Having an organised, tidy home is good for our mental and physical health. Here, we will share some of our tips and let you know how our low cost storage Earlsfield will help. 

It has been proven that having a good decluttering so your home can be tidy and organised is beneficial for your mental and physical health. However, if you have a busy home, with children, pets, work etc. it can be hard to stay on top of organising and tidying. It is understandable as spending time with loved ones in the evenings and at weekends is a much better use of time than tidying! 

But, there are some very ways in which you can make staying organised and on top of tidying easier. And our low cost storage Earlsfield will help.

Within this article, we will share our tips for having an organised, tidy home and let you know how our low cost storage Earlsfield will help. 

Before Your Get Started With Organising 

To make your organising easier, it is a good idea to do a few things before you get started with the organising. Within this section, we will look at what you should do first. 

Schedule In Your Organising Days 

Organising is more often than not is not a quick job. Cleaning out a wardrobe can take some time, particularly if you need to decide what to keep, give away, donate etc. 

It is a really good idea to schedule in your organising days and to spread out the work involved over these days. Put these days into your diary and/or calendar so you know that you are busy on these days. 

Make Sure Your Have Organisers And Labels

It is a good idea to make sure you have some way of organising items together such as plastic containers. You will also want to make sure that you have some labels or, if you want to be very professional, consider buying a label maker. 

Buy Cleaning Supplies

Clearing out wardrobes, drawers and emptying spaces is bound to bring some dirt to light. Make sure you have cleaning supplies like a mop, broom, paper towels, and disinfectant handy so you can get your home nice and clean whilst you organise. 

Look Into Where You Can Donate Items 

Whilst you are organising your home, chances are you will come across a lot of items that you no longer need but are still in good condition. 

Before you begin organising, look into local charity shops and check to see if there are any items they are in need of or any items they are no longer taking in. If you have larger items, such as sofas, wardrobes or chests of drawers, you should see if there are any charity shops or secondhand shops that would be able to take these off your hands. 

Getting Started With Organising 

Now you are ready to get started with your organisation. Within this section, we will talk you through some of our top tips and let you know how low cost storage Earlsfield will help. 

Have A Plan Of Action

As with most things, before you properly get started with your organisation project, make a plan. A plan will help you to see all that you need/want to do and from there you can gauge how long it will all take you to complete. 

Think about what and where you need to organise, breaking every room down into each task. For example, in your kitchen, you will need to break it down into each cupboard, drawer and utensil pot. Once everything is written down, be honest with yourself about how long it will take you to go through and organise. It is okay for one room to take an entire day or an entire weekend. There is no rush to finish. 

Do It A Room At A Time

As we have already said, there is no rush to do everything all at once. In order to keep you motivated and to stop you from feeling overwhelmed, it is really important that you do your organising one room at a time. 

This will make the whole thing much more manageable which will help you to stay on track with it all. 

Declutter As You Organise 

As you are sorting and organising each room, you will come across many items that you no longer want or need. In order to make your home as organised as it can possibly be, it is a good idea to declutter and deal with these sorts of items as you are working your way through the room. 

When it comes to decluttering, it is a good idea to choose a method that works for you, such as The Four Box Method. This helps you to organise your belongings into four boxes – Keep, Give Away, Throw Away and Storage. 

Once your items are sorted into these boxes, you must make sure to remove the boxes and items from your house as soon as possible. All the items in the Storage box can be brought to our low cost storage in Earlsfield. 

Make It Fun 

Organising, decluttering and tidying can all be seen as chores. And chores are not often seen as being fun but there are ways that you can make it fun. You could play your favourite music or think of fun rewards for when you finish a room, such as going to the cinema or having your favourite meal. 

If your entire family is helping and this includes children, you could make it into a game. Creating a chart and giving them a sticker for each part of their room they organise. Once their chart is full, they could get a present. 

Ask For Help

This brings us nicely to our next tip – ask for help. 

If you live with other people, they should all be helping because it is their home too. If you live alone, it is still a good idea to ask for help, if you need it. Your friends and family will be happy to help and it could be another way to make it more fun. 

Take Breaks 

We have already talked about how you should take time with your organising project but it is also important to take breaks. 

You should take breaks whilst you are organising to have a cup of tea and to eat but you should also have entire days where you take a complete break. You will only wear yourself out if you don’t allow yourself breaks and periods of rest.
