Quick Organizing Projects  | |  10 Organizing Projects You Can Complete in 10 Minutes
You can get organized, even if you're pressed for time. Here are 10 organizing projects you can complete in 10 minutes or less.
1. Weed out 10 file folders. Dedicate 1 minute per folder and recycle any papers you no longer need.
2. Pick through a junk drawer. Set a timer for 10 minutes, grab a garbage bag, open the junk drawer, pick through anything no longer needed and toss it in the garbage.
3. Make a donation bag. Go through your clothes closet and choose 5 articles of clothing you never wear. Put them in a donation bag to be given to your favorite charity.
4. Corral toys. Walk around your home for 10 minutes with a hamper (or have your kids do this) and put any stray toys into the hamper. Tomorrow, make your 10-minute organizing project to put all the toys back in their proper homes.
5. Write out your greeting cards. Write out all of your birthday, anniversary and other greeting cards for one month. Address them, stamp them and send them out.
6. Pay a few bills. If you dread spending an entire hour each time you have to pay your bills, just take 10 minutes each day to do this task instead. Leave your bill paying supplies out and available, so you could pay the bills as you get them without having to take all of your supplies out each time.
7. Make an appointment. Whether you've been meaning to make an appointment with a doctor, your accountant, a repairman or a friend, take 10 minutes now to do so.
8. Delete some email. Spend 10 minutes deleting any email you no longer need from your inbox.
9. Clear off a surface. Whether the surface is a table, a dresser, a desk or an ottoman, remove any clutter so you can actually see the surface again. File any papers needing filing, return any stray items to their rightful homes and toss any junk.
10. Clean out your medicine cabinet. Toss old makeup you never use, expired prescriptions and anything else you don't need. Save your valued space for the things you actually use.

| | | | | | 11.  KrisNY (7347) | 3 years ago |  These are great tips- I am going to try to work on a couple of these- and think if it works all that I will accomplish in 10 minutes a day- I'm going to start right here at work- Right now you can hardly see my desk- It has piles and piles of paper on it- Things to be filed, things to be done- all sorted by deadlines- fun fun... I'm going to go through again and sort by file- to do- almost done- waiting on someone else- etc. and request help of my co-worker to get a move-on with it- Gotta love a busy job-! I also hate to waste time paying bills at home- I think I'll try the pay a couple at a time- I also think I'll set up a station at home- stamps- pens- envelopes- address labels- and throw my bills there- that way everything will be at my fingertips when I'm ready!

| | | 12. derek_a (5077) | 3 years ago |  Very true. A small amount of time spent each day on cleaning out the junk, will save a lot of problems if not done. Good post:-)

| | 13.  keda69 (2123) | 3 years ago |  These are really nice. I am a organizing freak so I can currently apply none of these as they are already in place, but I think it is very good advice.
Personally I spring clean at least 2x every year. I have very specific areas for very specific things with 2 areas for general stuff that will be put away later. My medicine cabinet is very sparse as I do not take any type of medicine and I clean it out at least once a month.

| | | 15. book1962 (14532) | 3 years ago |  Hi Teresa these are great hints for messier people like myself. The #9 Clear off a surface really sounds like a good advice as in my room I have a hard time keeping the surfaces visible.......

| | | 16. EveRose (12) | 3 years ago |  One thing that helped me was to get my email inbox in order. I hated signing in and seeing 200 messages or something crazy, expecially if I needed to find travel itinerary or my login and password!
I use Yahoo!, so I came up with a system for my personalized folders. I was so excited I even wrote about it here: associatedcontent[dot]com/article/284762/keep_your_yahoo_email_organized_make[dot]html
Knowing how to implement and use my own email folders has been such a time saver, seriously. I even used it today when I was looking for my mylot.com signin. When you're forgetful like me you need lots of systems!

| How organized are you?
I can say sadly that I am not organized at all. We have a small house, too many people, too much... | |
