Top tips… for getting more organised (you CAN be)

HerFamily

They say that for every minute spent organising, an hour is earned. If that is the case, we need to devote more time to this important task. A whole lot more time. 

From meal-planning and homework-checking, to budgeting and birthday present-buying, there is so much to keep in order in a home for it to keep running as smoothly as possible. And while it can seem like a major task, there are some fantastic resources out there to get your mind and your home feeling less cluttered and more organised.

Try these simple tips for getting more organised:

1. Get yourself some meal planning charts

Not only will these save you time, they’re also sure to save you money. Pinterest is packed full of gorgeous meal-planning boards. Search around for a colour, pattern or template that most appeals to you. Or get creative, and put one together like the cute chart below.

2. Use your walls to plan

Head back to Pinterest and delve in the world of wall planners. If your little ones are anything like ours, their social life is more jam-packed than yours. Invest in a wall planner so that you’ll never miss a birthday party or swimming competition again. Before you know it, you’ll be lost without it.

3. Spend on storage solutions

Having the right storage for you and your family is key to keeping a home organised. Check out Muji or Tiger for really creative options that would look well in any home.

4. Organisation apps

There are so many fantastic apps out there that can help transform and simplify day to day tasks and chores. Our pick of the bunch? Awesome Note (+Todo) is a gorgeous colourful app for creating notes and to-do lists. Of all the personal organisation apps out there, this is one of the most visually appealing and it allows users to choose colours, background images, fonts and icons they want to include in their notes. It’s a treat to use.

5. Invest in a gorgeous chalk board

Go old school and pick yourself up a blackboard and some colourful chalk. There are a whole load of great board options out there. Or if you’re restricted for space, pick yourself a decorative Wallsticker like the below from Ferm Living. Apply to a smooth surface to transform your space.  This vinyl sticker will transform your room in minutes.
