We should all take pride in our home. Our home should be our refuge away from the storms in the world. Our home should be our castle. We should love to be in our home and we should want to entertain frequently

Take the organizing plunge today. Do not put it off for one more moment in time. Your time is precious to you. Use it wisely.

Multi-tasking
Begin today by combining some activities such as: 1) exercise and watching TV, 2) flipping through magazines or brochures while talking on the telephone, 3) filing your finger nails while waiting for an appointment, 4) watering your favorite plants while clothes are in the dryer.

Organize your kids
Re-arrange your kid’s room so that they can keep it up themselves. Show your children how to keep tidy their own rooms and reward them on their achievement in doing so. Give them their own household responsibilities and chores and then offer them a form of allowance. This will teach them to be organized.

Organize your clothes
Hang clothes in the closet by type, arranging similar items together, and by use. Grouping them by color within the category will make it easier to mix and match your garments. Store out-of-season clothes in old suitcases, drawers, garment bags or trunks. Keep only current season’s coats and jackets in your coat closet. Use closet organizers and you will create more space in your closet.

Organize your kitchen
Here are good ways to create new space to your kitchen: 1) Install smaller wall shelves to hold canisters and small appliances. 2) Store away (or give away) appliances or kitchenware that is no longer being used. 3) Put shelf organizers inside cabinets with high shelf space. 4) Put a pegboard on walls to hang light or smaller items. 5) Use plastic drawer organizers under your kitchen sink to make better use of wasted space.

Organize your bedroom
Add comfort to your bedroom! Make a nifty bedside area by keeping those things you need close at hand in either a night table or handy caddy. This is used to hold items like notepaper, pens, reading glasses and whatever crafts items you like to do in the bedroom. Hang wall shelves on any useable wall space. This will create more storage space for things that decorate the room, or that serve a needed function.

The more you sort through your personal belongings and find a new home for them, the more free space you will be opening up and this is the secret of being organized!
