Wanting to be organized is one thing… getting organized is an entire beast. Making the decision to become more organized and streamline your life deserves a round of applause.
YOU GOT THIS!
If you begin to experience your excitement wears off and the realities of the to-dos begin to set in, it can feel overwhelming and ultimately cause you to scrap your plans. It might make sense for you to enlist some help decluttering, purging, organizing, and streamlining.
You have many choices when it comes to getting help when you don’t know where to start. Below are two you may want to consider:
- Hiring a service
- Emulating a pro
Hiring a service: No matter what you need to have organized or streamlined, there’s likely someone out there who specializes in that particular area. From large-scale cleanup to fine-tuning and creating functional systems for everyday life, there is someone out there who has the solutions you need.
Here are some examples:
Hire a lawn service to do a large-scale trim and cleanup of your yard. Consider hiring them for weekly maintenance to help you keep your yard in great shape. This can save you time to focus on other tasks that benefit your home.
- I personally LOVE YouTube and all of the inspiration and knowledge that it brings. Check out just a few of the home organizing vloggers that I believe will inspire you too.
- Hire an organizer to revamp your private spaces. Professional organizers can help you declutter your closets and create dynamic spaces. They can make suggestions for closet redesigns and have excellent tips for maximizing space and helping you purge items that you simply don’t need. Your spaces may need a facelift or restructuring to be more effective. Professional organizers have knowledge of the most current trends and products that will help you be more organized and more efficient with your space.
- Hire an organizer to build a better pantry. Pantry spaces have the potential to waste space and money. A disorganized and inefficient pantry can make it hard to know what you have on hand and what you need from the store. Having your pantry well designed, fully stocked, and easy to navigate can make meal prep easier and save you money with your food budget.
Emulating a pro: If budgeting funds for a service is unappealing or impractical, consider emulating the pros. You may want to consider sites like YouTube, Pinterest, or Netflix which help in making it easier to get inspired with all sorts of ideas to get your home together. They are some of the most creatively organized people on the planet.
Here are some examples:
Use Pinterest to DIY your organization. Simply type the keywords DIY Organization Tips for an endless supply of ideas. You can start a Pinterest board that stores the pins you love. The more narrowed down you get with your search, the better the options become. You will find yourself discovering links to websites, blog posts, and virtual videos that can teach you everything you need to know about DIY organization.
Do you know Marie Kondo? Kondo is the Netflix sensation inspiring viewers to become joyfully organized. Her Netflix series is making an impact on people who want to be clutter-free. You can catch her series or follow her on social media to learn DIY tricks of the trade.
You needn’t feel overwhelmed at the thought of becoming organized. You can easily hire someone to help you get things in order or discover unlimited options for DIY. Where there’s a will, there’s a way to become more organized and more streamlined.
