Time to put those resolutions into practice.
Here are some helpful hints to get you started.
Set goals for each room - make a list of what you want to accomplish in the next eight weeks. A list for the living room might include sorting your DVD collection or sorting through your magazines.
By having goals for each room you will alleviate the pressure of having to organise the whole house at once. You also get the satisfaction of ticking tasks as you complete them, which is a great motivator to keep going.
Start small, such as a small room in the house that you use the most such as the bathroom or laundry.
Even those seemingly unsuitable spaces, beside the toilet or under the sink, can become usable spaces. Use clever storage units, such as those on wheels, which can be pulled out and pushed back in as required.
Make use of unused door space in the laundry by hanging an over the door hanging rack or hook to hang your smalls such as underwear and socks.
In the bedroom, claim extra storage space under the bed and at the top of the wardrobe. Treasured possessions can be cleverly concealed in storage boxes and storage bags in these areas to cut out mess.
Have a place for your house/car keys. Put them in the same place every single time; it will eventually become a habit.
Have an in-tray: put bills that need to be paid, calls that need to be made, insurance that needs to be sorted, queries and so on in your in-tray.
Set aside a little time, twice a week to deal with paperwork.
If you are trying to recycle, ensure that you have an organised system for waste. Invest in two bins, one for recyclable waste and one for non-recyclable waste, or a bin with multiple compartments, which will allow you to dispose of each type of waste in an orderly and hygienic fashion.
