Key areas of the organization
Some aspects of life simply require the organization, and spent her time and effort pays off handsomely.
By now you're probably thinking: my house requires an organizational transformation! Make yourself comfortable. Breathe deeply. While most of us really could use some help of a professional organizer, some of the "problem areas" we could put in order its own.
Children and bedrooms
Children need a quiet place where they could relax after a busy and tiring day. Correct organization of space in the nursery will help your child relax both during a short break in the afternoon and before bedtime. Children or bedroom - the only room where foreign objects should be at least. The more things in the room - the more distracted the child, the longer it can not fall asleep. If you want to have children are well rested, you need to in the bedroom around them a minimum of things.
Proper organization of the child's bedroom space will help keep his things clean and tidy, teach him to understand how important it is to monitor their belongings. When you tell your child to clean clothes, he will know that things need to be put on the shelf in the closet and not shove under the bed, but that they were not visible. And when he would have to find a book or a disc, it will not have to turn the room upside down, because the necessary thing will be exactly where it should be.
Ideally, in a nursery or children's bedroom should not be toys (except for books and stuffed toys that the child can cuddle at bedtime), but unfortunately, this is only possible if you have at home there is a separate playroom children. If you allow your child to keep toys in the bedroom (or because of the limited space you have no other choice), set clear rules that all toys should be removed before going to bed. Keep toys better on shelves or racks, but if the room is not the place of the child, and the shelves are occupied with other things, toys can be removed in large cardboard boxes or baskets.
Necessary trifles
Put in the child's room laundry basket - it promotes the formation of good habits and teaches him how to be independent. Choose a basket, which does not cause the child's problems, and place it in an accessible location. Easy laundry basket with mesh perfectly suitable for small children, it is very convenient to carry and quick to collect and hide when necessary.
In the closet or wardrobe in the room the child put the cart. This will help to quickly resolve the mess in the locker room. Throw in the clothes basket, from which the child grew up, or things that it just is not. At the end of season review the contents of the basket and select the items that you may need in the future (for example, for the younger children), and unnecessary clothing hand out to friends, family or given to an orphanage.
To put things in order on the shelves and in drawers, which houses the baby clothing, sort out things. Warm clothes are stored on the same shelf, T-shirts and shirts - on the other, underwear and pajamas - in the third. Those are things that a child is most likely to be put on the most intimate, easily accessible shelves, so they are always at hand. When such an organization will store your clothes in your system to maintain order will be fairly easy.
Built-in
If you hang clothes on hangers in the closet, to find it and to keep in order to be much easier. Hang clothing on a particular system, such as the function or set (that with what is worn) and then classify the color of clothes. If you need to hang out so the same thing in different sizes, using a stapler to attach clothes paper tag on it and select the size. But no matter which way the organization you choose, do not forget to prepare the baby clothes in the evening and put it on a chair or hang on the back of the bed, the child can easily find it.
Bathing and water treatment
From childhood to teach a child to an evening water procedures. When you have a child, you can let him splash around for hours in the bathroom, but if two or three children, water treatment should be short, as otherwise you will not last long. If you are lucky enough to have a house with two bathrooms, one of them must be designed exclusively for children. The drawers under the sink or in a closet keep clean baby clothes, pajamas and diapers, napkins and towels, as well as toys with which small children love to play while bathing. Older children who bathe without help from mom can hang my pajamas on a hook on the bathroom door. We also recommend to put in the bathroom laundry basket to the floor are not accumulated pile of dirty clothes.
If your house is only one bathroom, the children select a place to store their toiletries: soap, deodorant, and any other personal care products. If your family has children of different ages, use a kitchen timer to control the time spent by each of them in the bathroom (it often becomes an occasion for quarrels). Clean linens, soap, shampoo and towels are also kept in the kitchen out of the reach of children. Before bathing, check that all right there at your fingertips, so you do not leave your child unattended.
Photo
The organization of family photo archive - almost impossible task for the working mom who lays up the majority of the best times. But as long as these are not the best times have come, and you do not have an hour to sit down and put in order the album, just fold pictures of cases or boxes (best suited for this purpose shoe boxes). When time permits, you can review the photos, sorting them by year and expanded in the box (the new box - new year), indicating the year on the cover. Then, when you nov will be some free time, you can review the pictures in each box and to classify them by month, events or topics, dividing the stack of images using rubber bands or expanding envelopes. Clothing, landscape and what busy people on the photos will tell you exactly when the photo was taken.
Having examined old photos, you can develop a new system for organizing pictures. Paying photos to print, be sure to ask the employee services index print each picture. Printed photos are stored and indexed in a box in the kitchen, in the order in which you received from the press. When your photos are sorted in chronological order, you can always insert them into the album and will be able to do this when the free time will stand. When you have a system that is easy to organize a family photo archive. The main thing - to find a system that is easy to follow.

Now that you know the secrets of effective organization of everyday life, time and space, it's time to apply your knowledge in practice. Nona to any system or rules of procedure have to get used to. It takes time, so do not be discouraged if something goes wrong. In addition, you will have to adapt our ways of organizing offered to the specific needs and characteristics of your family.
Before introducing a new system of organization, discuss it with other family members. For example, if children will now have to keep the shoes in a basket in the closet, discuss with them this innovation and give them some time to get used to it. Young children need to be reminded of how much you need to put things every day before they will remember and will do it without your reminders. Remember illustrated schemes, which we discussed earlier in this article, - this technique will help children to better understand and remember what it is you want them to do.
