The other day I was reading an article about organizing your household. In it was a method that I think I will try. I've tried many different ways to attempt to organize our house, but nothing seems to stick. So what harm can it do to try something different? Who knows? I may warm up to and stick with it. Or I may throw it by the wayside like so many others LOL
The method is called PILLS.
P = Pull everything out
I = Inventory what you have and put like items together
L = Let go of things, figure out what to get rid off and donate
L = Label and contain stuff
S = Style
One of the things that made a lot of sense was not to label and contain stuff before sorting it and dividing it into groups of things to dispose of. If you do, it simply creates more work later because you're basically just moving things around without making long lasting progress. Admittedly, I have done this many times thinking I'll get to it later. Well, we all know that later never really comes.
Style is one thing that the article did not go into at all. I am assuming that it means that when you are sorting through stuff, don't hold onto things that do not fit into your style. Well, that is all well and good unless your style is eclectic LOL Ah, well. But I do get the idea of what was being said and maybe I can define my style a little better. We shall see.
Anyway, I will give this method a try. It can't hurt. Can it? LOL So ends today's episode of "Around the House".
That is all
