Answer 1

If you type in "organizing" into your computer you will find some awesome sites that include videos on "how to." My sister is a born slob (although I love her to death) and over the years I've helped her try to keep her stuff organized. Here are some tips that work for me.

1. If you haven't used it in over a year, toss it.

2. Invest in some clear storage containers that can stack on top of one another. Label each one after you fill it with like objects.

3. Avoid clutter. How many ornaments do you really need?

4. Make yourself a chart that gives you as many tasks as you can handle during one day. For example, on Monday you may vacuum all carpets, wash one bathroom and sweep the kitchen floor. That's all you do on that day. Tuesday you do the other bathroom, tidy the computer room, etc.

5. Teach your children. Keeping a house clean and organized is a family affair. Offer incentive to keep them interested. A chart for their chores is also a good idea.

6. Laundry is a big one for me. I do one load a night or I'm bound to fall behind.

7. Save the biggest jobs for the weekend and get everyone involved.

8. A filing cabinet can be your best friend when it comes to the never ending mail pile. Shred anything you don't need.

9. I keep a small trash container in every room, including the living room. Pick a day to change them all.

*If you have a chance to watch an hour of TV, look for a program called Clean Sweep. Its an enjoyable program with tons of great ideas to keep you from getting buried under your stuff.

Good Luck and Happy Cleaning.

PS. When I was helping my sister, one of the issues she had was moving on to another job or room before finishing the one she started on. Stay in that room until you are certain it is finished, then pick another room.

I've read before to start in one corner of the room and work your way around.  Also, it helps to start small and not get overwhelmed.  If you do about 15 mins a day with a timer, you don't feel overwhelmed and behind before you even start.  For me, having a place for everything and everything in it's place has worked a lot.  I also try to do things now and not later.  It takes way less time to clean up a mess than to think about it all day. Also, if you have a lot of clutter decide on what you love and have a box for things you can donate or give away that you are not using or that are just taking up space. Anything that is broken should go in the trash for the most part.  Being organized takes a little work every day, but will give you such a peace of mind that it's worth it.

First Time is a factor! If this is happening like

tomorrow Call a Maid Service. If you have better

like a week to 3 weeks. Do not start cleaning until

the kids are fed and chained in the basement, No,

just put them on the school bus or park them in

front of a Tellie in the playroom. Why this approach?

The playroom is Chaos Central always the last to

clean because it is always turned upside down.

Raised two boys myself, and I'm a Guy!

Clean the upstairs clean in this order.

Unused or guestrooms first. Your room,

the bathroom, the hallway, then the first

cleaning of the kids room do an intensive job

here. Then the first cleaning of the bathroom,

clean the floors, walls, sink, toilet, then the

bath. You will re-clean the kids room and the

bathroom, as Chaos dictates they will need it.

Sit down and pat yourself on the back.

You survived the hill climb. Take a deep breath,

make a sammie, watch the soap operas you hate.

Then its time to attack the living room. Dust,

Vacuum, wipe fingerprints and juice box puddles

off the furniture. Clean the carpets with the Rug

Doctor if they look like someone played really

hard on them. If they are a passable semblance

of clean just vacuum and Febreeze the daylights

out of the carpet. Otherwise the smell of sweaty

T-shirts, kids socks, and the dog and the cat will

waft on the room like a barnyard or a locker room..

Vacuum the furniture because the frito bandito,

chester cheese,  Orvil  Redinpopper, and the Crack

Monster rule here.

Move to the dining room and just do the furniture

first then move out the chairs and vacuum and

Febreeze the floors. Clean the kitchen next, do

your dishes and put them away. Out of sight is out

of mind. Clean and move all portable appliances  to

the dining room, then clean your counters

and cabinets, clean your fridge outside. Replace or

put away your portable appliances. Now do

the floors,sweep, mop, sweep again then put down a

coat of finish on the tile or the wood floor.

Now its time for the hardest part, go back and

clean the kids room, the playroom, the hallways

and the bathroom last. These areas are you're

high traffic areas an areas of  demolition, and

child de-construction and renovation.

Sit down take a breather, remember that guy in the

living room is the culprit that started all this mess,

give him a hug or kick him out.

Go up stairs and mess up your bathtub and beg

Calgon to carry you away.  You earned it!  

OH BTW  Wipe the noses, butts and wash the laundry

when you get some down time. Its all relative.

BTWwhose idea was the house party Anyway!!

If you have enough time have a nice party!!
