Organizing Tips for Households with Large Families
Everyone in the family could really contribute to a lot of clutter at home. You might notice that when you were still living alone, there was already too much clutter at home. It is not surprising that when you married and started having a growing family, your house instantly turns into a grand place full of clutters and things scattered everywhere. You need to sort out things. Check out the following organization tips to help make your home organized and systematic at the same time.
You could begin the initiative by organizing all your clothes and shoes. Of course, each member of the family could have multiple numbers of clothes and shoes. Most are keeping items even if unused for the longest time. It would be best if you would designate a storage cabinet where all shoes of family members would be stored. It would not be likely if any shoes would be left at the door entrance. When shoes are scattered at the floor, anyone could easily kick them off. When that happens, it could be hard to find the missing match. Finding that match could also aggravate or worsen the cluttering problem. Clothes that are unused for the longest time should already be taken out of the house. Perhaps, you should donate them to charities.
Children of course bring home lots of school papers and artworks. Such papers could get mixed with your daily mail. In a matter of days, the papers could pile up and would look like a total mess. Resolve this problem through going through your children’s paper works on a daily basis. Keep those that need to be kept and throw away those that could be instantly discarded. It would help if you would put a child’s paper works into a separate bin or plastic bag so it would not mix up with papers of your other children. Sort your mails and bills daily or as often as you could. Do not let it pile up. Credit card bills should be instantly burned up or shredded after you settle the amount. You could also keep papers for recycling.
Always clean the house. Put out or keep children’s toys where they should be. It would help if you would designate a drawer or cabinet to store all of your children’s stuff. Be sure not to mix their toys so that they would not create a mess whenever they find their items. Again, old toys should go. Your child might have sentimental values or attachments with some, but those that are practically worthless should already go. They would just pile up.
Don’t stuff your home with too much decors and ornaments. It would be ideal if you would become minimalist. Arrange your furniture and appliances in a way that everyone in the house could have adequate and luxurious free space for extra movements. Your children might run across the rooms every now and then, so be sure no fragile items are displayed.
Who else wants to relieve stress by bringing order to your life once and for all? Are You Pulling Your Hair Out Because Your Life is a Disorganized Mess? Feel like a chicken running around with your head cut off?
Is your house a mess? Papers piling up on your kitchen counter. You can no longer see what color the top of your desk is. And it’s getting harder and harder to feel comfortable in your own home with the mess. The hectic schedule. And the unorganized life.
There comes a point when you must say, “Enough! I need to get organized now if it kills me!”
Sometimes all it takes is a little push in the right direction to get started. To make just a few changes to a busy life that makes it more manageable.
Where can you get that push? Let me help you with my guide… Let’s Get Organized!
Help Your Child Learn to Organize and Prioritize with a Chore Chart
It can be very frustrating to ask your child over and over again to complete their chores without them ever getting done. Sometimes it’s the result of a child not knowing how to organize and prioritize their time. Help your child develop these important skills by implementing a chore chart.
Chores might include taking out the garbage, doing the dishes, cleaning their room, yard work or putting laundry in the laundry room. After your child completes each chore, they can put a check mark on the chore chart. At the end of each week, it’s very inspiring for both parent and child to look at the chore chart and easily see that each designated job was completed.
Just like our to do lists, your child will find great satisfaction in being able to check off each chore as it’s completed and take pride knowing they accomplished a set task or list of tasks. Once the child is more adept at completing each task and learns to recognize which ones should be completed first, additional ones can be added to the list.
Once you’ve sat down with your child and discussed and designed a chore chart, it’s time to discuss the rewards for accomplishing each task listed. Perhaps at your home you decide you will give a set sum for each task accomplished. If you should decide to grant your child some sort of monetary allowance, make sure it’s age appropriate and granted on a regular basis.
A good rule of thumb is 50 cents per year of age. However, be firm about the allowance being an all or nothing reward. No allowance is given if the items on the list are only partially completed or if they haven’t been completed in a quality fashion. Teach your child early to strive to do it right the first time, and learn to save time in the process.
By helping your child to develop a sense of organization early on, you’ll equip them with an important skill that will help them succeed later in life.
As you begin the process of organizing your household, you may ask yourself what the best way is to motivate your family members to become and stay actively involved in the process. Each family member is unique and so is their method for organizing and prioritizing. But if you approach it from a coaching standpoint, it is possible to motivate your family to get on the organizational bandwagon.
First of all, remember that your family will get involved in the process for their own reasons, not necessarily just to please you. Help each family member pinpoint their own motivations for wanting to get organized.
Each of us has a strong suit when it comes to being organized. Find that about each family member and emphasize it. Take the opportunity to share your organizational strengths and tips, and ask them to do the same. Offer praise, not criticism.
Organizing isn’t about getting rid of things at all. It is about identifying what’s important to you and giving those things a reliable, consistent home. Don’t try to force your family member to get rid of their things, but to prioritize which things holds the most importance and to focus their organizational goals around that.
Finally, being organized is about being responsible. If your child or family member has worked hard to get organized and stay organized, recognize this feat and reward it. Perhaps you can come up with a family reward such as a new croquet set for the backyard that everyone can play, or purchasing three or four new board games the family can play together. And remember, the best teacher for your family is you, so lead by example. Maintain your personal organization systems and consistently strive to improve and find new ways to keep on top of the clutter so chaos doesn’t overrun your life. They’ll learn by your example.
