Where to start

Organizing becomes overwhelming when you try to organize your entire house all at once. Instead, take it one room at a time when you have the time. This makes it a project rather than a chore. Create a game plan so you know which rooms to start with, which organization tools you need, and what time frame you are working with. After your plan is set, it is time to get rid of unnecessary clutter. Everything you own should have a permanent place to be put away. When you are shopping for organization tools, you should be able to visualize how you will use each tool and where it will go before you purchase it so you do not end up creating more clutter instead of getting organized.

How to stay organized

Once each room in your home is organized, make sure you show your family where items go so when it is time to clean up messes, everyone knows where everything goes. When a home is organized, and everything has a place, it makes cleaning much easier for everyone in the home, especially kids. If you have young kids, use kid-friendly organization tools so it is fun for them to put things away.
