SPACE

ALWAYS ANALYZE YOUR MESS BEFORE YOU ATTACK! ORGANIZING ISN’T ABOUT HOW A SPACE LOOKS BUT HOW A SPACE FUNCTIONS. USE THIS FORMULA…SPACE

S…SORT

P…PURGE

A…ASSIGN

C…CONTAINERIZE

E…EQUALIZE.

Back in 2002 I saw Julie Morgenstern on a talk show and she used this formula…I love it and have used it ever since.

Julie's Organizing Formula

• Sort: Identify what's important to you, and group similar items.
• Purge: Decide what you can live without and get rid of it (e.g. donations, sales, storage, and garbage).
• Assign: Decide where the items you keep will go. Remember, make it logical, accessible and safe.
• Containerize: Make sure they're sturdy, easy to handle, the right size, and that they look good. The art of containerizing is to do it last, not first.
• Equalize: Spend 15 minutes a day to maintain what you've done.

The last step is very important you MUST keep up on maintaining what you have accomplished.
