Home Organizing: Where to Start

July 1, 2016 by Jessica Leave a Comment

Just the idea of decluttering  and organizing your home can be overwhelming. It seems almost impossible to find the motivation to clean up and organize your home because you simply don’t know where to begin. With Organized by Jm, you don’t have to do it alone!

Start Here:

There are some basic tips and questions to ask yourself when you decide to make the step towards bettering your life. The truth is in any home, the “stuff” is coming in faster then we are moving it out. In order to avoid this or slow the process down, you need to have a plan. Maybe you would like to have a garage sale or donate unused or unwanted items.

The first important piece of this process is, you must know what you have. Often we purchase duplicates of things in our home because we cannot find them, or we forget about them because they are not in a place where we see it.

During our time together there are questions that I always initially ask my clients to figure out their needs, wants and hopes for their space. These questions can help to put in waperspective for you, what is really most important to you:

There are some questions that I then want you to ask yourself. This always helps to get the ball rolling if you are feeling a bit stuck.

  • How many of these do I really need?
  • How many of these do I actually use?
  • When was the last time I used this?

Purging, as I always say, is essential to organizing. Without moving things out, we are just moving the “stuff” around the house. I don’t want anyone to ever feel that an organizer is going to come in their home, and throw out all of their stuff. These are your items and they mean something to you, and as a client- YOU mean everything to ME.

We all like to hold onto items because we feel like we have to.

For example, birthday or Christmas cards, maybe a physical gift someone gave us. We feel like we need to keep these items because if we got rid of them we would feel guilty, or obligated but the truth is – you will feel so much better after they are gone from our space, as they are taking up space!

Holding onto items “just in case” will end up causing you unneeded stress in the long run. Storage space is limited, and you need to take advantage of every bit of it that you have. When you make the decision to purchase an item that will stay in your home, make sure to have a plan for that item, and make sure you need it.

We hear that your basements are some of the bigges We hear that your basements are some of the biggest pain point in your home…..

The secret? IT TAKES TIME AND EFFORT! Sorry friends, we can’t sugar coat it. But we are here to help!

When it comes to basement organizing we know it’s years of delayed decisions, keepsakes and inheritances, and holiday items you (might) only use once a year. 

You may find it daunting but we LOVE to go through every bin, box and tote to sort and categorize each item you have! We promise our systems make it SIMPLE for you to make decisions on what stays and what goes and that’s the hardest part! You can then leave it to us to create you a function, tidy space without you having to even lift a finger. 

We will help you to determine what you love, use and want to keep what REALLY is worth saving and taking up space in your home. 

If you’re overwhelmed by your basement or storage space, we would love nothing more than to help create a space you our proud of!

COMMENT below if your basement could use a little love, or ASK us any questions you need!

Can you see the difference (SWIPE 👉🏻)? Ther Can you see the difference (SWIPE 👉🏻)?

There was no purging done in this closet, just re-homing of items that did not belong in this craft closet!

Before: items were not easily found, mismatching bins causes visual clutter, multiple categories being housed in one space. 

AFTER: everything can be seen at a glance, matching bins, visually pleasing on the eye, labels are clear and concise. 

These are the things that bring organization to life! Do you have a craft closet that looks more like the before? Send us your space and let us walk you through how to get your craft space from disarray to organized!
