the space for placement and storage. Measurements will be taken, that oversized appliance sitting on your kitchen counter will get a little more scrutiny, and if it is still a keeper, our job is to find it a home. Step three: is everyone’s favorite step! The step where you get to put stuff in pretty little containers and attach cute labels, usually. We’ll guide you on what to consider when choosing labels and containers. It’s important to label your spice cabinet, but no need to label the rice container sitting in your pantry. (We get it. It’s rice.) Let’s not get label crazy. Our job is to keep you in check.
This is the planning stage. Zoning is simply taking into consideration space limitations, need, frequency of use, and sentimentality. As organizers, our job is to map out
Step four: it’s important to keep that neat and tidy space maintained. We teach fun and easy tricks such as our Timer Technique, and kids love a 20-Minute Tidy!! What about when that clutter eventually begins to pile up again? We encourage a monthly purge (Step 1). Once a space is tidy, we repeat the first three steps to maintain. Your
organization systems should be simple and manageable. One Organized Mama’s purpose is to make organization accessible to as many people as possible through classes, consultations, colorful printables/guides, and our P.O.I.S.E. Organizer program. Organization is simply the relationship between our stuff and our time. I leave you with this one simple tip: Set the timer on your phone for 20 minutes. Grab a trash bag and a laundry basket. Walk around your home and place trash in the bag and items that can be donated into the basket. Once your timer dings, it’s time to stop. Take out the trash and place those donations in your car ready to drop off tomorrow. Congratulations, you’ve just completed your first TIMER TECHNIQUE. Until next time.V
