Hosting Easter? Tips to Get Organized Now

 If you're hosting the holiday, use that as motivation to get organized now. Planning and preparing to host guests will inspire you to get projects done around the house. If it's getting clutter out of corners and closets, now is the time to get it done with the end goal of Easter in mind.It's not too late to come up with a plan to tackle some of those nagging organizing projects. Here are a few tips:

Carve out time:

You may think several free days are needed to tackle a big organizing project, but the truth is, you just need a starting point. If your schedule only allows 30 minutes, take it! Carve out snippets of time because it’s better to get started than to never begin.

Have a plan:

Decide how you want to use the space, what’s going to happen with the stuff you’re keeping and what to do with the things you no longer want. Having clear direction will allow greater productivity.

Don’t look at the big picture:

When it comes to organizing a large project, or an overwhelming space, looking at the big picture will only sabatoge progress. When our expert organizers come to work, we like to start in the toughest spot to help you push through the grit. If you’re working on your own, start in a place that feels comfortable so you can just dig in and make progress quickly.

Deal with one item at a time:

Trying to multitask will slow you down. We can only make one decision at a time. When sorting through a big project, look and make quick decision about one item at a time.

Keep at it:

The hardest part is sticking with it to completion.  With Easter as your finish goal, there's good motivation to get it done quickly!
