Tip #8: Label your boxes.

When you store things, make sure that you clearly label each box on the top and all sides. That way, no matter where it gets stacked or moved, you can quickly see what is in the box. Try to keep like items together in your attic. You will thank yourself when you are trying to find an old baseball cap you want and know that it is store in the box marked "hats."

Tip #9: Don’t be afraid to throw things away.

The most organized houses are the ones that are not cluttered. Although it is perfectly normal to have mementos and items that make you happy, you should get rid of the items that you do not use anymore. This will help you stay organized. Have a yard sale, give away items to the Salvation Army or another charity, you can also ask your friends and family if they would like the things you no longer need.

Tip #10: Stick to your schedule.

Being impromptu and spontaneous can be a ton of fun, but it is not always necessary. In fact, most of the time when we deviate from our schedules, it is just a matter of being lazy! Try not to get a late start on what you need to do - if you planned to go to the post office on Monday; do not put it off until Wednesday! Staying organized is not difficult, and the more organized you are with your schedule; the easier it is to take impromptu opportunities as they arise.
