- Put Things in Their Place
One of the most organized people are chefs, both in the kitchen and outside the kitchen. The reason they are organized is because they have a place for everything. They have a spot for everything and utensil they use. This helps them conserve space especially when they are in the kitchen, cooking.
Take a clue from chefs, mark out spots for your belongings and important stuffs. This will help you find what you need easily when everything in your place has a home.
- Regular Clean Up
This is one of the best ways to remain organized; cleaning up. Create time (a few minutes) each day to pick up, clean up and declutter stuffs in your room that aren't where they should be.
- Before Buying Something New, Donate or Throw Away Something Old
Before buying something new, try throwing out or dashing out something old you don't use again. If you've got too much stuff in the room, try throwing out one old thing each day until you can not find anything else to throw away. This also helps in the sense that when you throw old stuffs away, the new stuffs you bring in easily gets a place they can be put in without you forcing or thinking where they'll fit in.
- Unsubscribe from Unread Newsletters and Magazines
Unsubscribe from a number of blogs and other newsletters if you do not read the emails from them. You probably do not need any of their content, anyway. And while you're at it, unsubscribe from unread magazines, catalogues and junk mail. They are just waste of money and space, especially if you do not read them.
- Write Things Down

Writing important stuffs like your to-do, some important lists and information helps you remember them quickly even if you've a head injury ☺.
