Keeping things organised has been my forte for a very long time now and it's something I was taught while growing up. I can still remember when I was very young and living with my parents, the whole house would be clumsy that you wouldn't see where to place your legs because things were scattered everywhere, like spoons, papers, etc at every corner, having to step on water poured on the carpet which would make you slip/fall or having food particles littered on the floor and then stepping on them, it always irritates me and would immediately do the needful. What do you expect when you have little ones at home?
There are ways that aren't expensive of how I keep everything in my home simple and clean without finding A in B's space. Ways like nails on the wall to hang my bags, photo album, hangers etc.
I've learned to organise my clothes, both the clean and dirty ones by separating them. I don't always wash my clothes, but I do that once or twice a week, and this laundry basket serves as a place where I store the dirty ones so I wouldn't be confused about which one is clean or dirty.
Also, I have 2 racks (check the first image) where I place most of my stuff instead of just placing them anywhere in the house and would start doing an ultimate search for any item I want. Having these racks helps me easily find the stuff I need for the moment.
There is a small bag that was shared during my grandmother's burial, very small and portable to keep my make-up items, brush and other things when I am travelling, making my bag neat and organised. This saves more space when packing stuff.
How about the kitchen? This is one place I don't leave disorganised at all because I have realized one thing: when people enter your home, the first place they'd target to see is the kitchen. If your kitchen is a messy one, they feel scared eating in your house because they would have conclude you are dirty. This is why I keep my kitchen clean and organised, with more space to do whatever I want to do.
I was excited when I moved into this house and saw this storage plank where I could put some rubber plastics for my foodstuff, especially with how small the kitchen is. Having this helped to free up space and stay organised. There are different plastics that I store in raw foods and arrange accordingly. This keeps the place neat and easily fetched when I need any of them.
My utensils are sectioned in a plate rack, too and not just scattered around the whole kitchen. Just like a friend I know, it's always hard for me to eat over at her place with how disorganised her kitchen is and yes, this is what I also look for, too when I go to people's places and you can never find me eating or staying longer because of different smells coming out from each angle.
Being organised is a practice that keeps you clean and healthy including your home. You can move around wherever you like and not being restrained by stuff littered around. You also save yourself from those rodents that may want to visit when everywhere is choked and clumsy. I can't remember the last time I saw a cockroach in my home and that's because they don't have anything to feed on. Lol.
