Professional organizing is more than just tidying up and decluttering. It's a four-step process that takes time and dedication to achieve a beautifully organized and functional home. While there are many different ways to approach this task, I've created a four-step guide to help you completely organize and simplify your home.

Today, we're going to explore the first step of my professional organizing process: Get it out, get it out, get it out.

Diving Deeper Into Step One: Get It Out!

The first step to organizing any space is to get everything out. Yes, everything. This includes the garage, closets, bathroom, kitchen, and basement. You want to start with a blank slate so that you can organize everything and create a system that works for you.

When you get everything out of space, it allows you to see what you have and what you don't need. In addition, it's much easier to see your zones and realistically understand just how much stuff you actually have hidden away!

How to Get Started

Getting started with step one can be overwhelming. Here are some tips to help you get started:

Choose One Space At A Time

Starting with one space at a time can make the process less overwhelming. It's also easier to see progress when working only on one area.

Sort Your Real Estate

Once you pull it all out, sorting out those items into piles such as keep, donate, and trash is easier. Sorting your zones helps keep everything organized and make the process more efficient.

Discard Items You Don't Need

Once your zones are sorted, discarding what you don't need is easier. When in doubt, get rid of it! This will give you more space for the things that you actually use and enjoy.

Rent A Dumpster Or Hire A Junk Removal Service

If you have a lot of items to donate or throw away, consider renting a dumpster or hiring a junk removal service. This will make it easier to get rid of large items and to dispose of items correctly.

Conclusion

Getting everything out of your space may seem daunting, but it's the first step to creating an organized and functional home or workspace. As you sort your zones, label everything and remember to donate or dispose of items properly.

If you're feeling overwhelmed or don't have the time to complete step one, it may be time to call in a professional organizer.
