15 Minutes A Day To Organize Your Home

By: Jill Borash

If you really want to organize your home but get distracted easily, the 15 minutes every day approach may be the perfect solution for you. If you do not have a large amount of time to devote to getting organized, this is also a good approach for you. So how can you best use this kind of home organization approach. Here are a few tips to get you started.

Have A Plan
This approach is not going to get frustrating fast if you spend 15 minutes in different areas of the house each day. So before you begin to organize your home, have a plan of how you are going to spend those 15 minutes every day. I suggest tackling one area of your home to get organized before moving onto another area. So if your priority is the kitchen, plan out how you are going to spend those 15 minutes every day in your kitchen. Don't just tell yourself that you are going to spend 15 minutes in your kitchen in order to organize your home. For the next week, create a plan of what you will accomplish each day in those 15 minutes.

Get A Timer
If you are going to organize your home this way, you need to have a timer. Having a timer ticking in the background will help lend some urgency to your project and will help you not get into it too deep. A timer will also make sure that you stick to your commitment and keep you on task during your home organization project.

Pick A Small Task Or Make The Task Into Sections
Seems obvious I know but still worth mentioning. When you organize your home this way, you need to think about your home a little differently. You will need to look at every organizing project in your home in terms of minutes. Look around your home and figure out what is going to take you 15 minutes to organize. And if you know that one of your kitchen cupboards is more than a 15 minute task, then you will either not be able to use this home organizing approach for that cupboard or you will need to find a way to separate the cupboard into 15 minute sections.

Make Decisions Quickly
The great part about using this method to organize your home is that it forces you to make quick decisions about items in your home. You will not have time to sit there thinking about the kitchen gadget that you got from someone that you don't even know how to use. Because you are working under a time crunch, remembering where you got it or what it is won't be an issue. And a quick tip here about getting rid of things: if you don't know what it does, get rid of it. If you haven't bothered to figure out what it does by now, you never will. If you really want to organize your home, you will need to get rid of things you don't use, even if they look cool.
