How to Stay Organized
We love label makers. As professional organizers we love to label things. Labels help us organize and sort our space and make it so much easier to know where things should be put back.
If you have kids or other people who put items away in your house, it makes it easier for everyone to know where the items go. Best of all, there can be no more excuses from family members because they were not sure where to put things!
Here are some things you can label:
- Label your in tray
- Label your pantry food containers and the shelf where they belong
- Label your kids clothes
- Label your linen press, so you know where your flat, fitted, king and queen sheets should go.
- Label your warranty documents
- Label your folders which contain all your paper work such as gas, electricity, water, phone bills.
- Label your desk accessories.
Professional Organising Tip 1:
Always have some spare tape and batteries on hand. There is nothing worse than running out of tape or batteries when you are half way through a label.
Professional Organising Tip 2:
Buy a battery recharger and rechargeable batteries so you never run out!
Good luck with your labelling!
Until next time, Happy Organising.

How to Get Your Mail Organised
Here are a few quick tips to help you start managing your mail clutter.
- Don’t sit the mail on the bench and say “I will come back and sort it out later”.
- When bringing the mail in from the mail box, open it straight away (standing over the bin), throwing out the envelopes and any junk mail/magazines.
- Ask yourself, “will I really read this catalogue or newspaper”?
- Once you have a pile of relevant mail, you then need to decide what action to take. Many people keep catalogues, saying that they will read it later, but they never do.
- Set a timeframe in which you must read the item and then throw it out. Take the mail out of the kitchen and into your “office” space.
- If your kitchen bench is going to be clutter free, it is really important to get into a good habit about managing your mail.
Until next time, Happy Organising
