Let’s talk about the top 3 organizing habits you should practice right now. The advice that I am sharing today is actually from a collaborative article I was apart of on Porch, I would love it if you could check it out here – Home Organization: Tips from Professional Organizers.
These are simple habits that we all can start doing right now so that we get into the habit of making this apart of our everyday routine.
1. De-cluttering regularly
One super important thing is to periodically de-clutter and not just seasonally. Make a dedicated donation station or zone in your home that you can go to any time. For example, you can have a decorative bag in your bedroom dedicated to donating.
This habit is perfect for when you try on clothing and realize that it doesn’t fit you anymore, or you no longer want it. You can quickly place it into the bag instead of back into your closet.
2. Categorize your items into zones
The goal is to keep everything that is the same together and create a central home for it. For example, if you are working on your kitchen, create a zone for all your baking items, one for your cooking prep utensils, one for your daily coffee needs, and keep the process going. When you set up your home this way, you will find and put away your things with ease.

3. Put your items back and relocate items that don’t belong every day
Make a conscious effort to find time each day to put things back in their proper places instead of throwing items in junk drawers, shelves, or cabinets. One easy tip is to go around your space and remove items that don’t belong in that space. As well as toss items that are trash/garbage or recycling.
By making this a habit, you will have your space instantly neater and know that your items will always be in the same spot every time.
But wait there is more!😊
