If these past two years have taught us anything, it’s that our home MUST be our sanctuary. We need to take care of it and keep it organized in such a way that we can feel peace and happiness when we’re there. If we don’t, life is going to get crazy and the clutter is going to take over.

Since I started my home organization business, I’ve had a lot of “Aha!” moments while organizing mine & clients homes. In this post, I want to share my top 5 so that you can have an “Aha!” moment yourself.

1. You Need to Start Now, Not Later

Organizing a home takes physical work, yes, but it takes even more mental work. Changing habitual patterns is very hard, especially if we’ve been living a certain way for a long time.

We all have the desire to be better, but we’re prone to procrastinate on the things we know we need to be doing. We overthink & come up with all sorts of excuses for why we can’t do it, when in reality we just need the push to start.

To achieve this Aha Moment when organizing, do this:

Next time you’re faced with something you need to organize, start doing it right then and there.

Once you start, you’ll notice it’s not that hard and can actually be quite fun! In no time you’ll have an organized space and you’ll be proud of the effort you put in to get there.

2. There Are Solutions to Any Problems

As a professional organizer, I hear about the problems my clients face all the time. I hear about their frustrations, their lack of time and their inability to get organized.

It’s easy to think that because the problem is so big, there’s no possible way you can solve it. You’ll just have to live with it forever.

But organizing isn’t like this at all! In fact, there are always multiple solutions for any given problem.

To implement this Aha Moment when organizing, do this:

Think outside the box! One of my clients never got to use her vanity tabletop because it was constantly overcrowded with her jewelry. My solution? A simple jewelry drawer tray!

3. Baskets Are a Girl’s Best Friend

It’s no secret that I love to use baskets when organizing my clients’ homes – they’re simply amazing!

Baskets are versatile & can be used for just about anything. They’re also super easy to customize so that you can fit them into your space perfectly!

To implement this Aha Moment when organizing, do this:

Find cluttered areas in your home begging for some TLC – sort & separate your items by using different baskets for each category.

4. Any Space in the Home Can Become Functional

The way we lay out our homes usually define the purpose of the room, but what about those places left unfilled? What about the nooks and crannies we never think to use?

These spaces can be put to good use! It’s just a matter of fitting it to the right purpose.

Take a look at this client’s home below.

The daughter always played in the space behind the couch that the mother deemed “too small for anything”. With just a little creativity, we transformed this space into a charming playroom to be enjoyed for years to come!

To accomplish this Aha Moment, try this:

Start exploring your home to find any spaces that you could use to your advantage.

5. Children Can Be Organized

Children can be messy, but that’s not to say they can’t learn to become more organized.

There are many ways to help children learn how to organize themselves, such as using pictures & labels on baskets so they know where everything goes. They’ll naturally become more organized as they learn how to best utilize their space.

To accomplish this Aha Moment next time you organize, do this:

Involve your children in your home organization projects as soon as possible & lead by example.

These are my top 5 Aha! Moments I’ve experienced when organizing homes. I hope you’ve gotten some ideas & have your own Aha! moments when organizing your house.
