Have you ever seen those videos on either YouTube or TikTok where creators show off their hyper-organized shelves, and you can't help but wonder why such content is so satisfying? Well, it is so because the sight of cleanliness and tidiness has a positive effect on the mind and helps in de-stressing.

Usually, clients send in their photos of their place followed by a phone consultation which allows the pair to create a customized plan for them. Once that is done, the organizing magic comes into play. With multiple follow-ups, they can provide their clients with a properly organized and functional space. If you reside in Kansas City, then you can book your very own appointment with Orderly KC.

But if you feel like this is a challenge you are willing to take on, here are some tips to get you started:

1.    Declutter

One of the biggest reasons you think your space is a mess is the extra unneeded stuff you have. For example, if you want to organize your workspace, you need to get rid of everything that is not work-related. If you are fixing your closet, you should start getting rid of clothing items you haven’t worn in a long time.

2.    Shop for Containers

Now that you are left with only the important items, you should move them out to help you organize better. If you leave them there, you’ll have a hard time assembling and categorizing them. If you don’t have any containers or baskets, it would be advisable that you invest in some. Once you’ve got the containers, you can start placing your items into their designated spot.

3.    Don’t Forget to Label

It will take a while for you to get used to all the new containers and baskets, so to make it easy, you need to start labeling them. This will guide you on where to put the items and serve as a reminder to stay organized.

These tips are going to help you in organizing and making your place more functional. Good luck!
