Top 5 Organising Tips

As you know we live and breathe organisation here at Blair Lifestyle Management. We find this extremely rewarding work and our Clients are always thrilled with the outcomes we are able to achieve.

We would like to inspired everyone to get more organised, so this month we reveal our Top 5 Organising Secrets.

1. Love it or Loose it – Quite simply get rid of all the stuff. Over 60% of our belongings are left unused for over 6 months at a time! This is taking up unnecessary space in our house and our lives. If you love it keep it, if not, loose it.

2. A Place for Everything and Everything In Its Place - You’ve all heard this a 1000 times but it is the only way to go. Most homes are unorganized for the simple reason that they don’t have a place for everything. Creating more space can be achieved in even the smallest of homes.

3. Like-with-Like - A favourite catch-cry of ours. The simple method of storing items in groups of similar types, is key. It ensures items are fast and easy to find and you know where to put them back.

4. Think Logically - Use your own sense of logic when storing items. Whilst glossy magazines make storage look fantastic, it may not follow your sense of logic. What I mean is, one sense of logic might say store basic household tools in the kitchen, another may say the laundry.

5. The Right Tool for the Job – as they say in the trades. The same applies to organizing. Use the right storage container for the job. For great organising tools, visit www.greenappleorganising.com.au
