The Keys to Organizing Success—“Plan S-P-A-C-E”

Plan: What is my goal for this space? What activities need to take place here?

S-P-A-C-E

• Sort:
  • Keep?
  • Trash?
  • Donate or Sell?

• Purge:
  • Make Decisions: Purge everything that doesn’t relate to your plan. By purging, you free up space for the things you do use, need, and love!
  • Ask yourself: Do I love it?   Do I need it?     Do I use it?
  • Categorize: If it’s a keeper, put like with like in piles

• Assign Homes:
  • Location! Location! Location!
  • Homes should be determined based on frequency of use

• Containerize:
  • Buy containers or repurpose containers you already have
  • Get containers only after deciding what you need to store

• Equalize:
  • Use your system and make adjustments as needed
  • If something isn’t working, try something else until you find what works
