Set Your Goals
Like with any resolution, you must set goals. Concerning home organization, you need to know what you want to achieve, such as organizing your kitchen, transforming the basement into a play area for the children, or cleaning the garage. Whatever your goals are, jot them down and place in a high-traffic area so you view them daily and slowly complete tasks on the list.
Get the Entire Family On-Board
When living in a busy household, you don’t want to be the only family member who wants a more organized home. The best way to get the family on board is to call a daily meeting and get each member to organize and clean their spaces, such as the garage, backyard, playroom, bathroom, or bedroom. Since everyone clutters a home, they must also clean and organize it.
Start Small
Organizing and decluttering your home can be overwhelming, so don’t attempt to do it all at once. That means don’t tackle the largest spaces, typically attics, garages, and basements. Instead, focus on smaller spaces within those rooms, such as attic, garage, or basement closet shelves. Then work your way around that room; the next thing you know, the entire room will be decluttered and organized.
Eliminate Duplicate Items
The kitchen is often the greatest source of duplicate items. Most have several mixing bowls, saucepans, and cookie sheets. Unless you’re regularly preparing massive meals for friends and family, it’s unlikely you need multiple items. The extra kitchenware can be sold at a thrift shop, donated to a local charity, or sold in a garage sale. Always think about what you use throughout the week and eliminate the rest of the items. If the item hasn’t been used in several weeks then you don’t need it.
Find a Climate-Controlled Storage Unit that Meets Your Needs
Finding a climate-controlled storage unit is the next best option if you have reached your goals and followed these tips. Suppose you have encountered artwork or temperature and humidity-sensitive sentimental items that you can’t part ways with. In that case, a climate-controlled unit will help protect those items from the elements in a secure facility.
