1)
I am so sorry I have been behind in my posts.
This past week included root canal x2, psycho rabbit, new water heater, dealing
with personal property taxes, and life in general J

I posted out of order! I should have discussed “defining
your zones” before we dove into organizing them. So without further ado…
Defining
Your Zones
A zone is an area of your house that you
have dedicated for specific purpose(s). These areas do not necessarily need
tangible walls dividing them. In our house, our zones are defined more by
physical boundaries rather than activities. With that being said; here are some
helpful hints on how to determine your zones
-
What is the space currently used for?
o
A dumping ground?
o
Dust bunny corral?
o
Unsure?
-
What would you like it used for?
o
Is your dining room currently a hot mess of junk
that gets dumped there rather than being put away? Would you like to eat meals
at your dining room table rather than in a chair in the hearth room? If you
answered “yes” to both of these questions, you might be living at my house J
-
Can this space be multifunctional?
o
A dining room may also double as a game room,
study room, or craft room but a bathroom should only be used as a bathroom.
-
What space do you need more of?
o
More office space for files?
o
Storage space so you can park in your garage?
o
Dedicated area for cleaning supplies?
o
More accessible coat closet
o
Usable linen closet
Answering these questions (write them down in your BINDER)
will help you as you organize and de-clutter your home. And as always – BE FLEXIBLE.
You may realize if you move all your cleaning supplies into the hall bathroom,
you just freed up valuable real estate for linen storage.
Up next, organizing your cleaning supplies.
