10 More Organizing Tips

Monday, September 6th, 2010

Getting organized is not a hard thing to do!

Here are 10 More of Madonna’s Organizing Tips to help you get started getting more organized:

1)  Start by measuring the space. Then, decide how the space is going to be used. Start looking around you home to see what you have that can be used. Boxes, baskets, book selves, small tables, small chest drawers, and trunks.

Once you have checked out the house and got all your organizing items together, start seeing what will work for your  space. Use what you can and then decide on what you need to buy if anything. Be flexible.

2)  Place a trash can in your closet to conveniently toss out price tags, dry-cleaner bags and fabric softener sheets that are often left in the clothes.

3) Think vertically. Don’t let those few extra feet between your closet’s top shelf and the ceiling go to waste. My father always told me “you own it from ceiling to floor so use it!”

4) If you have an upstairs, anything you are removing throw down the stairs. It is very satisfying.

5) Put items you use together, Together!

6) Storage containers are a very functional way to get organized. Decorative bandboxes, are perfect for tucking away hats, scarves, and other accessories. They come in  alot of great colors, have fun with them!

7) A Storage Stool can serve as a small hamper, e.g. to store blankets and sweaters.

8 ) If you can not see in the boxes. Label them, you will be glad you did.

9) Put selves in the closet or a book case. This will keep you from stacking boxes and items and allow you quick and easy access.

10) Roll ties to help prevent creasing or wrinkles. This also helps keep the dust off of them.  There all kinds of new containers for ties and belts. Have fun shopping!

I hope all of my Organizing Tips help you start getting More Organized today! :)

7 Tips To Help Your Kids Get Organized

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

Here are some of Madonna’s Tips regarding How To …

Help Your  Kids to get organized!!!!!!!!!

1) Let your child select some bright hangers in her favorite colors.  Clothes are less likely to end up on the floor that way.

2) A baseball cap holder is great for that little league enthusiast.

3) Everyone knows that an over the door shoe rack is great for shoes.  It’s also great for T-shirts, gym clothes, swimsuits, and dance gear.

4) Use plastic storage bins to hold clothes that aren’t used daily … and make sure to label them well.  If your child is too young to read, let him draw a picture so he or she knows what’s inside.

5) Encourage children to make use of all of the racks and shelves in their closets (the ones they can reach, anyway!).

6) Give each child their own colorful laundry hamper.

7) Remind them to put away their school clothes when they remove them, not several hours later when the wrinkles have had time to set in.

Remember parents that a habit takes at least two weeks to become a habit so keep reminding them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope this all Helps You and Your Children get More Organized for All of Your Benefit! :)

Each year, NAPO also conducts a GO Month survey with members of the public to gauge their familiarity with professional organizing as well as their perceived need for the services a professional organizer can provide.

Of 400 adults polled in a November 2008 survey:

  • About 85 percent indicated an awareness of what professionals do
  • 96 percent said they would save time every day by becoming more organized. Among those 96 percent:
    • 15 percent felt they could save more than an hour each day—for a total of more than 15 days per year—if they were more organized at home.
    • 30 percent felt they could save at least 30 minutes each day—or more than an entire week per year—if they were more organized at home
  • 65 percent of respondents noted that their household was at least moderately disorganized
  • 27 percent said they felt disorganized at work (1)
