- DON’T organize if you’re feeling emotional. DO wait until you’re feeling calm and motivated! Being calm ensures you don’t make any hasty decisions.
- DON’T move from room to room as you organize. DO keep clutter contained to the room you’re organizing in. Bouncing around from room to room will wear you out and waste time. Have separate bags for donation, trash and items to distribute to other rooms. Once you’re done organizing a room, you can take each bag directly to where it needs to go.
- DON’T expect to finish organizing your whole house in one day. DO give yourself a reasonable time limit. Set an alarm on your phone and anything that’s left over can temporarily wait until next time.
- DON’T buy bulk items when you don’t have the space. DO spend the extra money each month to keep your sanity- and extra space in your cabinets.
- DON’T keep essential items in a limited access area. DO make sure the things you use most are the most accessible to you and your family.
- DON’T hold on to items you know you’ll never use. DO donate the items to a charity that’s close to your heart.
- DON’T have more than one place for like-items. DO keep like-items together at all times. When organizing, think of your house like a grocery store. The things that belong together should be kept together- just like your local market.
- DON’T organize one time and think it’s going to last you and your family a lifetime. DO re-evaluate your space, at least, twice each year. Your life will change, your mind will change, your space should too.
- DON’T buy bins without lids just because you don’t need them at the moment. DO think about long-term storage and the possibility of needing to switch things up later. When it comes to containers, it’s always good to leave your options open and give yourself room to grow.
- DON’T go to bed without putting things away. DO make a game out of it. Set an egg timer for 15 minutes and every night, the whole family plays, “Hurry up, get organized!”
