Yep, NOW! Now is a great time to organize Fall (Halloween, Thanksgiving) and Christmas "stuff." And you KNOW a lot of it is just STUFF. So....since our hearts and minds are on spring and sunshine and Easter, etc., now is a great time to organize the other so that you are not so emotionally a part of that season and when it rolls around again, you are ready! Here are some tips for quick, seasonal organizing.
1. Unless you have a walk-in attic, or an attic that's easy to stand up in, try to find a closet or a part of a closet in your home to keep the decorations. It's easier and it's handy.
2. Get three boxes and label them with marker. PUT AWAY....GIVE AWAY....THROW AWAY
Start with one pile or one box to go through. ONE.
3. When we moved I found great, sturdy boxes at Home Depot for like 69 cents! I just couldn't throw them away. And, right now is a hard time to find those big orange tupperware storage containers and they can get pretty expensive. So....I used orange duct tape for "fall" and voila! (You can do this for any season)
4. If this seems like a big task for you, DON'T do it all at once. Take 15 minutes today, 15 minutes next Thursday, etc.
