Discover Simple Step-by-Step Strategies to Remove Clutter and Cut Stress. |
home -- Home Organization -- causes of disorganization Causes of DisorganizationThere are many causes of disorganization in various situations. The first step to getting organized and staying organized is to recognize what the cause of disorganization is, so that when you are organized you can avoid the problem in the future. One cause of disorganization is small spaces. When you have a small space, it is easy to become disorganized because you often have more stuff than places to put it in. However, this is actually an easy problem to fix, with many options available. You can install shelving along the walls to maximize the use of the space. You can install drawers under beds and couches, or use small, thin Rubbermaid containers and slide them underneath the furniture. The biggest cause of disorganization in the bedroom is a lack of closet space for your many clothing items. Get a tall dresser with deep drawers rather than a short, wide dresser with smaller drawers. It will actually fit more clothing, and take up less space in your bedroom. If you still don't have enough room for all of your clothing, hang your most worn outfits on sturdy metal hooks installed on the wall next to your closet. The most common cause of disorganization in the bathroom is lack of cabinet space or a linen closet. Install sturdy shelving on the walls to store items, put an inexpensive shelf in one corner, or purchase a cheap wire rack that installs over the toilet. The key to all organization is to maximize your space! Another common cause of disorganization is a lack of planning. Get a planner or other notebook to write down phone numbers, messages, to do lists, and appointments, and keep it with you at all times so you can write down important information immediately rather than trying to remember it. Make a meal plan and grocery list before going to the store to avoid disorganization in grocery shopping and meal creations. The biggest cause of disorganization in a child's bedroom is a lack of places for toys to belong. One toy box for all toys is not reasonable. The child will undoubtedly want the toy that is in the bottom of the toy box, and promptly empty it onto the floor and scatter it throughout the house until it is found. Avoid this by replacing the large toy box with shelving, smaller boxes, and Ziplock bags for smaller toys. Once you understand the causes of your disorganization and create solutions, keeping yourself and your family organized will soon become easy and smooth, rather than a daily, life long chore. |
