Start Fresh: How to Get Organized for the New Year with P.S. Nest
The confetti has settled, the resolutions are in motion, and your home might be quietly whispering: help.
If “get organized” made your New Year’s list again (for the third year running), it’s time to do something different. At P.S. Nest, we believe home organization isn’t about perfection—it’s about permission. Permission to breathe easier, to live more intentionally, and to curate a home that reflects your best self.
Before you buy more bins or vow to overhaul your entire house in one weekend, take a breath. Here’s your practical, witty, and totally doable guide to resetting your nest—with pro organizing tips and real-life solutions from the experts at P.S. Nest.
Challenge #1: The “Everything Drawer” That Holds… Everything
The Problem: You know the one—batteries, receipts, rubber bands, and 47 pens that may or may not work.
The P.S. Nest Solution:
Treat your junk drawer as a mini home organization project. Empty it completely, group items by category, and only keep what you truly use.
Pro Organizer Tip: Use small containers, bowls, or recycled candle jars to create zones. And for mystery items? Place them in a “quarantine box.” If you don’t need them after 30 days, they’re out.
SEO Takeaway: Start small. Even a single organized drawer can spark the motivation to declutter your home one space at a time.
Challenge #2: The Closet Time Capsule
The Problem: You have clothes from five eras of your life—and they’re all mingling.
The P.S. Nest Solution:
Instead of the overwhelming “keep or toss,” try curating by season and self. Ask: Would Future Me wear this?
Pro Organizer Tip: Set a timer for 20 minutes and tackle just one section—jeans, shoes, or jackets. Then donate right away. Your “someday outfit” could be someone else’s today confidence.
SEO Takeaway: This is one of the simplest closet organizing ideas that actually sticks—short sessions, clear categories, and guilt-free editing.
Challenge #3: The Countertop Clutter Cycle
The Problem: You clear your counters and somehow, they refill overnight.
The P.S. Nest Solution:
Clutter loves flat surfaces. Create designated “landing zones” for everyday items—keys, mail, earbuds, sunglasses.
Pro Organizer Tip: Give each category a defined home. Use trays, baskets, or bowls that match your décor so your storage solutions blend seamlessly with your style.
SEO Takeaway: The secret to kitchen and home office organization is visual flow—what you see affects how you feel.
Challenge #4: The Paper Avalanche
The Problem: Mail, bills, and notes pile up faster than you can say “unsubscribe.”
The P.S. Nest Solution:
Sort papers into three categories: To Do, To File, and To Toss.
Pro Organizer Tip: Keep a recycling bin right where you open the mail—half of what arrives doesn’t need to enter your home at all.
SEO Takeaway: Going digital and simplifying paper systems are easy ways to declutter your home and reclaim peace of mind.
Challenge #5: The Sentimental Stuff
The Problem: You can’t let go of items that remind you of people, places, or moments—even if they’re taking over your space.
The P.S. Nest Solution:
You’re not discarding memories—you’re curating them. Choose a few treasures to display or archive beautifully, then photograph the rest.
Pro Organizer Tip: Create a labeled “Legacy Box” for keepsakes. Your space should tell the story of who you are now, not who you were 10 years ago.
