New Year - NEAT You!

It's already time to start thinking about getting organized for 2023! Gift Guides are behind us, and if you're feeling inspired to get NEAT and organized to start off the new year, you are not alone! Start your new year on a calm and restful note by resetting your spaces for 2023. Here are our favorite tips to start a NEAT year:

1. Choose one priority space and put your focus there.

 If you tackle too much at once, you will run out of time and energy, and you will wind up feeling even more disorganized. Maybe it's a closet, maybe it's a drawer, or maybe it’s a bathroom vanity – whichever you deem your number one priority, stick with it!

2. Don't be afraid to edit.

Toss anything expired, worn, broken, or anything that you don't use or need. There are so many great ways to donate or consign!

3. Make your categories.

Keep similar items together to create an approachable system

4. Implement a container system.

Containing your items is what will keep your system in place for months and years to come!

Stuck on where to start? Our team can help, just send us a note!
