Okay, school starts in exactly two weeks and my office and bedroom are both complete disasters. I'm usually an organized person but with all the new text books and clothes everything's beginning to cram. I've already gotten rid of some stuff I don't need and sold it on eBay.
Any other ideas on how to organize it all?? I'd like to start the new year fresh =)
Answer
What I have been dying to do in my house, is take it one room at a time. Completely empty everything in the room (except large furnature items that you know will be staying in there). Put it all in another room, and pick through the stuff. Only put back the stuff in the room that is necessary in there. What you have left over, decide if it can go somewhere else in your house. If not, then pitch it, sell it, give it away, whatever.
That's if you actually have time to do that. It could take a few days, but it would be worth it in the end.
As far as school organization...
I bought a cubbie hole furniture piece from walmart for only like 35.00. I use it for my kids toys, but it would be great to organize backpacks, books, school supplies, etc...
My cubbie unit comes with 9 cubes in it. Depending on how many kids you have, give them a certain number of cubes to put their things in.
They also sell great closet organizers that have the days of the week marked on them. I am thinking of getting one for my daughter this year when she starts school. This way, on Sunday, I can put each day's outfit in the slot, and cut down on time in the mornings by picking out clothes. If your kids are old enough to pick out their own clothes to put in the slots, that works even better!
If you start with a clean house, it's easier to keep it organized. So give your house a good cleaning, and encourage your kids to put the things in appropriate places so they know where it is for the next day.

My house is a disaster, need some helpful hints.?

I am going to school, have a 9 year old, 2 year old, and 1 on the way. I am lazy by nature. Not something I am proud of, and my house, well, let's just say the closets in every room are stuffed with who knows what. I keep, for the most part, living area and kitchen area fairly picked up. But my laundry is out of control, and I horde clothing that is too small, too big, if I like it I can't get rid of it even if I don't wear it. I have no organization, and my kids keep me up, and down, and all over the place. I get frustrated, and I am stinking tired. My other half says this is woman's work and does absolutely nothing. He refuses to put dishes in kitchen, undresses in the front room and leaves it there, gets out his man tools and what nots leaves them generally wherever, then I put them, or stuff them rather, anywhere....oh It;s a mess. I wish I knew how to be a student, mother, wife and housekeeper/doctor, psychologist, mediator, lover, all wrapped into one. Anyone have any ideas on how to get caught up... lose the clutter, and keep it organized while doing all the other life stuff.??
Answer
Ah... I know how you feel - but I suppose every woman knows how you feel - when you are bringing up children and going to either college or have a job. It can be hard - especially if you are not organised! Because this only causes more chaos in your life and makes you feel like you are obviously feeling at the moment.
So, one thing for sure you do need some re-organisation with your life, but that also includes your husband not just your clothes and stuff !
My Mum always told me when I got married was 'to start as you mean to go on' i.e. you don't always have to 'pick up' everything after your husband and why should you? You are not a slave to his needs. You have children - you go to College - as above you are trying to do everything! And... this is impossible and your husband should realise this.
So, my first course of action is to tell your husband to get off his backside and to help you with the children and some 'chores'. He sounds a very lazy person. So, you have to get him trained into doing jobs too. As someone else suggest - get him to take your children out the house for a few hours to enable you to get on sort out your cupboards or whatever etc.
I know all this will not happen overnight and will take some time - but don't give up - keep at it and make sure he does something to help in different ways. Can he cook? If he can - let him cook you a meal every now and then to either give you a rest or to enable you to do something else i.e. cleaning, ironing etc. In fact perhaps you should teach him to iron. My husband does all these things - I'm not saying all the time, but at least he can do them.
As regards the 'other clutter' in your life i.e. clothes, unorganised cupboards etc. When you start doing anything like this - this also takes time and lots of effort. In fact I do 'house doctoring' for other people, which is what you could do with - someone to help you do it - to give you encouragement etc. Does your Mum live near you? Can you ask your Mum if she wouldn't mind helping? Do you have a Sister or Brother that may help you? It is also worth asking these to assist - as I say even if it is just to give you encouragement!
Anyway getting back to your cupboards etc. clear a cupboard or a few drawers out say perhaps every 2/3 days and take what you don't want to a charity shop or if you know of anyone who might need them - give to them. This way, you will also be helping others - which will no doubt make you feel good doing that. If you do this gradually and do one room at a time i.e. say start with your bedroom and clear the clutter.
But... whatever - do not give up trying to sort your life out - first to sort out is your husband - then the rest of your clutter. And.... once you have done this - it will make you feel 10 times better.
Hope it all works out for you - keep your chin up and be strong - say to yourself you can do this - you will do this :)
