Use these tips to organize your home without feeling overwhelmed!
1. Trash - Grab a trash bag. Now go through each room of the home and pick up all trash (do not start tidying, organizing or anything else). After you finish picking up trash in each room, sit the trash bag in or near the trash bin.
2. Laundry - Grab a laundry basket and pick up all laundry in all rooms, including bathrooms. When you finish picking up all the laundry in each room, take the laundry basket and sit it in the laundry room.
3. Dishes - Go through each room and pick up all dishes from all rooms and bring them to the kitchen sink and leave them there.
4. Organize - Now go through each room and if anything is out of place, place it back in it's home. For example, if a brush is on your floor, pick it up and place it in it's drawer in the bathroom. Or if an exercise ball is out of place, put it where it belongs in the work out area.
5. Next take the trash out from the kitchen to the outside trash bin.
6. Throw in a load of laundry.
7. Start a dishwasher cycle with the dishes brought into the kitchen.
8. Anything that was not picked up (i.e. trash, laundry, dishes, or organized items), place into a pile for "to do later.". (You can tackle this now or decide to do it at another time.)
