Clutter and disorganization lead to a stressful life. It’s hard to feel zen when you’re staring at a disarray of clothes, books, and trinkets strewn across the apartment. If you want to destress and declutter your life, it’s time to get organized. While some people love the task of organization, others avoid it at all costs. To help you organize your way to a better life, we’ve got a few tips that will help you get started.
1. Declutter
There’s no use organizing something you’re going to throw out anyway. Begin your process by taking inventory of everything in your home. Put everything you want to get rid of in one pile. In another pile, put things you’re on the fence about keeping. Take some time to imagine how you’d feel without these objects–if you’re not enthusiastic about keeping them, it’s probably best to let them go.
2. Take one room at a time
Turning your messy house into a neatly organized home can seem like an overwhelming task. Make things more manageable by dividing your project room by room, space by space. Start with a small space, like your closet. Organize your clothes by category: shirts, dress shirts, pants, etc. Use organizational tools like the Space Saving Folding Hook from Temu to bunch similar clothes together for easy access. You can consolidate pants with the 5-Layer Trouser Rack to maximize your closet space, or buy a Shoe Box Storage for your favorite kicks.
3. Make the most of vertical space
Just because you don’t have a ton of space doesn’t mean you can’t make the most of it. When it comes to storage, don’t forget all of the vertical space at your disposal. A shelving unit can be great for storing excess items, especially if you get one that runs all the way up to the ceiling. This Three Tier Hanging Bag from Temu is a great option for storing on-the-go items. You can store sunglasses, suntan lotion, and other accessories by the door to reduce clutter and keep things close at hand.
4. Consolidate your cords
Nothing is more stressful than tripping over charging cables and computer cords. Keep things consolidated by using extension cords like the SUPERDANNY Extension Cord. It has nine widely spaced outlets with three USB ports where you can charge all of your devices in one convenient location. You can also invest in a Wall Outlet Extender in areas where you have little space to make the most of your wall outlets. This is a great tool to use behind entertainment units so that you can plug in your various devices without needing to run any cables away from the unit.
Organization is much easier when you’ve got tools to give your space better structure. Browse through the other items at Temu to find other items that make organizing fun.
