Clear the Clutter: How to Purge and Declutter with NEAT

Clutter has a sneaky way of piling up—one item here, another there, until suddenly, your space feels overwhelming.

Whether it’s an overflowing closet, a packed garage, or simply too many things taking up valuable space, decluttering can feel like a daunting task. That’s where NEAT comes in! As professional organizers, we specialize in transforming chaotic spaces into peaceful, functional environments. Here’s how you can successfully purge and declutter your home or business, with expert guidance from NEAT.

Why Decluttering Matters

A clutter-free space isn’t just about aesthetics—it impacts your mental clarity, productivity, and overall well-being. Studies show that excess clutter can lead to stress, anxiety, and even decision fatigue. By purging what you don’t need, you create a more peaceful, efficient space that allows you to focus on what truly matters.

Step 1: Set a Decluttering Goal

Before diving in, take a moment to define your goals. Are you looking to reclaim your closet, organize your office, or do a full-home purge? Setting a clear objective helps you stay focused and prevents burnout.

NEAT TIP: If the task feels overwhelming, start small. Pick one room or even just one drawer to begin the process.

Step 2: Sort with the 4-Box Method

One of the most effective ways to declutter is by using the 4-Box Method – Keep, Donate, Trash, and Relocate.

  • Keep: Items you use regularly and truly need.
  • Donate: Items in good condition that you no longer use but could benefit someone else.
  • Trash: Broken, expired, or unusable items.
  • Relocate: Items that belong in another space or need better organization.

Work through one section at a time, placing each item in its designated box.

Step 3: The 80/20 Rule for Decluttering

Did you know that we typically use only 20% of our belongings 80% of the time? If you haven’t worn, used, or needed something in the past year, it’s probably time to let it go. Be honest with yourself—if an item doesn’t serve a purpose or bring you joy, it’s just taking up space.

NEAT TIP: Ask yourself, “Would I buy this today?” If the answer is no, it’s time to part ways.

Step 4: Organize as You Go

Decluttering isn’t just about getting rid of things—it’s also about creating systems that prevent future clutter. Once you’ve purged unnecessary items, organize what remains in a way that makes sense for your daily routine.

  • Use storage bins, baskets, and labels to keep similar items together.
  • Maximize vertical space with shelves and wall-mounted organizers.
  • Implement a one-in, one-out rule—if you bring in something new, let go of something old.

At NEAT, we specialize in designing organization systems tailored to your lifestyle or business needs, ensuring that once you declutter, your space stays that way.

Step 5: Let Go of Emotional Clutter

One of the hardest parts of decluttering is parting with sentimental items. While it’s important to honor memories, holding onto too many things from the past can make it difficult to fully enjoy your present space.

  • Keep only the most meaningful items and consider displaying them in a thoughtful way.
  • Take photos of sentimental items before letting them go.
  • If you’re struggling, ask yourself: Does this item serve me, or is it just taking up space?

If the emotional aspect of decluttering feels overwhelming, NEAT can guide you through the process with a compassionate and structured approach.

Step 6: Schedule Regular Purges

Decluttering isn’t a one-time event—it’s an ongoing process. To prevent clutter from creeping back in, schedule seasonal or quarterly purges.

  • The “One-Year Rule” – If you haven’t used something in a year, chances are you don’t need it.
  • The “Daily Declutter” Habit – Take just 10 minutes a day to tidy up and remove unnecessary items.
  • The “End-of-Season Sweep” – Reassess clothing, holiday decorations, and seasonal items to donate or discard what’s no longer needed.

NEAT TIP: Add decluttering reminders to your calendar to stay on track!

Decluttering on your own can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone! NEAT offers personalized decluttering and organization services to help you reclaim your space—whether it’s your home, office, or business.

How to Declutter and Organize for the Holidays: A Step-by-Step Guide

The holiday season is filled with joy, celebration, and, let’s be honest, a bit of chaos.

Between hosting gatherings, decorating, and managing gift exchanges, your home can quickly feel overwhelming. Starting with a decluttered and organized space not only reduces stress but also sets the tone for a warm, inviting atmosphere.

Here’s how you can declutter and organize your home for the holidays in a manageable and stress-free way.

