Organizing: Sorting

Now that you have purged many of your items, it is time to start sorting. Try separating your items by starting off in areas of your house, room, or wherever you may be. Try to start small and not get too overwhelmed with this process. Try to stay focused on one area like clothes, paperwork, kitchen items, etc. and then move onto the next.

The use of bins and/ or baskets are a great way to help with the sorting process. Sorting is also a great way to purge more of your unwanted items. If you are sorting clothes, sort by type of clothing first like, skirts, dresses, shirts, etc. With paperwork make an urgent pile for things that need to be taken care of immediately, to file - items that need to be field, bills, etc. Try to make as little piles as possible to eliminate it getting too complicated.

Once you have your items sorted try putting them in areas where they should go. This can be a very frustrating and tedious process, so if you have to do something else for a moment do so. Do not leave for no more than 10 minutes to get your mind off of the stress. Some things you can do are go for a walk, do yoga, meditate, or whatever it is that you need to do to get your mind off of the situation for a moment. Then go back and tackle the situation again until it is completely done the proper way. You will be thankful down the road when it is so easy to find the things you are looking for.
