Here some simple steps taken from our friends at The container store.
1. Start in one place
Whatever your priorities, select one area and stick to it. Many attempts at organization fail when the task of cleaning up the entire house seems daunting and folks give up. When you complete one area, celebrate and then move on to the next.
2. Allow plenty of time
Don't expect organization to happen overnight. Depending on the area to be organized, schedule a couple of hours each day to work on getting the area organized.
3. Clean house
Once you've selected an area, go through the contents. Donate or hold a garage sale for anything you don't or can't wear or use any more.
4. Take inventory
After you've removed extraneous items, take a look at what remains. Does it belong here? Does it make sense to keep it here? Is there another place where you've got more room to keep it, or another area where it would be more easily accessible for its purpose? .
5. Look for wasted space
If you're in need of more storage space, think creatively about additional areas that you can put to work.
6. Maximize vertical space
If you don't have a lot of room to work with, a surefire way to instantly create more space is to go "up."
7. Divide the space
By adding additional shelves to a single shelf, or by using containers that stack atop one another, you can divide the vertical space and make efficient use of the area you have to work with.
8. Keep it moving
Consider storage options on wheels: to allow for greater flexibility and to help keep the clutter under control.
9. Organize with color
Use colors to enhance your efforts. Assign colors to container, projects or spaces.
10. Visibility
The three rules to organization are visibility, accessibility and flexibility. Choose containers that are either transparent or that you can easily label to help immediately identify the contents and save valuable time.
11. Accessibility
Make sure that the items you need most often are the easiest to access.
12. Flexibility
Select a storage system that can adapt to your changing needs.
