home -- home organization -- home organization catalogs Home Organization: Catalogs Home organization can become difficult, especially if you have a large family. However, it can be done with careful planning, hard work, will power, and help from everyone in the household. One common problem with home organization is an overflow of catalogs and magazines. Here are some tips for organizing your catalogs in your home. Tip 1: Home organization always begins with clearing out the clutter. Go through your catalogs and magazines and throw out anything that you will not use or read. If a catalog is past its order availability dates, it is time for it to go. If a magazine is over six months old, it is time for it to go as well. If you have a lot of magazines, you might want to lower the time frame to three months. Tip 2: Homeschoolers and people with crafty children might wish to keep magazines and catalogs for use in collages and other art projects. You should tackle the organization of these catalogs and magazines in the same fashion. Rather than keeping every catalog and magazine that comes into the home, be selective. Look through the catalog or magazine and make sure that there are pictures that might be used for such purposes. If there are none, get rid of it. Tip 3: The next step to home organization is always finding a home for your things. Everything should have a place to belong so that it doesn't become clutter. Sort your catalogs and magazines by subject or type. Keep clothing catalogs together, and toy catalogs together. Current events magazines should be kept together, while teenage magazines should be kept in another group. There are many options for storing your magazines and catalogs. There are Rubbermaid boxes with lids that allow you to file your catalogs upright. There are magazine racks that sit next to sofas or chairs, or in the restroom. There are cloth or vinyl overlays for sofa or chair arms that allow storage of magazines that are read often. Be creative, check the thrift stores and dollar stores, and garage sales, and decide how you want to store your catalogs and magazines, and where you will keep them. If you keep magazines and catalogs for art or craft purposes, you will want a larger Rubbermaid container stored with your other arts and crafts supplies. Rubbermaid containers are always best for storing paper items, because they block moisture and allow for filing them in an organized fashion. Never stack catalogs and magazines flat. Always file them with the binding showing so that you can easily locate the name and publication date of the magazine or catalog. This will allow you to more easily find what you are looking for later. |
