Making Sure Your Organized Home Stays Organized by Jill B

Making sure that your home stays organized is often the most difficult part of home organization. Because there is constantly more stuff coming into your home, the battle is never ending. And perhaps the even more difficult part is getting everyone else in your home on board with keeping an organized home. So how do you do it? There are two important parts: creating a schedule and getting everyone on board with the schedule.



When you create your schedule, think about the rooms in your home that are problem areas. Is your kitchen constantly a mess? Bathrooms? Home office? Think about what creates the problems in those areas. Are your kids constantly coming home from school and dropping all of their school papers on the kitchen counter? Do you bring the mail home and throw it on the desk in your office and just leave it there to pile up day after day?



Figure out what the problem is for each area. Then you need to figure out a way to address each of these problems in order to have an organized home. Do you need to go through your mail on a daily basis? Do you need to have a time at night when all school papers need to be out of the kitchen? Think about what kind of schedule you need to set up and write it down using a calendar or some kind of reminder system. Either of these is best so you know exactly what needs to be done when.



Getting everyone on board with the schedule means having a family meeting to discuss it. Talk about why it is important. Get input from everyone on how best to implement the schedule. If they do not like the schedule you have come up with, talk about why and get ideas from them about what they think would work better.


If you want to keep an organized home, you will need to get everyone involved in it. And if things are not working, have another family meeting to discuss why. Get more free advice at http://www.YourHomeIsOrganized.com
