Are you looking for some organizing rules to help keep your home and office tidy<\/a>? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you want a simple way to keep things neat throughout the year? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to getting organized<\/a>, what rules do you think you need to follow?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you have to keep things tidy and neat at all hours of the day?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you need to purchase organization supplies? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Actually, there\u2019s only a few rules you need to follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this post, you’ll find three key organization rules you need to follow if you want to maintain order in your space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get ready, get set, it\u2019s time to organize!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Select what you want to organize.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This may sound a bit hokey, but it is very important to decide on what you want to organize before you begin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s the difference between organizing your garage<\/a> versus your kitchen\u2019s junk drawer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These two projects involve different items, a different frames of mind and different amounts of time to complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before you get started on any organizing project, be really specific about what you\u2019ll be working on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is it big project or a small one? Will it take an hour or two to complete or several days and weeks to finish? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where specifically is this project<\/a> taking place?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sort items.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This second rule involves taking what you already have and placing items into some sort of recognizable pattern.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sorting is like putting items through a giant funnel; the more you sort, the more similarly grouped the items will be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best way to approach sorting is to do so in broad strokes and then work your way down to more fine detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, if you\u2019ve got a cluttered desk<\/a>, the easiest way to sort things is to decide what you need to keep versus what you need to trash or recycle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019ve gotten through that initial sorting session, you can then group like items with like items, such as files, books, office supplies and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Store items.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ve selected and sorted, and now it\u2019s time to keep everything contained so you can easily find things when you need them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Defining storage locations is paramount to keeping things organized; it\u2019s like you are giving items a home of their own. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take a moment <\/a>to figure out where you are going to keep materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the example above, you might decide to keep your office supplies in a drawer of your desk, your books in a bookcase and files in a filling rack or filing cabinet.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019ve finished using an item, you\u2019ll know exactly where to put it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
