Some Quick and Easy Organizing Tips
This week, we asked our friend and professional organizer, Nicole Gabai, to give you some expert advice on de-cluttering.
When starting any de-cluttering project, its best to work on it for three hours at a time. Don’t dedicate all day as this causes ‘burn out.’ It’s a process that needs time to sink in every step of the way. Once you have your space where you want it to be, maintenance is easy with about 15 minutes a day. If you can only get to your maintenance time once a week, then 1 hour or so should do it. Ask yourself, “Do I love this item? Do I use this item?” if the answer is no, then you have a good start on getting rid of ‘stuff.’ Only do one section of the house or office at a time.
