I just rearranged our room. Me, my son and my hubby stays in one small room and we lack space to put our stuff on, Our room can easily get cluttered and unorganized in just a coupe of moves and a few things thrown on the floor or on the bed because it is super small, So I decided to rearrange and organize things. We started buying storage bins and baskets that are cheap yet useful and spacious. I love how we can place the bins under the bed or stack them together inside the closet and create more space for other stuff. Since watching organizing tutorials on youtube have been like a past time to me, I started getting addicted to organize this small room and I am so happy to know where everything is when someone need it. I can easily find things now and life is easier and we don't have to waste our time looking for something on a pile of clothes because whenever we need something, we already know where to find it. Thanks to my organizing tips that I learn on youtube and pinterest I feel like such a great housewife and it is so relaxing to come inside a clean and organized room after a stressful day.

Storage bins are useful specially if you have a small space. As much as possible, I don't keep old things to prevent stuffs from occupying the space in our small house. t the end of the year, I will ask my children to organize their things inside their rooms and to set aside those things they are not using anymore. We gave those things to some relatives and friends.
Have a nice day!

That is awesome that you are finding ways to make the best of your space. I have moved around a lot and am currently living in a close quartersituation. I have maximized my living space by using multifunction pieces such as my coffee table that doubles as my dresser. I think if you implemented that into your routine it will also make you feel less overwhelmed. You could try a label maker too. I have 10 storage containers in my garage and a labelmaker is a savior. Plus with labels I can pull it off and use the container for something else as opposed to my old method of permanent marker on a tote that ends up being used for something else.

It's really hard to live in a small space so we have to be creative and resourceful when it comes to organizing and cleaning up the small space we have for it to feel a little bit bigger than it is. Thanks for your advice and I will surely try it as soon as possible. :)

Well that is absolutely great to hear about your room's rearrangement and i am pretty much sure that now your room must be looking organized that before that would be making your tasks easier. Besides when u have good organizing skills it will help u to do tasks at a quicker pace and this has worked in your favor completely.

well, I can't say that our room is really looking organized and neat. It still can get cluttered easily because we're still short on storage and we're still buying every bins and basket one or two piece at a time because they are kind of expensive. But at least the place doesn't look as bad as it does before. anyway, thanks for your response and happy mylotting. :)
