tidying up: quick tricks

approaches for your consideration

Start Small

If you’re worried about being overwhelmed, start with a small area or a project that you find easy and fun. For example, if you love cooking, start by making your most-used items & ingredients accessible and easy to clean. Small, impactful improvements to your space are great to get the ball rolling! Appreciate what you love as you go and you’ll see progress in no time.

Don’t Hide It

As you find things you may not need or want, don’t hide them away! Separating with our stuff can be hard, but putting things in the back of the closet or in storage to worry about later will not benefit you in the long run. If you’re not ready to part with something, that’s okay. But save your precious space for what you really love and use, so you can enjoy life fully!

Memories Last

Thanks to Marie Kondo, we’ve learned to leave nostalgia for last. It’s too easy to get caught up in the memories and best to hone your ability to identify what matters first before tackling any items with deep personal meaning. Put those things aside to handle later. Once you’ve decluttered more of your space, you will have a greater sense of what you really cherish and what you’re ready to let go of.

My entryway. I love hooks! I don’t have enough space for a coat rack - but they tend to bury things anyway. I love having everything I need to go out right by the door! #organization #entryway #studioapartment #smallspaces #organized
