Arm Yourself With The Right Tools
In order to stay organized all year, you should first arm yourself with the right tools.
You might need to grab a diary, a calendar and a notebook to help to keep you on track, or you might prefer to download some free organization apps to use.
The only way that you are going to stay on top this year is by using these tools effectively. You must write things down, create to-do lists, use task reminders and think beyond the moment that you are in.
Have a Thorough Declutter
Start as you mean to go on and have a thorough declutter. It will help you to stay organized all year if you kick the year off by organizing your home.
Go through each room and donate those things that you no longer need or use. Be honest with yourself and take this cupboard by cupboard, do not leave anything out.
When you have finished, every item should have a home, meaning that everywhere should be tidy. Keep it tidy by encouraging everyone in your household to put things back as they go along each day. You should also always know where everything is this way.
