From Chaos to Composed: 3 Organizing Tips That Really Work
It’s busy season, and we know how easy it is for your home to feel more like a whirlwind than a retreat. That’s why we’re sharing a few tried-and-true tips to help you shift your space from chaotic to composed.
1. Just start.
It sounds simple, but the hardest part is often beginning. Start small—whether it’s a single drawer, a shelf, or one category of items. Finishing even a tiny task gives you momentum and helps you focus on the bigger picture.
2. Edit often.
Don’t be afraid to let things go. Keep a dedicated bin or bag for donations, and when it’s full, drop it off at your nearest center. The change of seasons is the perfect time to edit—especially as kids grow out of clothes and wardrobes shift.
3. Use the right products.
At NEAT Method, we’ve learned which bins, baskets, and dividers work best in most spaces. If you’re organizing on your own, look for containers that maximize your space and make it easy to contain (and maintain) your items. The right tools go a long way in creating order.
With a little effort, you’ll create a home that feels lighter, calmer, and truly functional.
