Now that you have reflected on your needs, hopefully you’ll feel more refreshed. Here are ten tips on how to get organised:

1: Continue de-cluttering your home until you know where everything is and you’ve managed to clear out some unwanted items.
2: Allocate a place for everything, from your keys to your passport, to reduce your stress levels when you need to find an item quickly.
3: Give unwanted possessions to charity shops or sell them online. Recycle where you can and perhaps try to upcycle some of your old items.
4: Plan your weekly meals ahead and make a shopping list in advance.
5: Cook a larger quantity than you need and freeze a few portions – this is so beneficial when you’re in a rush or not in the mood to cook.
6: Invest in a filing cabinet and keep all of your bills and documents in it. In the top drawer store any that are due for renewal or payment.
7: Set one day aside each month to address your paperwork and pay your bills/run errands.
8: Start using a diary – you can jot down the things you need to do instead of trying to remember them all and cluttering your mind.
9: Put things away as you use them and clean up as you go along – it’s a good foundation for getting organised.
10: Make use of the sales – buy greeting cards in bulk for future occasions, and buy storage containers/filing systems to help you keep tidy!
