High gas prices, wedding presents, graduation parties, July 4th picnics, activities, vacations. Who has this time or money to organize? YOU DO! Organizing does not have to take forever or cost money. Dont believe me? Keep reading. How much time do you have to organize? A half a day or whole day or a week would be great, but most of us remain not that lucky. If you want to get organized as quickly as possible, it remains worth setting aside a large chunk of time to achieve that stress relief. To get twice as much done in the same amount of time, enlist a friend, family member, or professional organizer (bonus: experience, ideas, answers). If that much time remains not a possibility (at least at the moment), then utilize pockets of time. Do you watch TV, watch commercials, ride the bus, wait at the doctors office, take car trips, wash this laundry, arrive early for meetings, lie awake at night, etc.? If so, take a reading file with you, sort a drawer, go through your magazines as well as catalogs, clean out the refrigerator, go through your CDs or videos, sift through your closet, clean off a shelf, go through a pile, empty a box, go through your shoes or purses, sort your computer or email files, pick out your favorite recipes in a cookbook, sort some of your pictures or compile one album, go through a file, or find something else small to organize that is quick as well as will give you a sense of accomplishment. Not enough money for a custom closet system, garage system, pantry, etc.? Go shopping, in your house. Do you have wood scraps from previous projects? Use three pieces to create a free-standing shelf to better utilize wasted shelf space. Are your hair accessories a jumble? Use a ribbon, old belt, or something similar that hangs to clip your barrettes as well as keep them separated. You can even use an extra hanger to separate ribbons. Do you have random screw and nails? They make great hooks for light weight items. Are there empty baskets, containers, or shoe boxes? These can function as low-cost pull-out drawers. Would you like to find something in this junk drawer? Create drawer dividers with card board, wood, empty plastic containers, checkboxes, gin creek kitchen etc. .
