How To Get Organized In A Small Space
“I’m desperate for tips about staying organized in a two bed townhouse. My husband and I have a 13 month old and are thinking of adding another to our family soon. Our son shares the spare room with some storage and furniture while my husband is working from home from a desk in our bedroom. We don’t have heaps of toys, but there are some sentimental items like furniture, essential woodworking and sewing supplies, and so many clothes it seems silly to give away when we’re hoping for even more kids. How can I get organized in a small space?”
Effective organizing is all about prioritizing first. On this episode, I’m answering a listener’s question about how to get organized in a small-ish space by divulging my 3-step organizing method; I’m introducing the ultra-effective concept of space limits, too.
