2 Tips to Stay Organized this Summer

Summer and staying organized seem to be IMPOSSIBLE! Summer is about unscheduled days, having fun and relaxing. Being organized feels more scheduled and strict.

We can have both…the fun and spontaneity of summer, with just the right amount of order so we don’t end up facing a three-month clutter dig out come Fall. Sound like a plan? Here are a couple ideas to try.

Evaluate your priorities. What’s most important to you this summer? Is it time with the kids? Getting projects done around the house? Relaxing and hanging out with friends? Come up with a list and prioritize it. If “keep the house organized” or “organize (the basement)” doesn’t make the list, no worries! Enjoy your summer!

Call on your little helpers. With the kids out of school, they’re probably creating more messes than during the school year. More time at home = more stuff to come out of storage and pile up on flat surfaces! Create a new daily routine of having the kids’ pick up and put away items they use or play with. Each day, before bed bed-time declutter, or work on having them put things away before they pull something else out. This is a great habit to work on over the summer because it will also help you and your kids during the school year.
