It’s always a good time to get your home organized. Spring happens to be one time I tend to start wanting to organize my home more and more. 

I’ve been in my home for around 3 years now. I tried to move in with organization in mind but you need to live in a space for a while to know what will work best. Many things are still working but a bit of a refresh is needed.

Since this is a popular time to organize there are a lot of great resources coming out and great sales on organization products. It’s a good time to stock up on things you need to organize your home. I love The Container Store for organization products. I used their Elfa system in my office closet to create a lot more storage and we use many of their other products around the home.

I personally could spend hours looking at organization products. I’d much rather organize than clean. Since I was a kid I have had a habit of organizing something like a closet while the rest of my room was a total disaster. Now I try to make myself clean before I organize but organizing is just so much more rewarding.

To help get you motivated to organize I want to share some of my favorite organizing hacks and a few bonus resources.
