Wendy’s Top 5 Organizing Tips

1. One major mistake made when trying to get organized is to go shopping FIRST! Until you sort and cull you really have no idea what items will be left to organize and what type of a home they need.

2. When decluttering, do it one drawer, shelf or cupboard at a time, and DON’T move on to the next area until it’s done. Odds are you’ll never go back to the first area you chose to cull.

3. Designate a shelf in the fridge just for leftovers – that way everyone will know that’s the ‘eat this first’ shelf!

4. Every time you leave the house take your ‘to read’ file or a magazine from the stack cluttering up your living room. Perfect for waiting in line at the grocery store, hair salon or public transit commute.

5. Keep seldom used pantyhose/tights in plastic shoe bins up on a shelf or in the closet. Don’t take up space in your dresser if you’re only using them a few times a year!
