Organizing Made Simple

Starting in 2000, Organizing Made Simple has worked on the premise that organizing the things in your life creates the momentum to accomplish the tasks in your life with ease.  We believe that organizing is a process, not a goal; just as life is constantly changing, so is the process.

Three basic elements of getting and staying organized are:

1) Study the area to be organized for the way things are placed now and also how you'd like to see the space arranged or the information flow.

The clutter or disorganization you see presents a picture... a history.  From this view, you can see where you need to place organizing products and how big you need the product to be.  It also tells you about the needs of each household member using the space.  Take measurements and keep this list with you so that when you come across a product while shopping that you think will work, you have the dimensions to see if it will work.

2) Ask yourself: Is there enough light?  Are the storage containers clear or opaque?  Do I know what is in them?  Are the systems easy or hard to use?

Adequate lighting is essential to creating and maintaining an organized space.  Upgrade your lighting or change the light bulb to the maximum wattage allowed by the fixture.  Get small, battery-powered fluorescent lights to see in dark areas (kitchen base cabinets, closets, under bathroom sinks).  Buy containers that are as clear as you can afford (plasticine: clear, glass-like plastic is best) and label the contents (a label machine or white duct tape w/marker), and test the systems you choose for ease-of-use.  If it is difficult or you must struggle in any way, you will abandon that system.  Check to see that drawers and sliding baskets move with little effort.  Utilize cabinet doors with shelves and hooks so that items may be "presented" to you upon opening.  Look up, just below the ceiling, to discover the vast amount of "space real estate" that can be utilized for books, to display a collection, or to hang shelves.

3) Make the time each day to maintain the systems in place.

Five seconds here... one minute there will make the difference between chaos and calm in the end.  Walk the three extra steps... place that sheet of paper in a file folder... jot down an item on your "To Do" list... go through the daily mail.  For each moment you spend now, you will save hours of stress and frustration.