1. Start Early and Make a Plan

Don’t wait until the week before your big holiday event to start decluttering. Give yourself enough time by setting a timeline and breaking tasks into manageable sections.

Pro Tip: Focus on one area at a time—living room, kitchen, guest room—so you don’t get overwhelmed. Use a checklist to track your progress.

2. Prioritize High-Traffic Areas

Think about where most holiday activities will take place. The living room, dining area, and entryway are likely spaces to prioritize.

  • Living Room: Create space for holiday decorations by clearing out unnecessary items like old magazines, unused throws, or trinkets.
  • Dining Area: Ensure enough room for extra chairs or a buffet setup by decluttering side tables or removing nonessential furniture.
  • Entryway: Make a welcoming first impression by organizing shoes, coats, and bags into designated storage.

Pro Tip: Baskets or decorative bins can be a quick and stylish solution for stashing clutter.

3. Declutter the Kitchen for Holiday Cooking

The kitchen is the heart of most holiday celebrations, so keeping it functional is key.

  • Check your pantry for expired items and make space for holiday ingredients.
  • Clear off countertops by storing small appliances that won’t be in use.
  • Organize serving dishes, glassware, and utensils to ensure easy access during gatherings.

Pro Tip: Use drawer organizers or dividers to keep utensils and tools in their place.

4. Prepare Guest Rooms or Sleeping Areas

If you’re hosting overnight guests, make sure their space is inviting and clutter-free.

  • Remove or store personal items to create room for your guests’ belongings.
  • Provide clean bedding, extra towels, and a space for hanging clothes.
  • Add a basket of essentials like toiletries or snacks for a thoughtful touch.

Pro Tip: Use under-bed storage bins to keep extra blankets or off-season items out of sight.

5. Streamline Your Holiday Decorations

Decorating for the holidays doesn’t have to mean overloading every corner of your home.

  • Before pulling out your decorations, evaluate what you already have. Donate items you no longer love or use.
  • Group decorations by theme or room for a cohesive look.
  • Store decorations in clear, labeled bins so you can easily find what you need.

Pro Tip: Rotate decorations each year to keep your look fresh without feeling cluttered.

6. Create Gift Wrapping and Storage Zones

Gift wrapping supplies and holiday presents can quickly overtake your space. Keep them organized with a dedicated area.

  • Use a wrapping station with compartments for paper, ribbons, and tags.
  • Store gifts in labeled bins or bags until it’s time to wrap them.

Pro Tip: Keep a pair of scissors, tape, and markers handy to avoid scrambling for supplies.

7. Donate Before You Accumulate

The holidays often bring new items into your home, from gifts to decorations. Create space for the new by donating or discarding things you no longer need.

  • Encourage the whole family to get involved by donating gently used toys, clothes, and household items.
  • Look for local charities or shelters that accept donations before the holidays.

Pro Tip: Set a goal of removing one item for every new one that comes into your home.

8. Maintain the Momentum

Once your home is decluttered and organized, keep it that way by building a simple maintenance routine.

  • Spend 10–15 minutes each day tidying up to prevent messes from piling up.
  • Encourage family members to clean as they go, especially during holiday activities.

Pro Tip: Use a calendar or reminder app to stay on track with daily or weekly cleaning goals.

Give Yourself The Gift of an Organized Home This Season

A decluttered, organized home is the best gift you can give yourself during the holidays. It reduces stress, enhances your space’s functionality, and allows you to fully enjoy the season with your loved ones. Remember, the key is to start early, stay focused, and tackle one area at a time. Here’s to a joyful, clutter-free holiday season!

Fall Organizing: Preparing For Seasonal Changes

Fall Organizing: Preparing for Seasonal Changes

Summer is over, kids are back in school, football is back, and I don’t know about you, but I’m dreaming of cooler weather. Life is about to get busier! Are you ready for it? Fall organization is essential as you prepare for all the parties, events, and weather changes.

1. Seasonal Wardrobe Transition

Fall organizing starts with prepping your wardrobe for the cooler weather. It’s time to say goodbye to summertime shorts and tanks and hello to sweaters and jackets!

