Do you find it hard to find your items after you put them away?
Can you find what you need when you need it?
Storage of some items are essential but the key is easy retrieval…and the ability to put it back easily! Here are some great tips from The Organizing Lady:
Ask yourself two questions as you organize your storage.
1. Will this item be easy to return?
2. Will this item be easy to get out?
If what you need is hard to reach when you need to retrieve it — you will frustrate yourself. If what you have gotten out is difficult to return you will be tempted to leave it out rather than struggle to put it back.
Several secrets are important:
• Do not crowd your items into storage space. It is hard to work with jammed in things.
• Put your grouped items into baskets and label the baskets with bold print (and maybe a picture especially if you have kids) so you will know where things are located.
• Put the baskets on shelves. Make your items easy to return and retrieve.
Happy Organizing! Bridges
