Organized Living: How to Organize Your Home and Your Life

The pandemic has gotten many people down and left in a mess. But this can easily be turned around given the time we have nowadays. Through various tips and tricks, we will help you re-organize your life.

Organizing your life can be challenging, especially during a pandemic. We all feel that we don't need to do it since we're all at home anyways. However, the organization is as important now as before because it motivates and reduces stress and other adverse life factors affecting our overall performance.

Organizing Your Closet

A person's closet tells a lot about their personality and how organized they are. A messy closet is a usual tell that a person doesn't have much self-awareness.

Closet and Self-Awareness

During this modern time, we rely on our fashion sense to tell people our story. A person who continuously wears the same clothes repeatedly can think that they have problems with their daily lives. It also shows a person who doesn't invest much in their personal life. People with messy closets lead to experience a lack of self-awareness because they end up forgetting about the other clothes they don't want.

This can be problematic if you're going to spice up your outfit every day. Some people even end up forgetting some of their clothes entirely, to only see them again a couple of years in the future.

If you want to get your life organized during the pandemic, organizing your closet should be the first thing you should do. There are many ways you can do this.

Invest in a Walk-in Closet

This is our primary suggestion for people who have a family or have a considerable clothing collection. Walk-in closets are far easier to organize than typical closets. Plus, you can put all your clothes on display for you and everyone to see.

Walk-in closets are beneficial to organizing your life because you can start scheduling the clothes you want to wear for the week. You can also do it for your other family members or maybe even make it a weekend activity for everyone to participate in. Better yet, you can purchase a walk-in closet organizer to streamline the process for you. It gives you more time to do other things and saves up the need to organize it every time. An organized walk-in closet can lead to better self-awareness and improved fashion sense.

Fold Your Clothes

This is for people who are single and have small closets. Hanging your clothes can take up a lot of space, and it can cover other clothes inside the cabinet. By folding your clothes, you can open up more space while also putting other clothes in view. Through this process, you can choose the clothes you want to wear neatly. Additionally, they're always ready if you're planning to put them in your luggage. This is the best tip we have for people who are always on the move.

Now that your fashion sense is organized, it's time to move on to other things in your home.

Utilize Storage Boxes

Clutter is one of the main reasons we stay disorganized and stressed for an extended period. This can affect our overall performance, especially when we need to find equipment and tools to help us in our jobs. One way to declutter is by placing the items we need in storage boxes.

Start asking yourself which items you need inside your home and which you can live without. You don't necessarily have to get rid of the things you don't need, especially if they have sentimental value, but you can place them into storage boxes for easy retrieval later. Label each box by category so you know which package you will need to retrieve in the future.

Have a Small Calendar in Your Home Office

People tend to put out tasks, especially if they don't see it in front of them. They do it more if the job is far away from its deadline. This can lead to missed deadlines and poor performance. This is why it's essential to have a small calendar in your home office.

In your small calendar, start labeling tasks by their utmost importance. Better yet, used colored pens to signify this so that labels won't crowd your calendar. The sense of urgency will always push people to work on them once they see it. This will help you finish projects earlier or at least on time.

Here are a couple of ways you can get yourself organized during the pandemic. First, it's still essential to have some fashion sense even if you don't go out anymore. You still have to look good in those Zoom meetings. Additionally, storage boxes are a lifesaver when it comes to putting away items you don't need. Lastly, small calendars still play a significant role in our lives, especially when bringing a sense of urgency into our work. By following all of these tips, you should get yourself organized in no time. Many homeowners learn the hard way that organizing mistakes during the design phase can lead to long-term chaos in their living space.
