So now are you ready for a fresh new start this spring season?

Let the organizing begin!

Tip # 1

First things first. Decide when, where, and what.

When will you begin to start organizing your home? Pick a date.

Where will you start first?  Pick a room in the house to start with.

What is your goal?  Focus in on one goal.

Once you have decided when, where, and what, you’ll need to start gathering helpful tools.

I recommend bringing a collapsible basket, such as a fold down empty mesh laundry hamper, and two large bags of different colors. These different colored bags are great for sorting. Use the colored bag for items you wish to get rid of and items you can donate can go into a clear bag.

To decide which items you should keep and which you should get rid of ask yourself these questions:

·        

I

·         Have you used this item within the last 12 months?

·         Do you need it for legal or tax purposes?

·         If it’s broken, will you fix it? Is it worth repairing?

Upload and share pictures of your sorting fun. Show us your bags and bins filled with sorted items and the results. Before and after pictures are the best and very popular these days!

Happy organizing and may the best organizer win!

Uncluttered Domain in the Media

From the printed press to the worldwide web, Uncluttered Domain Inc. has been making its way around the media. With a cover story and a blog, Uncluttered Domain Inc. has been sharing some of our insightful information and useful tips for a great New Year. 

Debbie Ginsberg President and Co-Founder of Uncluttered Domain Inc. shared some helpful organizing tips in this week’s cover story for the weekly local paper The Jewish Home. Readers read up on how to organize some of the most cluttered rooms in our homes, such as the kitchen, the toy room, and the home office. 

In case you missed it, check out some of our tips from this week’s cover story:

• Everyday Pantry vs. Backup Pantry. Having two pantries is the key to an organized kitchen. Find a place in your kitchen that works for a smaller pantry where you can store your everyday items, such as bread for school lunches or granola bars. Things like boxes of brownie mix, jars of pickles, or even your mixer can go in a deeper, bigger pantry. 

• Sort by age. To make sure each kid has the age appropriate toys accessible to them, try to organize the toy shelf or storage unit by age. You can also sort by gender. The Lego sets don’t need to be accessible to your three year old and the dollies don’t need to be accessible to your boys. When the toys are organized in a way that caters to each child’s specific interests, each child feels special and therefore responsible for their own toys.

• Magazine boxes are a creative and fun option for storing the folders you need immediately. Pick out decorative magazine boxes that work with the décor of your home office. These holders work well with any 1/3 cut folders and can be found at almost any store that sells organizing tools. 

By following Debbie’s helpful organizing tips, we hope that readers will get a fresh, clean, and hopefully stress-free start to 2014!
