What is the CHAOS Method™ of Organization?
Have you ever wondered how we organize our clients’ homes? Or maybe where to start when organizing your own home?
We use the CHAOS Method™ to organize and here is what that means:
C – Categorize
H – Is it helpful or hurtful?
A – Take Action
O – Organize
S – Simplify
C - Categorize
As you are going through your belongings, it is important to put them into categories. Like items with like items. You will get a better idea about whether or not you need to hold onto four can openers, for instance.
H - Hurtful or helpful
As you go through your belongings ask yourself, is this item helpful or hurtful? Are you asking yourself how a tank top can be either helpful or hurtful? Well, what emotion does it elicit? This follows what Marie Kondo talks about and she has a valid point. What emotion do you feel? Go with your gut. If the emotion is not positive, that probably means you should eliminate it from your life.
A - Action
Take action once you have decided how you feel about a possession. Discard, donate, or keep.
O - Organize
Get containers to store your items.
S - Simplify
Label everything to set your family and yourself up for success in maintaining your organization systems.
Now enjoy the fruits of your efforts, sit back, and relax!
If you have any questions about our method or would like our help with getting organized, give us a call.
