drawers’, closets and any other area that has run out of storage space. It’s time to be ruthless. Decide which items you will realistically have a use for.
• Choose space saving appliances such as wall mounted telephones and under-counter microwave ovens, can openers and radios.
• Take advantage of small bits of ‘free’ time. Even working 10 minutes on a big project will make the job that much smaller the next time you tackle it.
• Don’t be a perfectionist. Spending too much time on one project will cut into time you could be spending with family.
• Use technology to your advantage. Save time and traffic headaches by shopping online for gifts, clothing and even groceries in some locations.
• Make a household rule: don’t leave a room empty handed. If you are watching television and you get up for a glass of water make sure to take any dirty dishes or trash with you.
• Open your mail over your paper-recycling bin disposing of trash mail immediately. This way it will not have a chance to clutter up your countertop.
By tacking small but noticeable projects you can work towards a more organized home, leaving more time to spend with family and friends. More information can be found at www.royallepage.ca.
