Great Ideas For Organizing Your House In A Hurry

By: Marlee Dorst

It sometimes feels impossible getting your home organized in a hurry, especially if you happen to be a pack rat or a "clutterbug". However, doing so can hugely sky-rocket your productivity in all areas of life, so it really is worth the effort. Here are some tips for a quick decluttering:

- Go about the house and search for obvious and not-so-obvious GARBAGE! Get rid of doubles of things, and also packaging or boxes that you think you'll need IF you move "one day". Be tough on yourself and throw out broken things that you have been holding onto for "sentimental reasons". You will not miss them.

- Go through the bathroom and fill at LEAST a small box with lotions, medications, and makeup which are past expiry date and throw it out.

- Fill up a box with things for a charitable organization, and drop it off before you change your mind!

- Box up your surplus of photo frames for an emergency decluttering of your shelves and table-tops.. Even if you are planning to put them out again as soon as your visitors leave, this will give a much less cluttered look to your house.

- Toss your old magazines, newspapers, and catalogues into the recycle bin. Now-a-days, almost everything is available on-line.

- Lift everything off the floor of one room, wash it, after which you only put back the items that really belong there.

- Use decorative bins. These are available everywhere these days and are very handy as they appear both attractive and orderly where-ever you put them, plus they are able to hide a large amount of random "items".

- If are needing more storage space pick up a pantry cupboard with doors and put it along a spare wall. These make great emergency closets, and you can store (or hide) a LOT of items on their shelves. Close the doors and you'll be pleasantly surprised at how quickly you declutter an area!

There are times in pretty much everyone's life when they need to do an emergency decluttering and get their home organized in a hurry. Whether for emotional reasons such as your in-laws coming for a stay this weekend, or because you’re suddenly FED UP with being self-conscious about your messy house, these emergency decluttering ideas can help you clear the clutter for good... or at the very least hide the mess nicely away for a quick fix!
