How to be more organized by ItsBrit

"less is more!"

How I did it: It too a few weeks of purging and serious cleaning and going through things one room at a time to get started.  I donated, recycled and threw things out.  I found several sites that had great ideas as well as home decorating/design shows.  I purchased storage boxes and baskets and files and got to work labeling and sorting.  Now I keep up with it every week and it's not such a big job.

Lessons & tips: Clothes:  If you haven't worn it in a year, get rid of it
Misc papers:  keep receipts, bills, statements all filed in file folders according to month
Don't let things go too long or it will feel like you're starting over
Use boxes and baskets for easy access but that still keep things looking tidy

Resources: I found these 2 sites to be really helpful Style at home

and Organizing Your Life the Easy Way as well as some ideas from TLC's Trading Spaces and also Clean Sweep on HGTV
