STEP #1 - SORT

In the first step of the system, we sort items into piles of like with like.  No decisions are made about what to keep and what to toss, we just sort and categorize the items into boxes and get it into a workable containers.

STEP #2 - TOSS

Working through one box at a time, we will determine which items should be kept in the space, which ones belong elsewhere, the items you want to give away and the items that can be recycled. 

STEP #3 - ASSIGN

After removing the items you no longer need and deciding which ones will be used in the space, we establish functional zones for the space and determine where the items will be held and if you need new containers for the space. 

STEP #4 - CONTAIN

Choosing the best containers for your favorite or often used items comes down to measuring the size of the piles, shelves, drawers and containers that will accommodate everything with room to spare.  With the new containers on hand, we’ll place the items inside and get them into their new zones.  

STEP #5 - KEEP IT UP

To keep the space organized, it’s important to remember that organizing is a daily practice not a one-time event.  Together, we will establish a simple and easy maintenance schedule that allows you to maintain the space effectively and avoid developing any clutter.


STEP #6 - SIMPLIFY

Your maintenance schedule will provide an opportunity for you to learn to trust in having less stuff.  Having a space that is organized and streamlined will inspire you to re-think the necessity of every new item that comes into your home. 

“Just as you would hire a personal trainer to teach you proper techniques for getting in shape, hiring a professional organizer is an investment in learning how to organize.”

CONTAINER TIPS


  1. •Don’t purchase containers until you know what will go in them and where you plan to keep them.

  2. •Always allow for 25% growth in each container, shelf and/or cabinet.

  3. •Get matching containers - the more they match, the less distracting and cluttered they will appear.

GENERAL

ORGANIZING TIPS


  1. •If you’re organizing a large project, such as a garage or basement, enlist the help of a friend.  You’ll cut the time investment in half and feel less overwhelmed. 

  2. •Work one step at a time.  Sort, then Toss, then Assign.....  Try not to do every step all at once.

SORTING

& TOSSING TIPS


When you find yourself struggling with decision-making, ask yourself:   


  1. 1.Do you love it?  

  2. 2.Do you use it?  

  3. 3.Does it serve you in your life?  

  4. 4.Do you have room for it?


If you find yourself saying “no” to any of these questions, it could be time to simply let the item go.  Consider donating it to someone who really needs it and will give it a renewed purpose and value in life.
