rearranging your room in pursuit of functionality and tidiness

if u find yourself always having a messy room, it helps to identify *what* the mess is comprised of and *why* those things don’t end up in their place. then experiment with rearranging and choosing new spots for organizing things into, specifically in a manner that you think will lower the threshold of effort that it takes to put the thing away in its spot the first time you put it down. continue to assess and repeat

Going Room by room

organize and pack everything by what room they go in even if similar things are separated (ex: living room books don’t go with bedroom books, bathroom jewelry doesn’t go with bedroom jewelry) so that you can just unpack one room at a time instead of having things from multiple rooms in one box and then having to bounce around to unpack it. much less chaotic this way and easier to see progress/feel productive.

Go through all of your stuff room by room

Put everything in one big pile in the middle of the room. If you have a lot of stuff it’s going to look and feel insane—this is good because it’ll make you aware of how much you have. Sort everything into three piles: a pile for yes, a pile for maybe, a pile for no. After you’ve finished go through the maybe pile and be critical, discerning, decisive, erring towards no as much as possible. Once you’ve gone through the maybe pile and have your two yes and no piles, put everything from the no pile in bags or boxes to give away. Find a place or devise a solution to store everything in the yes pile in an organized and clutter-free manner where it’s tucked neatly away. If you can’t find a place for everything you either have to get more creative or get rid of more stuff! Then make a habit of putting everything away when you're finished using it and cleaning a little bit every day as maintenance.

putting things back where they belong before you leave rather than leaving it for when you come back

this is a recent trick i’ve adopted, and it’s made it so much easier to keep things organized. which makes my brain feel lighter. probably has something to do with the fact that if you’ve put cleaning off once, you’re more likely to again. also it’s just disrupting to come home to a messy room. so welcoming when clean! (huge fan of the word girlsqualor tho)
