Organizing and de-cluttering your home can be daunting. Conflicting emotions are sure to arise, so first, prepare yourself mentally. When you sense these feelings bubbling up, remind yourself that this is normal. Start thinking about enlisting a support team: a trusted family member, friend or professional to help you step by step through the process. Here are some initial helpful hints:
◆ Clear Pathways. Cluttered or disorganized floor spaces or stairs are major safety concerns. De-clutter walkways first so you can ensure ease of movement throughout your home.
◆ Use Clear Containers. Clear containers allow you to easily see what’s stored where. In the kitchen, OXO Pop containers designed for people with arthritis open easily and seal in freshness.
◆ Maximize Vertical Space. Over-the-door storage racks and wall hooks help turn an ordinary wall or door into efficient storage space. These items are particularly useful if you’ve already downsized to a smaller space and are still needing homes for some of your belongings.
◆ Optimize Closet Organization. An organized closet makes getting dressed much easier. Organize your pantry for more effective meal preparation. The freedomRail® closet system provides a sturdy, flexible and economical solution to pantry, closet and storage area organization.
