Wondering how to keep a closet organized<\/a> at home? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking for some practical ways to tidy up<\/a> and keep things neat on a regular basis?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ve just organized your closet. You’re proud of your hard work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But in just three days’ time, the closet is a mess.<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do you keep a closet organized after all your hard work?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this post, you’ll find a few tips to help you keep your closet organized<\/a> for the long haul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assign specific storage areas.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whether you\u2019re organizing a closet<\/a>, room, or house, you should always give items specific storage locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why? This makes it super easy for you to easily replace what you recently removed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s no question as to where something should go once you are finished using it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haven’t yet assigned specific storage areas in your closet? Make a point to do so now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance, you can decide to store shirts on the left side of the closet and slacks on the right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Store hats in hatboxes on the top shelf and store shoes on a storage rack on the floor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where are you going to store articles of clothing in your closet?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make tidying up a habit.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What’s the number one way to keep a closet organized? It’s to tidy up<\/a> your closet on a regular basis!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take a few minutes every day to put things away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To get started, you can replace things in the evening as you get things ready for the next day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might find it helpful to make tidying up a habit that follows one of your existing habits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, you could quickly tidying things up after changing out of your work clothes or after you brush your teeth before bed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make the process easy and motivating. Set a timer<\/a>, put on some of your favorite songs, and get to it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just five minutes worth of work every weekday can save you from hours of reorganization during the weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you find yourself debating whether or not to take a few minutes to put things back, ask yourself this simple question: \u201cDo I want to spend a few minutes now\u2026or spend several hours later?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IMmediately store clean laundry.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Keep things tidy by and store clean laundry as soon as it’s dried and folded. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The longer you let clothing sit around, the less inclined you\u2019ll be to put things away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, after laundering and drying, fold up, hang, and place clothing away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might also want to straighten out any other articles of clothing in the closet that have gone amiss. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, this same line of thinking applies to dirty clothes. Toss dirty clothes into the hamper as soon as possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t tidy up when you\u2019re in a rush.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, it\u2019s not the best idea in the world to tidy up<\/a> a closet when you\u2019re in a rush. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throwing clothes haphazardly into a closet before you catch your bus for work isn\u2019t a great start to the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, doing so might create even more work for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may accidentally misplace your favorite shirt or end up knocking things off of shelves or hangers! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why do more work if you can avoid it entirely? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do yourself a favor, put things in order, and get organized<\/a> when you\u2019re not in a rush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
