5 Great Ways Labels Will Get You Organized
In today’s world, everyone has stuff. Paper stuff, plastic stuff, dishes stuff, clothes stuff, TV stuff, computer stuff, phone stuff, book stuff, and the list goes on and on. And, of course, most of the stuff has labels . Labels in the clothes to tell you who made them and how to wash it, labels on cans so we know what is in it, labels on the back or front of things to tell you about who made it or the model number or some government regulations. And there are thousands of articles out there that tell you how to organize your stuff so you can have space for more stuff. Sounds a bit like a George Carlin routine!
So what does this article tell you that the others don’t? Easy! You can organize for the next year, but without a clear way of finding all the great things you are organizing, you are wasting your time. But if you use labels to help you categorize your stuff, finding what you need when you need it can be a breeze.
First, using color coded labels can easily simplify things. Have you ever moved and didn’t properly label your boxes? By choosing a color to represent each room, it is easy for the movers (or your cousin) to figure out which box goes in which room. And you don’t have to take the time to write on each box, losing time trying to remember where you put the marker, etc. A quick peel and stick of a green label for the kitchen, a pink label for the girls’ room and the box is ready to be put on the truck or in storage.
Speaking of storage, a lot of boxes wind up in storage for later retrieval. But when it comes time to retrieve them, unless we’ve taken the time to label them, finding what we’re looking for could be a nightmare. And again, this is where color coding can help. Bright colors like yellow or lime are great when you need to write things like the title of magazines or the year of publication. You can also use yellow labels for boxes of other books too. By alphabetizing them and putting a list of those books in the top of the box you can save an enormous amount of time when it comes to finding that copy of “The Grapes of Wrathâ€
