Previously, according to get "Keiko's organizing lesson" summarized the organizing technique, a brief summary of the four steps of organizing:
Classification - disposable concentration - selection and sorting - disposal
Five principles of sorting things:
One year, one year, one year, one year.
Sorting five principles:
A year did not use; do not need; uncomfortable; unsuitable; no longer heart, do not like.
(Handle things do not feel free to send others, to respect whether others need)
How to organize the family's things? What about the expensive but useless things that you can't throw away? What about those souvenirs that are full of memories? If you throw them away, what if you don't have them in case you want to use them in the future? The answers to these questions go to the previous article to find the answer!
The art of organizing that everyone can learn (above)
After you're done organizing, it's time to put it away!
We see all sorts of organizing tips all the time, and they look great, but they don't always work so well, so why?
The method of organizing can be uniform, but the storage method is very different, everyone needs to find the most suitable for their own storage style. So the question is, how do you determine your test style?
Two small actions, observe their most accustomed, intuitive favorite action.
Action:
1, hands clasped, fingers crossed, observe the two thumbs cross cross grip, the left thumb under, or the right hand?
2, arms around the chest, one hand from the other elbow below the pull out, to confirm that the pull out is the left hand or the right hand?
These two actions roughly categorize the public into four types
Habit of order and repetition, categorization of storage focus on thinking about function and frequency. This type of people like to apply lists & labels, the simpler and clearer the appearance of storage, the better.
Blind area: these people have a poor sense of space grasp, the larger the empty space is more difficult to grasp, the need to use furniture or tools to divide the space, division.
These people are full of inspiration, strong intuition, good at image memory. They are the opposite of the left-left type of people, have a good sense of space, storage things will not be very detailed, just roughly categorized, you can quickly take quick access.
Blind spot: Because these people rely on intuition, it is difficult to put things in their original place, and you need to rely on visual aesthetics to mobilize motivation when storing.
Strong in action, but not rigid, do not like to copy and do, accustomed to absorb and then form their own style to implement. They will regularly adjust the way of storage, and constantly upgrade and improve.
Blind spot: things are easy to be forgotten after being stored out of sight. Therefore, these people need to open the storage, or mark the notes in time to facilitate memory.
Strong hands-on ability, stubborn perfectionists, value the sense of space, and like to categorize things according to their shape and function.
Blind spot: difficult to choose things, hard to choose, need beautiful storage supplies.
Personal analysis, the scientific theory of this classification method should come from the utilization of the left and right brain, as we all know, the left brain is good at rationality, logic, analysis, the right brain is good at sensibility, images, vision. Each person's brain development and utilization of different, thinking about different ways of doing things, thus forming a different style of storage.
What if several people with different organizing styles are under the same roof? In principle, the principle of priority in accordance with the storage capacity of the weak people way, followed by the specific circumstances of the merger and improvement of the storage way. For example: a habit of putting things away in a simple appearance of the left-left type + a habit of things out of the fast take fast put the left-right type, then try to buy items in a uniform color to enhance the uniform appearance, placed outside as much as possible in a hidden location.
Understanding their own type of storage style, then we come to the formal discussion of storage. Storage is partly about item management and partly about space planning.
Nowadays, in the modern era of material abundance, a wide variety of goods, cleverly designed packaging of all kinds will increase the difficulty of storage. So we first need to reduce the interference of these items, so that the storage of items more coordinated and unified.
Designers struggle to design a variety of packaging, is to increase the customer's desire to buy. These packages not only take up a lot of space in the storage, but more importantly, increase the visual information interference, making storage more difficult.
Determine the necessary information, all interference with the packaging are removed, and even logos can be removed, you can also choose a unified storage container, not only can unify the style, but also quantify the number of neat appearance.
Artificial by category, color storage classification, active marking classification
Unified storage containers, consider the color and home furnishings with coordination.
1, pay attention to the line of motion:
Line of motion, that is, the route of human movement. Between the storage location of the object and the use of space, consider the shortest moving line.
2, the establishment of storage space:
Whether it is the basement or closet or attic, even a large closet of an area, it is recommended that we can set aside a fixed space to store low-frequency, seasonal items.
3. Confirm the golden area:
The golden position - when standing upright, the position between the knee and the arm raised, pick up the items quickly, no need to squat or climb. This area holds high-frequency items that are often used on a daily basis.
Non-golden position for low-frequency items, above the golden position for lightweight items, and below the golden position for heavy items.
The children's area, taking into account the height of the children, and adjusting their prime position as they grow.
4, pay attention to interpersonal boundaries:
Previously mentioned that when organizing items to respect others, do not easily break through interpersonal boundaries, the same is true for storage. Even if the child's closet is rich and large, do not encroach on the placement of adult clothing.
5, positioning habits:
Adopt the habit of categorizing items and fixing their positions, and try to put them back in their original places, even if they are not in their original places, but also in a fixed range of areas.
6, upright storage:
Whether clothing, books, all kinds of bottles and irrigation, if possible try to put vertical, vertical use of space.
7, pick the right storage supplies:
Whether it is IKEA or MUJI, there are a lot of storage supplies, every time you can not help but pick one or two. A lot of online shoppers list products that are worth buying, so you can pick your own.
Here is what you need to pay attention to: pre-measurement of data, you can plan on paper, make a list, and then go to the field to purchase. I have countless times because I did not measure just estimate the approximate its, buy back to find that the size is not appropriate deserted.
Theory said so much, not landing without implementation of any good method is zero. Maybe someone will say that organizing the storage that is a housewife's thing, the big man does not stick to the smallest detail, I do not know how to argue, but I believe that learning to organize the storage, will only give you an increased halo, a hundred harms and no good. Why not try such a simple good thing?
