How to Stay Organized When Life Gets Busy

How to Stay Organized When Life Gets Busy

We all have seasons where life feels like a tornado — kids' activities, work deadlines, meal planning, appointments…(and don’t even get me started on laundry).

Here’s the truth: you don’t need to do it all perfectly. You just need small, consistent habits that help keep chaos at bay — even during life’s busiest weeks.

Here are a few of our go-to tips:

1. Set a 10-Minute Timer

Pick one area and do a “speed tidy.” Set a timer, turn on your favorite song, and put away as much as you can. You’d be surprised how much you can do in a short burst!

2. Keep a Drop Zone

Designate a basket, hook, or small table near the door for keys, mail, and all the things that usually get dropped on the kitchen counter.

3. Prep the Night Before

Laying out clothes, packing lunches, or resetting your living room or toy room in the evening makes your mornings feel so much smoother.

4. Use Bins & Labels Everywhere

The easier it is to put something away, the more likely you (and your family!) will do it. Labels are a game changer — they take the guesswork out of where things go.

5. Give Yourself Grace

Sometimes the laundry piles up. Sometimes the counter gets messy. That’s okay! Staying organized isn’t about perfection — it’s about creating rhythms that work for you.
