Strategy 6 SORT

Home Organizing for Beginners: Organizing, cleaning and time management strategies

Does the thought of going through all your stuff in order to get organized make you feel anxious and overwhelmed? You are not alone. What I’ve learned over time and in talking with a lot of moms is that getting started is HARD because we think we have to get rid of a lot of our stuff in order to get organized and we’re just not ready until we are ready. Up until a couple of years ago I had every piece of artwork that my kids ever made stashed away in tons of boxes and bins shoved here, there and everywhere! And truth be told, I still have all the daily reports from when they were in day care! I kept them all! They’re all 3 hole punched and stored in binders tucked away in my closet.

Minimalism seems to be all the rage right now. They say, just get rid of your stuff. It’s so much easier to keep your home tidy and organized. While that is a true statement, it is in fact easier to be organized if you have less stuff, it’s not a requirement. You can be organized and keep your stuff. Isn’t that a relief?!

As someone who is or feels like they’re just starting their home organizing journey you want to be set up for lasting home organizing solutions, right? In order to make that happen you’ll have to do something different than you’ve done before or what society tells us.

Instead of starting with cute bins and resolving to just get rid of everything, you can start with SORT your stuff. In this episode I’ll share with you what it means to SORT your stuff, why you need to and how to make it happen.
