Organizing ABC's - M is for Maintenance

Wooo who!  Officially over halfway through the #SSSVEDA challenge and today we are talking M is for Maintenance when it comes to your organizing projects.

One of my very favorite organizing books is "Organizing from the Inside Out" by Julie Morgenstern (which you can find here http://amzn.to/2vEOqSb and yes, this is an Amazon affiliate link).  I utilize her SPACE formula for organizing with nearly every client I see.  It is as follows:

S - Sort out items
P - Purge what you don't need
A - Assign a space for what remains
C- Contain those items
E-  Equalize, maintain and revisit as needed

Today we are focusing on that last step...equalize.  I see friends and clients that get super excited about the organizing part but they forget that it isn't over when everything is put away.  The most successful organizing projects are ones where you are continually resetting and reevaluating your project to make sure it is helping you live your most simplified and efficient life.
