You may appear organized to others but if you don't know what you have and can't find anything, Nothing Out's feel disorganized, overwhelmed and ineffective.

We all have natural behaviors regarding the use of time and how we organize the spaces we inhabit.

Although a #Nothing Out organizing personality likes clear surfaces and clean spaces, they sometimes feel very disorganized.

In their efforts to tidy, Nothing Outs will do anything to make their environment 'look' organized. But, without systems, they can 'feel' like a total mess!

In their effort to tidy (especially for surprise company), Nothing Out's tend to dash around and stash stray items away - ANYWHERE they can find an open space. If this becomes a pattern, it can lead to disorganized spaces!

Just because it looks tidy, doesn't mean it's organized. Organized is defined as
1. knowing what you have
2. having what you need
3. knowing where to find items
4. finding things when you need them

Open your cupboards, cabinets and drawers.... what's inside? If you have cluttered hiding and storage spaces, you may feel disorganized and not look it.

Nothing Out's believe that 'a clear surface is an organized life'! but, if they put items away in haste, they may forget where it is when it's needed again quickly. When too many things are stashed away with no systems it can become overwhelming...

If you feel disorganized and harried, but look tidy and put together... it's time to dig deeper. You might be a #Nothing Out personality.

There are prescriptive approaches that always help #Nothing Out's get organized.

Create a basic sorting system for incoming paperwork (and everything else) that comes into your space. Sorting (and purging) items as they come in helps you master your space rather than disorganized stashes mastering you.

Clear surfaces sing and clutter is 'noise' to #Nothing Out's so find storage items that you love, match your style yet are functional conceal things from view!

Buy a label maker (and don't forget the batteries!)
This one purchase may actually change your life!

Sometimes #Nothing Out personalities think even labels are clutter. BUT if you can't find what you have, your system won't work! Label items to see and instantly know exactly what's stored inside.

Although you may look organized, the way to feel organized is when you can find it when you need it. So set up systems 'behind the scenes' by labeling storage areas behind closed doors.

Create a basic sorting system that organizes things functionally. This means that you'll need to store items closest to where they will be most used.

One of the oldest organizing mottos is 'like with like'. In other words, categorize and store items that go together... together! (This 'chunking' helps you remember where things are.)

Even your junk deserves a home. Drawer dividers work really well to assign items an address. And, don't forget to put things back when you use them. You don't want a bunch of homeless items floating around before company comes!

Dividers can be created out of just about anything. I've used shoe boxes, to food storage containers to packaging pieces. Anything you use to create a basic sorting system for behind-the-scenes storage will enhance your feeling of being organized rather than disorganization mastering you.

Oh yes, if I haven't said it enough - Label everything. So many #Nothing Out's fight this one simple technique - and it always works!
