How To Get Organized?

Hi everyone! Happy New Year 2015! I hope it’s not too late to say it. We still in January anyway. Hehe... January is the first month of the year. Top on everyone's list in the new year: Get organized. It’s almost a month I haven’t post anything in this blog. Since the school holiday is over, It’s time for me to get back to work. You know as a teacher, everything is keep changing especially the school timetable. So getting organized in the first month is quite difficult (For me ;-p) 

 

That’s the reason why I stop blogging for a while. So for today’s blog post, I want to share about how to getting organized. From Mr. Google, I found some tips from pros who know how to make organization easy and beautiful without spending a fortune. I hope this help you and me to organized our daily lives.;-)

1. Organize for 15 minutes each day.
This could mean anything from sorting mail to throwing out mystery foods in the refrigerator. Just 15 minutes a day can make a huge difference over time. Make to do list for every urgent and not urgent work. Buy a small notebook and carry it everywhere you go or use your smartphone by setting an alarm to remind you any urgent things to do.

2. Download money management program or apps

4) Make a simple sorting system for your papers. 

Filing system is a great way to keep your papers. Don't forget to label them so it's easy to it later.

5) Your closet

Be honest with yourself about whether things fit, or you like them or you'll ever wear them again. If you have a friend you trust, try things on and get an honest opinion.

Get those big green garbage bags  and fill them up with your gently used clothing and shoes, handbags and accessories, ties, suits whatever you've got. Take them to a local charity. Toss out torn, stained or ripped items. Now you will have a much more manageable closet, and people in need will have clothes to wear. Also, do yourself a favor and buy some Ultra-Thin Hangers - you'll be amazed at the additional room you have. 

 

6) Check the expiration dates in your medicine cabinet and in your kitchen.
You'll be surprised how many things are not only out of date, but basically useless, too. Spices lose their flavors, pain relievers lose their efficacy. Get rid of any prescription drugs that you no longer need by taking them to a drop off location for proper disposal. Check canned goods, dry goods, cereals and frozen foods for expired items.

7) Craft Supplies

How about your craft supplies? Keeping those craft supplies organized can be difficult, particularly when you are dealing with very small items. The solution? You just need to pick up a few small plastic containers with lids and have a picture frame handy (one of those thicker ones). You can label the boxes and then use the frame to keep them all together, neat and organized. For more tips about crafts you can refer some tips from etsy here:

Getting organized takes patience, time and the ability to throw things away. Once you get started, you'll feel so much better! Have a great day!
