When it comes to organizing, there are many different methods you can try. Over time, I've discovered a technique that I personally use because it's easy to remember, simple to follow, and can be applied to almost any area of your home.

I call it Majority Rules.

This technique helps you determine what a space should be used for by looking at the items already there. Instead of fighting against what your space is telling you, you can use it as a guide to make organizing easier and more manageable. ✨

Let me explain how it works and how you can put it into practice in your own home.

Step 1: Take a Walk Through Your Space 👀

Before you start moving things around, take a few minutes to walk through the area you want to organize. Look carefully at what's there and how the space is currently being used.

As you observe the area, ask yourself:

• What items do I see the most?
• Are there common themes among these items?
• How is this space being used right now?
• Do I see anything that does
...

To set yourself up for success with any organizing project, you need a plan. 📝

Think of your plan as a map that guides you from the initial idea all the way to a completed space. Before you begin sorting, decluttering, or organizing, take a little time to think through where you're going and how you'll get there.

What Does a Good Organizing Plan Look Like? 🤔

1. Focus on the Finish First 🎯

I know this may sound backward, but before you can create a plan, you need to know where you're going.

What do you want the finished space to look like? More importantly, how do you want the space to function?

Take the garage, for example. Is your goal to create a space where you can park your car? 🚗 Or do you need additional storage? 📦

Those are two very different goals—and the plan for organizing the space will look different depending on how you want to use it.

Start by identifying your desired outcome. Once you know where you're going, you can begin creating a plan to get there.

Simple habits for a calmer, more organized home

Today is the day!

Today is the perfect day to begin your organizing journey—even if you've tried before.

The good news is that you don't have to organize your entire home in one weekend. In just a few weeks of consistent effort, you can begin building simple habits that make everyday life feel more organized and less overwhelming.

My suggestion? Choose one or two strategies each week and practice them consistently. As those habits become part of your daily routine, you can always add another one.

Remember, progress is built one simple step at a time.

1. Make Your Bed First Thing in the Morning

As soon as you get out of bed, make it.

This simple habit sets the tone for the rest of your day and gives you an immediate sense of accomplishment.

2. If You Get It Out, Put It Back

One of the easiest ways to reduce clutter is to return items to their proper place as soon as you're finished using them.

This simple habit prevents clutter ...

Every home has at least one…or more?

It’s the place where random items end up when no one knows exactly where to put them. One junk drawer can easily turn into two… and before long, the possibilities for more feel endless.

Does this sound familiar?

“I might need this someday.”
“I’m not sure what this is, so I should probably keep it.”
“I found it once… what if I can’t find it again?”
“It’s in there somewhere.”

While these “drawers of surprise” may seem harmless, they often create more stress and disorganization than we realize. We spend valuable time searching for one item, only to get distracted by five other forgotten things we discover along the way.

So how do we transform a junk drawer into a functional multi-purpose space that actually works for us?

The answer is simple: create intention for the space.

Intention is what helps keep a space organized long-term. When a drawer has a clear purpose, it becomes easier to maintain and easier to use in everyday life.
