Organizing and Decorating Tips & Tricks!

1.  The weather is changing.  Great time to empty your closet and organize it before changing over to your winter wardrobe!  Try things on to PROVE you love them and will wear them.  If not you know what to do – donate them!  You can do it.

2.  When decorating for the holidays  look at all the decorations.  Has your style changed?  Are there things you really don’t care for any more?  It’s ok, donate them.  Someone else will love them and now you have  room for new things to love.

3.  Each new season is  a great time to let go of things that you no longer love.  What doesn’t fit in your decor style any longer?  Let it go.  As you clean and dust it’s the perfect time to refresh your home with new organization ideas.

4.  Do a brain dump.  Write down everything that is on your mind that you feel you need to do.  Everything.  Now look at the list and seriously decide, what is really important.  Schedule time in your calendar for the most important things.  You know you can only do so much in a day.  Prioritizing will help you take care of what’s important.  Writing everything down will help to clear your mind so you can focus on what needs to be done.  Don’t forget to relax and enjoy the process!

5.  Save time packing for vacation.  Make a packing list on your computer.  Start by making a basic list for any overnight trip.  What do you always pack when being away from home overnight.  Now keep that list and add to it.  Do a save as and now make another list such as camping list.    What additional items do you always take when going camping?  You get the idea.  Now you won’t forget things because you aren’t rewriting your list each time.  Make a list for all the vacations or getaways you like to take.  Are you a hunter?  Beach vacation?  Ski vacation?  Now be spontaneous, print your list, pack and go!
