Organizing Everything Today? Have Helpers? Direct Your Team

You need to take on a massive organizing project, but you don't have a clue where to start or what to do.  Here are some useful tips to help you get started.

1.  Assess how much stuff you need to get rid of.  Break your helpers up into teams:  sorters of kept goods, donated goods, and throw away goods (three groups).  Direct them to rooms that will need there attendance.  In each room, there should be three piles or areas of goods sorted.  You might want to mark off those areas and post signs.
2.  Help sort what you are keeping and assign tasks to first group of helpers.
3.  Place items in separate area that are being donated and instruct helpers (second group) on what to look out for. If it helps, have them bag and mark all items as they go and move them out immediately before you change your mind. (Note: If someone is computer or app savvy you can have that person group like new items for sell online.)
4.  Items you no longer need, assign tasks to helpers (third group).  Have them make calls if necessary for someone to come and haul them away and/or bag them up for trash day.

5.  You will need to have some idea how you will organize the things you plan on keeping.  Once they are done helping you sort, instruct them on where things are going and also listen for input.  Your workers can help you immensely when you have no clue what to do next.
6.  Map out the area and discuss where furniture will be placed, needed organizational tools (like bins, shelf units, racks, etc.), and decorating with assistants.
7.  Take a photo before and then when the rooms are complete after.
8.  Always keep in mind that you may have to reorganize some things in order to get the most use out of them.  So in your mind, you should be thinking what you want readily available and what is okay to be stored away and out of view.
