Two Steps to Get Organized

Okay, of course getting your life together isn't as easy as that title makes it sound, or you wouldn't be here looking for advice. But when we get down to the nitty-gritty, there really are only two basic steps to organizing anything. 1) Cull. 2) Put away. That’s really it! There are lots of places you might get stuck, but whenever you start to feel overwhelmed, remind yourself of these two steps. From there, you’ll be able to figure out what’s holding you back. Some people struggle more with one aspect than the other, while others find culling and putting away equally challenging.

These steps are definitely most successful when performed in order; it’s hard to know how much storage space you have to work with until you’ve narrowed down your inventory.

This month we’ll take a closer look at both steps. We’ll explore obstacles you might run into, and give you some tools to keep you heading in the right direction. Stay tuned!
