- Grab a basket or bin and toss anything in that is out of place. Look for errant socks and things that really belong in the bathroom or the kitchen.
-
Return everything in that bin that belongs in your bedroom to it's proper place.
-
Head to the closet and concentrate first on hanging clothes and ensure that similar items are hung together (pants with pants, button-down shirt with button-down shirts - you get the idea). Move hanging pieces until everything is hung together the way you like it. For instance, if you want to have everything color-coded keep going until all of your navy blues are lined up.
-
Then start on the folded clothes in your closet like sweaters and long-sleeve shirts. There's no need to re-fold everything (unless it's a total disaster in there) just straighten the stacks. If you continually notice your neatly folded stacks of sweaters and moving out of place, consider some shelf dividers.
-
Next, spend 5-10 minutes picking out your clothes for the next 3 days. I promise, this will make your life infinitely easier! Hang the next day's outfit up on a valet hook. This process will save you about 30 minutes over the next 3 mornings while only taking your 5-10 right now, since you're already in your closet and have just touched and eyed the majority of your wardrobe
-
Since you're already in your bedroom, you may as well straighten up your night table for 2 minutes. Move reading materials, jewelry and glasses back to their homes.
-
Finally, take that bin and return everything in it that belongs outside the bedroom and return it to its proper storage space.
