Organizing your entire home can feel like an insurmountable task. It’s best to break things down into manageable pieces that are realistic to achieve. Rather than think of the needs of your entire home, think room by room. Putting your focus on one room for one day can make organizing your home easier. 

One day, one room- laser focus your efforts

When you choose one room to focus on you can give it all the attention it needs in a small burst of energy. Depending on the size of the room and projects that need to be tackled, you may not need much time to organize and make the space peaceful. Consider these steps to laser focus your efforts. 

Step 1. Remove items- Begin with a sweep of the room. Throw away anything that is trash or any broken items. Look for items that have been unused and consider if donating them or throwing them away is best. 

Step 2. Corral clutter- If there is a lot of clutter, corral it to determine what sort of storage is the ideal solution. Once you’re ready to assemble the room back together, make any storage purchases you need. 

Step 3. Deep clean- Organizing and decorating a room is easier when the space is fresh and clean. Deep clean, dust, and polish the room before you begin putting it back together. In some cases, you may need professional help. Schedule any services that you need to get the job done right. 

Step 4. Solve storage problems- Once your space is clear of clutter and clean, it’s time to solve any storage problems. Reducing the items in your spaces helps, but sometimes you’ve got to find better ways to store the items that remain. You can find clever storage ideas on online using an app like Pinterest or you can shop your local stores for ideas. 

Step 5. Choose décor- If you are doing a major refresh in a room, you may want to update the décor or overall style in the room. Enjoy the process. Find updated décor and make the space feel fresh and new.

You can take a break between projects and give yourself a few days off if you’d like. They key is to laser focus but don’t wear yourself out. Every time you tackle a room, you’ll learn new tricks that will make things easier. All you need is one day and one room to get your home back in order.
