Do you look around your house and see clutter and chaos in every room? Are you so overwhelmed by the clutter and mess that you don’t feel like you can lead the life you dream about? Now is the time to get serious about reorganizing and de-cluttering your home. Sometimes it just takes a little time and maybe some small investments to make your home environment much more liveable.
After you have taken out the trash and stuffed everything out of sight into drawers and closets, you need to consider ways to make your use of your home space more efficient, so the clutter doesn’t immediately creep back up and overwhelm you again. The area where you do your laundry is a good starting point. Arrange things in a manner that minimizes your movements. For example, have everyone in your family deposit their dirty clothes in a centrally located hamper every day before they leave for work or school. Then, instead of wandering all over the house twice a week looking for THEIR dirty clothes, all you have to do is grab the full hamper and head for the washing machine. To get your family’s cooperation, make a simple rule: if your clothes aren’t in the hamper, they don’t get washed. The lesson will be quickly learned.
How much time and energy do you waste finding a large empty space in which to open your ironing board and then trying to get the ungainly thing set up? A great way to save space, time, and frustration is to install a compact fold-down ironing board in a convenient spot near your laundry machines. There are several options available including full sized boards that open out into a room as well as compact boards that fit into smaller spaces. When you are ready to iron, all you have to do is fold the board down and get started. No more pinched fingers, twisted backs, and curses as you wrestle with your old-fashioned board that takes up too much space.
As well as the laundry room, think about other areas of the house where you spend lots of time. Organize your kitchen for the most efficient arrangement of pots, pans and other cooking tools relative to where you will need to use them. Look at your garage or workshop and find ways to make your spaces there more efficient. You might also consider at this time ways to make your home more comfortable and inviting so your family will be less likely to want to let it get all cluttered again.
