Welcome to Part 2 of this series. Now that you've got the decluttering part down, let's get to Organizing Basics. Here we go...
1. Take everything out
If you haven't already done this while decluttering or you're organizing on a different day, the first step is to pull everything out.
2. Categorize
If items aren't already put together with like items now is the time to sort and categorize everything.
3. Take inventory and space plan
Take a look at what you have for each category, take inventory and measurements for product (if needed). Start planning out where each category will go and place notes on the space if needed.
4. Product
I want to note that you don't always need fancy new storage products . If you have bins, containers, etc. that are still usable, you can use those and swap them out later if needed. If you're going to purchase product take notice of your style and space, this will help you when purchasing items. As you shop for product try not to overbuy and look for items that are versatile and will serve many different uses. Bring a list and don't forget to use those measurements!

Purchased product and created systems - check!
5. Put everything back
Prep your items to put back. Here are some tips for some common spaces: If you're working on your wardrobe fold, color code and swap out hangers. If you're working on your kitchen or bathroom place items you use the most in front at eye level so they are easy to access.
6. Label
Label but no need to overdo it - you don’t have to label if the contents are obvious and easy to see.
7. Clean up
If you didn't do so already deal with donations, trash, relocations, etc. Get everything out the door and into your car and dropped off to the appropriate place.
8. Celebrate
You just created your new and improved space! Enjoy!!
