Don’t Make This Organizing Mistake!

You’re ready. You’ve committed to getting your home organized. You have a plan and even a schedule. You’re excited.

Don’t be so excited that you run out and buy things to help you get organized. Magazine holders. Clear bins with lids. Cute boxes that you can label. Baskets.

I know. They’re so cute! And practical! They will work so well to help you get organized!

Until they don’t.

Until they don’t fit where you thought they would or you can’t use them for what you thought you could use them for.

Declutter first. Decide what items you’re going to keep. Then you can decide what storage or organization tools will best help you.

And one other thing. Don’t forget to measure the space you’re going to be using before you buy something to fit that space.

Ask me how I know.
