According to Rosie Mary Rojas, Operations Manager at Espaço A+, own storage, organize objects into boxes A great option for those who have little space at home. “It’s a way to free up space by making sure everything is well stored in a safe place.”

In addition, other tips are important to help make home organization more efficient and less tiring. Check out some tips on how to properly organize your home:

1. View papers and documents

When putting away documents, be careful not to throw away invoices for products that are still under warranty and original personal documents such as certificates.

Those that are over five years old or no longer need storage can be thrown away. Manuals and documents in general can also be deleted if they are no longer needed.

To make things easier, documents should ideally be divided into tagged folders with an indication of the content they contain.

two. organize your wardrobe

Another way to make your daily life easier is to keep on hand the clothes used in the current season, such as dresses, shorts, tank tops and beachwear.

Coats and boots can be stored in a separate place, protected from mold. For some specific materials, such as leather, it is recommended to take them out of the wardrobe every 30 days, leaving the clothes in the shade and in a cool place.

Regardless of the item, if it is used sporadically and is useful, it is important that it is kept clean, keeping in mind that white items require special care to avoid yellowing.

Rule to apply: If an item hasn’t been used in the last year, that’s a sign that it’s left over and you can pass it on by donating or reselling it.

3. organize objects

A surfboard, a tent, a bike, tools, paintings, furniture, and more are some examples of items that take up a lot of space and are not always used in everyday life.

An alternative is to store them in a drawer, as most apartments don’t have enough space to store spare items.

“In this way, home conditions are ultimately optimized, and the “dirty room” can become an office, atelier or studio,” the manager suggests.

four. keep the organization

This is a task that should be routine to avoid clutter buildup and facilitate maintenance of the premises. Putting a weekly schedule into your calendar and treating it like a commitment is a suggestion that works: don’t pile up tasks!

Thus, small weekly organizations speed up the process and help avoid procrastination.

“Keeping the house in order also makes it easier to clean up in the hustle and bustle of everyday life, as the person does not waste time looking for what they need, since the materials will be stored in the right place,” the Espaço manager concludes. A+.