  • For Southern Living: If you live in the South like I do, you know we keep summer clothes around all year—at least t-shirts, shorts, and a pair or two of flip-flops! It can be 50 degrees one day and 75 the next. However, sun dresses, tank tops, and swimsuits can be stored away until next year.
  • Practical Storage: Move those summer clothes to the back of your closet or an empty closet if you have one. In the spring, I packed all of my winter bedding in resealable bags and moved them to my attic. Now, it’s almost time to bring that bedding out, purge what I won’t use this year, and wash the rest.

2. Declutter and Donate

As we transition into fall, it’s the perfect time to declutter. Last week, I took a large drop of fall/winter clothes to donations and some to consignment.

  • Set a Shopping Budget: I encourage you to set a shopping budget and let go of items to make space for anything new you might want for the fall season.
  • Smart Shopping: Make a list of clothes you need and commit to buying only those items. Don’t buy new clothes if you don’t have room to keep them!

3. Fall Decoration Organization

The next task on the list is fall decorating. I absolutely love decorating for fall! Is there such a thing as too many pumpkins? 🎃

  • Assess Your Decor: As you pull out all your fall decorations, take notes on how you stored them last year. Use these tips to effectively organize your summer and fall home decorations.
  • Toss the Old: Get rid of anything that’s faded, torn, or damaged.

Happy Fall, Y’all!

Utilizing Space When Organizing

Utilizing Space When Organizing

When a client reaches out for an organizing job, our first step is to discuss their problem areas and schedule a meeting. During this consultation, I make sure to ask about other areas in the home used for storage, such as closets, cabinets and drawers.

Assessing Space Utilization

I frequently discover that clients are not utilizing their spaces as efficiently as they could be. Common issues include:

  • Kitchens: Higher cabinets and top pantry shelves are often used to store infrequently used items like platters, holiday decor, and crock pots.
  • Coat Closets: These are often almost empty, while the mudroom might be overcrowded with items.

This is where the process of purging and relocating items becomes essential!

Strategies for Efficient Space Utilization

  1. Declutter: Start by removing unnecessary items to keep your space clear and organized.
  2. Establish Zones: Prioritize frequently used items and place them in the most accessible locations.
  3. Hidden Storage: Utilize furniture with hidden storage, such as seating that lifts, to save space and keep things tidy. Reserve high cabinets for seasonal decor and larger appliances.
  4. Use Wall Space: Think vertically! Install floating shelves, pot racks, wall hooks or additional shelves or cubbies to maximize wall space.
  5. Inside Door Space: Don’t forget to use the inside of doors for additional storage options.

By employing these strategies, you can make the most of your space, enhancing both storage and functionality.

Happy Organizing! 💗

The Importance of Networking As A Small Business Owner

The Importance of Networking As A Small Business | Neat Organizing

As we move forward in 2024, my primary goal for NEAT is to maximize our business networking efforts. I am determined to put our services in front of as many people as possible.

What is Business Networking?

Business networking is the process of building strategic and valuable relationships and connections for expanding your services or products. It’s all about relationship building and creating a supportive network of contacts.

The Benefits of Industry-Specific Conferences

Attending industry-specific conferences is essential for keeping up with the latest industry trends and for meeting competitors, companies and individuals who can benefit from your services. Building a network with your peers is a great place to start. This year, NEAT joined Business Networking International (BNI), and the experience has been fantastic!

Our Experience with BNI

BNI’s weekly meetings and networking opportunities are outstanding. These gatherings bring together passionate business people who share leads and support each other. Typically, each BNI chapter allows only one representative per industry, such as one accountant, one financial advisor and so on, ensuring a diverse and non-competitive environment.

The Weekly BNI Meeting Rundown

Here’s what a typical BNI meeting looks like:

  • 8:00 am: Arrival, open networking and a refreshing cup of coffee.
  • Welcome Session: An opportunity to introduce yourself to the group.
  • Referral Exchanges: Engage in exchanging referrals with other members.
  • Featured Presentation: Gain insights from a featured speaker.
  • Treasurer’s Report: Review the financial health and activities of the chapter.
  • Wrap-Up: New members and visitor orientations ensure everyone feels included and informed.

While the format may vary slightly between chapters, this is generally what you can expect.

