A Quick Tip to Avoid a Costly Organizing Mistake!
Mistake:
Decide to get organized and run out and buy organizing products!
Why this is a Mistake…
Deciding to get organized is fantastic! The problem is purchasing without purging first!
The first step to getting organized in a space is determining what you have. After you have all of the contents laid out and sorted you can decide what to keep, and finally, what to pass on or discard. If we purchase a storage solution before we know what we are storing, we run the risk of adding more clutter. I have seen many cases where the main source or clutter is actually unused storage containers never put to good use! When we go to stores such as The Container Store, there are so many organized beautiful displays we may be tempted to purchase. My advice is always the same, find out what you need to store before you purchase a solution to store it.
You will be happily surprised at how easy it is to create the perfect solution once you know what you are looking to store!
