Make Organization Your 2025 New Year’s Resolution

It is the New Year, and with it comes new beginnings. You may want to set a workout goal, write a book, or be more productive, but do you know the first thing that should be on your resolution list? You should declutter and reorganize your home. How can you get anything done in a cluttered and messy house? Much like making your bed early in the morning, reorganizing your home can improve your mental health and make the entire house feel more spacious without expensive renovations. 

So, how do you start? To learn more about effectively reorganizing your home, read below. 

Take Inventory

You first need to take inventory of what worked last year and what did not. If you fell off the bandwagon last year and your home is unorganized, it is time to find a solution. Perhaps set aside time to declutter weekly so you can regularly clean your house. You will be surprised at the difference an hour or two can make! It does not have to take all day, but you must start. This will make your home feel brand new, so it is essential to consider what worked and what did not as you move forward. 

Declutter and Clean Properly

First, you want to put everything out in the open where you can take inventory. Make sure you check your closets, under your bed, and in other hard-to-reach places. Clean any dirt or grime you find on the surfaces you just revealed. Do not just clean around objects. For instance, if you have a pile of clothes on the floor, move them onto the bed or into a hamper and vacuum that spot.

Sort Things Out

There are several ways you can sort your items. You can create active and passive zones and “keep” and “store” piles. The type of items in each pile are self-explanatory. “Keep” items are used most often and stay in your home, while “store” items usually can be put away since you are not actively using them. Examples of items you keep are the clothes you regularly wear, any books you are reading or that you cannot part with, and everyday household items. Passive items could be exercise equipment you have not used in a while or clothes you have not worn in years. 

It might also be worth finding a storage unit rather than using your home. That way, you can keep things in a secure location and swap them out when needed. A storage unit is perfect for things like seasonal decorations and old furniture.
