- Buying the container first. – People tend to see a really cute organizing product that they just know is going to work perfect for something. Chances are it won’t get used. It’s important to organize and purge your belongings before you decide what you’ll contain them in.
- Keeping paperwork without thinking it through. – Life is busy. We’re all in a big hurry. Because of that, most people feel like they’re in too big of a hurry to deal with the papers that come into our home or office and so we keep them just in case.
- Not determining a home for everything. – Everything that comes into your life needs a home where it will live. This way you know where everything goes and can find everything you need, when you need it. When you don’t have a home for everything, things land anywhere. Especially in places you’d never think to look for them.
