Homes & Gardens: Spring Cleaning Tips from Wilful Units

Spring has sprung, the grass has riz, do you know where everything is?

If you are like most people, you do not know where everything is, and it is a continual frustration for you and others. On average, people spend 45 minutes a day looking for something (i.e. keys, information, clothes, etc.). That 45 minutes a day, translates into six weeks a year of wasted and frustrated time!

How can you get that time back? Get organized with these tips:

Choose one space that you would like to organize. Do not start another space until the first is completed.
Get garbage bags and empty boxes to put all unwanted items to bring to your favourite charity (i.e. Goodwill, Salvation Army).
Look at each item in the space and decide if you want, need or use it (be ruthless).
If you answer NO to the above it goes in the bag/box.
Clean the space before putting things back.
Put all all like items into containers, drawers or shelving and label them.
Enjoy your organized space!
Choose your next project.

You too, can regain that lost time, and use it for other more enjoyable activities.
