Organizing

Organizing is a great way to get motivated. An organized home can help anyone be more productive in the new year. I love organizing but when things aren'r organized for ease they can quickly become unorganized again. I find that this is where I often fail in my organizing efforts in my own home.

In an effort to become more organized this year in my home and in my life, I am putting together some of my favorite inspirational organizing tips and projects. My pinterest board Organize has been put together with the goal in mind to get more organized. If you are looking for some inspiration and some motivation follow my board.

Also I wanted to share a sample here of some of my favorite organizing tips. Below are some of my favorite pins.

Getting Rid of Stuff

So in the middle of everything getting extremely stressful with the up coming wedding I have decided that I need to de-clutter my life! Simplify things. Not that my life is horribly complicated, its more about getting rid of the extra stuff I don't need. What started my thoughts on this subject is our registry for the wedding.

After being together for 8 years we have accumulated a lot of stuff. Some of it has come from us buying things we have needed, other stuff has come from people handing down their old stuff to us. Putting together a registry of stuff to receive as presents is hard when you already have many of these items and many of these items you already have are in good to great condition. Yes some of it we are going to hand down, like it was handed down to us, but the rest is going into a garage sale.

After the wedding I will be getting rid of all our unneeded stuff. I have started separating many items and am finding stuff I never use anymore and stuff I have never used at all. Its time to release this stuff back into the world where it can hopefully be used by someone else.

I am hoping to that getting rid of stuff will add a level of clarity to my home and thus affect my life. Sometimes you just have to do it!
