I have been away for a while and am happy to be back. Things have certainly gotten hectic and I am way behind on a ton of projects. My office looks like a computer waste collection site, my garage is in a sad state of affairs, and my personal living space is in need of some serious attention.
I recently came across a book that I bought that seem like it may work for getting me in a position to organize the garage, the house, my office, and even organize my living space. It has always been a goal of mine to maintain an organized living space for my family and me. We live in a modest three bedroom home of 1600 square feet, and a
Organized Living Space
24 x 32 square foot garage. There are four of us and three dogs that share this space. It isn’t cramped, but does on occasion get overrun with clutter.
We moved into our home three years ago from a rental home of about the same size. We were determined to not fill this place up with too much furniture and too many things. Our thought was to minimize the chaos and maximize the functionality of our rooms. We needed a plan to help organize house and grounds so we do more living and less maintaining order. My wife is a big fan of order and I have a penchant for straight lines and smooth edges.
With this book I have discovered you don’t have to be born organized to be organized! Here’s the story: Anyone who thoroughly enjoys their home knows there are just three basic ideas behind being organized and living a more simplified life at home…
- Take control of “stuff” before it becomes clutter.
- Having specific steps in place to maintain order on a daily basis.
- Knowing how to get the most out of existing space to create proper storage and always have a designated place for everything.
Check out this book and see if maybe it will help you get a more organized living space too.
