Organize Your Home 20 Minutes At A Time!

Have you ever taken a good look around your home and been even a little bit overwhelmed with some of the clutter, unorganized closets, drawers or pantries? Don’t even get me started with what is stashed under the bed. If you have, you are certainly not alone! Life happens, we get busy, things get shoved in drawers, cabinets and closets and before you know it, getting your home organized feels like a lengthy, impossible project. The good news is-it doesn’t have to be that way. You don’t need to carve out a large period of time such as an entire weekend to bring calm to the chaos that hides in plain sight on your counters, in your closets, your drawers and even under your bed. If you can find just 20 minutes a day, you can reclaim your space, reduce stress and create a home that feels calm and functional-one small session at a time.

This is why 20 minutes works-20 minutes is a short enough period of time to fit into even the busiest of schedules. 20 minutes is also long enough to make some real progress and see some visible results. Your visible progress will create positive momentum and will motivate and encourage you to keep going!

Step 1. 🏡 Pick one small area to begin with. You don’t need to try and organize your whole kitchen or bathroom at once. Instead, focus on a single contained space such as a drawer, a cabinet or the top of your dresser. If you set a clear boundary of what you want to accomplish in each session, it is easier to get started and it is less likely you will get overwhelmed.

Step 2. 🏡 Set a timer. Commit to 20 minutes with no distractions and no perfectionism. The goal is not for things to be perfect but for the space to be more organized and presentable than it was before you started.

Step 3. 🏡 It is time to sort, toss and tidy up. Keep things you use and love, get rid of any trash, broken items and expired food and medicines. If you find items that are still in good, usable condition you can consider donating or selling those items. If you haven’t used or needed something in the past year, chances are, you are never going to. Get rid of it! If you find things that are not where they belong, relocate them to the appropriate space. Stop when the timer goes off unless, of course, you are on a roll. 😉 You can always pick up where you left off.

Step 4. 🏡 Take a few moments to celebrate your progress! Enjoy how it feels to open up that organized drawer, walk past that decluttered dresser top and easily locate things in your kitchen pantry. Even take some before and after photos. You will be surprised how satisfying that can be.

Step 5. 🏡 Make it a habit. Try to incorporate a 20 minute organizing session into your daily routine. You will be amazed at how much you can transform your home when you make a focused and deliberate effort at purging and organizing as many days each week as you can! You can build a calmer, cleaner, happier home 20 minutes at a time!

Try setting a 20 minute challenge this month! Commit to 20 minutes a day and see your home transform in the next 30 days!

🏡🏡 Happy Organizing!! 🏡🏡
