In the words of Yoda, 'do or do not', can be applied to an organizing project, too. Once you dive into a project, things can get chaotic and that feeling of being overwhelmed can overcome you. Arm yourself with a few do's and don'ts to help avoid some common pitfalls and keep your project humming along.
- DON'T buy containers first. An ORGANiZiNG mantra.
- DO sort and purge to know what needs to be stored and how.
- DON'T organize the clutter. What?
- DO de-clutter, then organize what remains.
- DON'T rely on your memory to know what's behind a cabinet door or in a drawer.
- DO use labels to clearly mark which items are kept where.
- DON'T overlook items you already own that can be used as containers.
- DO re-purpose everyday household pieces, using them in unconventional ways.
