3 Time-Tested Secrets For Creating Your Organized Life
To ignore these is to commit organizing suicide and rob yourself of the peace that comes with minimal effort on your part…Let’s begin.
Secret #1 — Inventory your possessions. Start by taking photos or videos of what you already have. It doesn’t have to be a huge project, but is an essential first step. Don’t spend days or months on doing this but this simple step is essential on multiple levels.
Our minds sometimes don’t tell the entire story. When you walk in your front door — what do you see? Do you realize that your mind does a quick inventory of everything in the room?
If your entry way is a mess, your mind makes quick notes as you walk into the space. When you take pictures of your space, those tell the real story. Save these and view them for quick reference.
Bonus Tip: Go deep in taking your photos. Take detailed images inside closets and drawers. It has a double benefit by letting you see the full scope of what you have and can also be used as proof for an insurance claim for loss if that should ever happen.
