I receive a lot of emails on organizing and space planning for enhanced storage on a regular basis. There is one site in particular, Messies Anonymous, that I particularly enjoy and feel provides some great content. The information below is from one of their daily emails that received. I hope you find it useful…
“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.
Your organizational life will benefit.”
Happy Organizing! Bridges
