I’m honestly not sure that there’s anyone out there who will read every single word (except for maybe my dad!), but I hope various ideas grab your attention and give you some inspiration! Not everything may work for you, your family, or your home, but if even a few ideas help to make your life a little less hectic, then all the time I spent on this post will be worth it! :) (I didn’t realize quite how ambitious I was being when I first started it!) I have made it as visually appealing as possible so you can skim it and stop to read certain sections that catch your eye. This post is massive–there are over 110 ideas here–and it took me almost two months to write it. Oops! Okay… so maybe it’s happened twice…)Īnyhow, if this time of year also makes you feel the need to get more organized, this post is for you! Along with the help of some friends with super-smart ideas, I have detailed every possible way I could think of to help you tame the chaos in your home, and most importantly, get time back in your day! (Let’s note that I DON’T ACTUALLY DO ALL OF THESE THINGS!!! Ain’t nobody got time for that! These are simply ideas!) (Except for the time I forgot we were picking up one daughter and then going straight to the dentist–so two of my girls weren’t wearing shoes since I had told them they wouldn’t even need to get out of the car. Being (somewhat) organized is practically a law for moms. With four kids, I always seem to have a hard time getting out the door. (Ahhhhh… so much less stress in the mornings now!) This has brought on simple changes in the past, like moving things around in closets and labeling bins but it also led to a renovation project one year where we actually widened our hallway and added cubbies to create a mudroom of sorts. When I can’t take the chaos anymore, it’s time to reassess! Every January, I always seem to get the bug to revise my “systems” because after a while, things just seem like they aren’t working. Sometimes I really have my act together on that front, and other times–not so much. Let’s face it, there is so much less stress in life when things aren’t a complete debacle. I think all of us love to be organized, whether we admit it or not. I like to make big stir fries, salads or things like chilli and curry which can be easily eaten as leftovers during the week.Okay, that may be overstating things a bit. The less time you have to spend cooking, the more time you could be spending organising your cupboards, cleaning, or you know, living your life. It means I can use my lunch break to get other things done, and I'll never skip a meal because I'm too busy. Sometimes to save time, I'll get my lunch on the way in even though I don't know what I'll fancy.

We're all prone to losing - or smashing - our phone every now and again, and spilling tea on a laptop is a likely occurrence, too - just me? Set aside a few minutes a month to keep your devices backed up so that if you do experience an accident, you won't have lost anything that can't be replaced. Ditto in my bathroom - I have storage baskets that at least keep my stuff vaguely in one place.īUY NOW Paperchase maps gift box, from £4 15. And hey, if I need a random cable, I know where to look. It's a bit of a mess, BUT it's out of sight thanks to some nice IKEA storage boxes. Half of them for devices I probably don't have anymore. I have an entire box that's just miscellaneous cables. I know if I start to leave plates or pots in the sink, they will quickly start to pile up and put me off washing up altogether. I don't mean you should clean the oven or mop the floors, but tidying away remnants of your dinner before you go to bed will save you precious minutes - and stress - the next day. I also have one tidy space in my flat - my living room - so that I can properly chill out when I get home. I *try* and keep my desk as clear as possible, because I know it affects my productivity when I have mess everywhere.
But try and keep at least one space in your life clutter-free. A post shared by SKINNYDIPLONDON.COM is immaculate enough to keep everywhere spotless and tidy all of the time.
