The
coming of New Year always kindles a spark of enthusiasm and hope. People make
resolutions, and prepare to welcome new ideas and changes. In support of this
receptive spirit of new beginnings, we’ve curated a list of effective tips to
help you get organised this year.
1.
Dejunk
First
up in our list of getting organised tips is - sorting out the clutter. Clear
the space in your house or office by disposing of clutter and other unwanted
possessions. You may have already finished this once before Christmas, but if
you look around you will find more items that need to be purged from your space
as well as your life to welcome the New Year. It will only help you to get
organised.
Pro
tip -
Allocate
mess into categories – Retain. Throw. Sell. Donate.
Result?
It will leave behind a new, fresh, organised house!
2.
Get your kitchen organised
An organised kitchen is not just about closed doors and drawers. You need to make
sure that every nook and cranny of the kitchen is free from clutter as it’s a
high-traffic space used by almost everyone in the house. To start organising
your kitchen in an effective as well as efficient manner with the least amount
of anxiety it is best to start in an area where it’s easy to conquer clutter.
For instance, you can start with the drawer that holds utensils (if you don’t
have one, make one only dedicated to utensils). Empty it, clean all the
utensils, wipe them thoroughly, sort out the things you’ve gotten out, and put
back only those which fit the purpose – only utensils like serving plates and
other flatware.
Next,
enlarge your focus area. Start emptying every drawer and category wise put the
things on the platform. Once you have emptied all the drawers, start to review
every category and edit stuff that you no longer need or want.
After
you are done with drawers, start with cabinets and so on.
You
will see eventually you will have organised your entire kitchen! But, don’t go
overboard - one area at a time!
3.
Purge your files
Your
folders, as well as cabinets, can become a breeding ground for obsolete papers
and documents. This is the best time to get rid of the old (and unwanted) thus
making room for the fresh and new.
We
recommend you to start with records related to old client projects and finance.
You just have to ask yourself this question – Am I going to need these
documents in the New Year?
4.
Get organised in style
Getting
organised is no more a functional thing; it is nowadays being taken up to
enhance style across space. Let’s look at a few such stylish yet simple and
innovative storage means to get organised.
Storage
containers – Not only are they practical but also provide creative as well as
unique decorating options. You should look for quality shelving and storage container
options online or offline.
Galvanised
boxes – They’re ideal to hold everything from farming gear to cleaning
supplies. You can get them at specialty stores and flea markets at cheaper
rates. Apart from storing and organising things, they enhance the aesthetics of
a place.
Baskets
– You can easily tuck in items of craft, toiletries as well as magazines in
some cute looking baskets.
Concluding
bonus tip –
Looking
for something cheaper? Get your hands on transparent plastic shoeboxes. They
are perfect to store office supplies, items of craft and they stack up wonderfully.
