Organizing 101

I would like to give a few tips and tricks I have learned when it comes to organizing:

1. Start one place and work your way around. If you come across something you don't know where it should go, put it aside or away for know. A little "out of sight, out of mind" would benefit you in the end. Once your first project is completed and you have a change to look back at what you set aside, you might have later thought of a better place for that stuff.

2. Don't be afraid to use what you already have. My first organizing project was gonna get delayed, had I not convinced the owner to clear out some of the boxes they already had to make room for other things to put in those boxes. With a little duct tape and separating things we were able to get everything separated into boxes and labeled like they wanted without buying more boxes.

3. Make sure you have accomplished what you wanted. I understand when your organizing a whole room it takes time. However, when looking a a big picture, you need to look at the smaller pictures first. Go into a project knowing what you want to be done at least by the end of your first day. I went into my first project saying we should at least have two bags of trash and separated everything we want to sell/donate.

These are just a few tips/tricks I utilize myself and in my projects I complete. I will post more as they come along with what I do. Hope they help and as well if you need help with any tough project feel free to email me anytime.

The picture are in order of the work in progress. The first picture you could not even walk into the garage, the second one shows the things that were cleared out and the third show the end of the day and there is a path to get to things and everything on the left is whats for sell and donate. This project should be done by the end of the week, with time permitting.
