| 10 fun ways to get organisedEve Liu July 13, 2016
Packing can sometimes really be a chore especially when we don’t know where to start and the term “neat and tidy” seems to be a goal that’s constantly out of reach.
The good news is that things are about to change with these 10 simple and creative ways to get yourself in order, some of which can also help save the environment! The key here is to remember that setting aside a little time for these ideas will save you even more time further down the road.
Start today and de-clutter away! You will absolutely love these ideas. |
1. NEVER LOSE YOUR REMOTE AGAINDon’t you just hate having to scan your entire living room for the remote when your favourite TV program is about to start? With this pocket-in-a-cushion idea, you will never lose your remote control again. Unless of course, your cushion disappears too. |
2. DOUBLE UP YOUR WARDROBE SPACEToo many clothes and too little wardrobe space? This is an idea most women would love. This environmentally-friendly trick lets you hang more with less. Start collecting those tabs from your coke can! |
3. GET KNOTTYLoop your collection of scarves, shawls and tights around the length of your hangers to keep them free from tangles and creases. I particularly love this idea as you don’t need to buy separate hooks or worry that your scarves would slip off! |
4. CREATE HANDBAG PIGEONHOLESWhat a lovely idea it is to create handbag compartments with these adjustable plastic dividers. No more squashing your pretty bags on top of one another and watching them go out of shape! |
5. LABEL EVERYTHINGLabel your shoeboxes, documents, herbs, spices and condiments with these chic stickers. There are many sites that offer free printables in pdf files and all you need to do is print them on sticker paper and start sticking them wherever you need. Perfect for those among us who are obsessed with creating order. |
6. DESIGN CORD KEEPERSRe-use your toilet rolls as funky cord holders! You can even label your rolls so you never have to spend the next ten years figuring out which cable belongs to which gadget. |
7. CRAFT COOL PET FOOD TINSDon’t know what to do with the endless cookie tins that you receive over Christmas? Give them a fresh coat of paint and label on what you like so you can finally throw those annoying plastic food packs away. |

8. TUCK THEM ALL INWhy didn’t we think of this earlier? Fold all your sheet sets into one pillowcase so you never have to sift through endless sheets of different prints. Ah…how neat! |
9. KEEP THEM CLASSYI’ve not seen a classier way to store those ugly toilet rolls. Keep your rolls neatly stacked in a tall glass vase under the sink or cabinet. Toilet rolls have never looked so good. And they won’t get wet too! |
10. REMEMBER YOUR PASSWORDSAs password creation gets more demanding these days with uppercase, lowercase letters, numbers and symbols, one really needs to find a way to organize them. Most people would save them in a document while others store them in a USB with high-tech fingerprint recognition. Of course, you could always consider free programs online that offer password database protection with secure encryption algorithms. |
Getting organised should be practical and fun. Sometimes, all you need is an inspiring idea to get you started! The rest is really up to your imagination. |
