Energize and Organize: Spring into S.P.A.C.E. Action

Have you heard of the organizing acronym S.P.A.C.E.?  

Developed by professional organizer Julie Morgenstern, S.P.A.C.E. is a wonderful acronym to keep in mind while getting and staying organized! 
​

• Sort:  Identify what is important to you and group similar items together.

 

• Purge:  Decide what you can live without and get rid of it.

 

• Assign:  Decide where the items you keep will "live'.

 

• Contain:  Make sure containers are sturdy, easy to handle, the right size, and that they look good in the room.

 

• Equalize:  This means a few things:  1.  Put your stuff away!  Spend 15 minutes a day to maintain you new system.  This will be a lot easier to do once everything has a "home" that is appropriate in size, style and location.  2.  Practice the One In, One Out Rule:  If you buy something new, like a pair of shoes, get rid of an old pair.  3.  Periodically re-evaluate your system see how it is working for you.  Tweak as necessary.
