Every once in a while you encounter home organization tasks, that take more time to accomplish than usual. Whenever this happens to me, I have different ways to handle those kinds of tasks and because of that, I can acutally accomplish them as well. This article explains three different approaches you can take, whenever you encounter a big home organization task.

Batch as much as possibleI try to group many similar tasks together and handle them at once. Whenever you do something, try to figure out in advance if there is anything else you could do while doing home organization tasks. For example, if you are organizing your master closet and you need to take something to the basement, try to figure out if there is something else too in your household that you can take there at the same time.

Start from the most difficult part firstWhen entering a room and getting started with organization tasks, start from the most difficult part first. By this way after you have finished the most difficult part first, the rest of the tasks are smoother and you don't have to worry about the hard part anymore.

Take breaksHome organization is very physical work. Some parts of it may be easier than others, but anyway, try to take breaks every once in a while. You can sit down, have perhaps a cup of coffee and then continue again with your work. Taking breaks makes wonders to your productivity. Sometimes you may even want to take bigger breaks. For example, I have done some big organizational tasks during the morning and then stopped. Finally I started working on it again in the evening and I was able to complete it. Because my day wasn't just all about organizing and my mind was somewhere else for many hours between the sessions, I was able to get back to work refreshed again and had motivation to complete the task.