Join BNI to Grow Your Business

If you’re looking for ways to build your business and connect with potential customers, I highly recommend finding a BNI chapter in your area. It’s an invaluable resource for expanding your network and growing your business.

Neat’s 2024 Business Goals

With six months left in 2024, my goals are clear:

  1. Engage in 1:1 Meetings: Meet with other business owners to understand their work and share what NEAT offers.
  2. Maximize Networking Opportunities: Attend as many business meetings and networking events as possible.

I am passionate about what we do at NEAT Organizing and eager to share how beneficial our services are. Our focus extends beyond closets and pantries; we can transform any space in your home or business.

Neat and Organized: A Guide To Decluttering and Maximizing Your Space

Neat and Organized: A Guide to Decluttering and Maximizing Space

Recently, Neat organized a large and spacious kitchen and pantry.

We always begin the organizing process by removing everything from the spaces we organize—every drawer, cabinet, and shelf.

We did the same in another home: our client’s master closet.

So often, as life goes on, we end up with things in areas of our homes that don’t necessarily belong in that area.

For example, tools, medicine, or paperwork in the kitchen. Serving trays, candles, and holiday decor in the pantry.

Master Closets can become a drop zone for many things besides clothes, shoes, and accessories. When Neat organizes, we do our best to remove anything that does not belong in the correct place.

We work with our clients to declutter and purge what does not belong in a particular area.

I often see areas full of “stuff” and other areas, which I call prime real estate areas, not being utilized.

Once the purge/declutter/donate/trash/relocate happens, our clients will be amazed at the space available in their kitchen, pantry, and closet! 

If you want to do a quick reset of any area of your home, start by removing anything that does not belong in that area. Empty one drawer, one shelf, and reset one space at a time. 

Do you ever spend more time than needed looking for something? Get frustrated because you can’t find a shirt, a pair of earrings or documents you need asap? Once you relocate things to their correct place in your home you will be amazed at how quickly you will feel less stressed and distracted.

Get Neat and Organized over the summer one space at a time!

Happy Organizing

Creative Solutions for a Functional Kitchen Space

Creative Solutions for a Functional Kitchen Space

Organizing your kitchen can make cooking and meal prep a breeze. Our approach focuses on one simple rule: make the most of your space. Whether you’re dealing with cramped cabinets or overflowing drawers, we’re here to help you clear the clutter and create a kitchen that works for you.

Visualize Your Clutter

Start by emptying out every drawer and cabinet. This helps you see what you have and makes it easier to decide what to keep and what to get rid of. Sort your items into these categories:

  • Plates and bowls
  • Cups, glasses and water bottles
  • Baking
  • Kitchen gadgets
  • Cooking utensils
  • Pots and pans
  • Serveware
  • Spices
  • Pantry

Then, create piles for items you want to donate, sell or keep.

Strategic Storage Solutions

You have to think outside the box when organizing a cluttered kitchen. We use products like lazy susans, risers, utensil holders and dividers, but you don’t need to purchase extra products to get organized. The key is to let go of things that are causing clutter.

When organizing, create specific zones such as a coffee bar, place a dish towel rack next to the sink or keep daily use cups near the dishwasher. Store items you use less often in higher cabinets, and place seasonal items such as cookie cutters or serving platters with other holiday decorations in the garage or attic.

Make use of vertical space, as well. You may be able to add shallow racks or hooks to the inside of cabinet and pantry doors to take advantage of every inch of space. Or, add a wall or ceiling-mounted pot rack to clear up some space inside cabinets. Don’t forget the space between the upper cabinets or shelves and the countertop. It’s a perfect space for hanging paper towels or adding magnetic strips for knives and other utensils.

Embrace Routine Decluttering

Don’t forget to regularly declutter and toss out broken or unused items to keep your kitchen organized. I suggest taking the time to work on each zone at least four times a year, where you toss broken or unusable items. Also keep an eye on plastic containers, to-go cups and shopping bags so they don’t take over any of your new-found storage space.

By maximizing your space and keeping things simple, you can create a kitchen that works for you. With a little effort and the right strategies, you can enjoy a clutter-free and functional cooking space every day.
