Top 10 Things Every Home Needs to Get Organized

1. A family Calendar that everyone can see and add to.

2. A label maker

3. Tickler Files: files that sit out on your table, desk, or counter to hold action items such as

  • TO DO
  • TO PAY
  • TO GO
  • TO FILE
  • PHONE LISTS
  • COUPONS/GIFT CERTIFICATES


4. White board or chalk board for leaving messages for one another

5. Laundry baskets in every bedroom and bathroom

6. Garbage cans in every room

7. A shredder

8. A Gift wrap storage center.

In drawers, on shelves or hanging. It doesn’t matter. Just keep it all together and easy to maintain.

9. Greeting card & stationary center.

It can be a box or a drawer. This will end the problem of buying cards and losing track of them before it’s time to use them.

10. Small plastic bins. They keep lots of small things organized together and they stack to maximize space.
