Solution to Chaos

Solution to Chaos

Solution to Chaos

Everything is everywhere? Can’t find it (it’s here somewhere) so you buy a new one? This is more common than you’d think. Save time, money and frustration by being organized. Psychologically, it may be a daunting task to tackle a chaotic closet or room. Do as motivational speaker, Tony Robbins, suggests: make it fun or make it easy.

Basically, you will need boxes and labels. Avoid writing directly on a box as you may wish to use a particular box for different items in the future. Labels are best.

Put on some great music and start sorting. Be honest with yourself if you have actually used something in the last year or two. If not, give it away or sell it. Someone else has a use for it.

If you do not have enough time to complete the room or closet, shut the door, put a lid on each box and come back another time. You will have no piles ~ just boxes ~ so there is no chaos to get in your way until then.
