15 Minute Organizing Tips for Fall: Part II
In Part I of our 15 minute organizing tips, we shared ways you can tackle organizing key areas in your home like the kitchen and pantry, and closets and storage. Now we’re back with Part II, where we’ll focus on the hidden clutter that is often overlooked, but impacts our daily life more than we realize.
These simple tricks take only a few minutes, but can free up valuable space and time, reduce stress, and help you feel more grounded as the busy season begins.
TECHNOLOGY
Tech is the one type of clutter that hides in plain sight.
Do a tech edit. Go through chargers, cables, and outdated devices. Recycle or trade them at retailers like Best Buy, and gain back valuable drawer space.
Organize cords. Tidy up hanging and tangled cords by wrapping or tying them for an instant refresh of any space.
Toss packaging. All those boxes from tech items aren’t worth the space they take up. Toss out the old iPhone box (trust us, you don’t need it) and make space before the holiday shopping season begins.
DAILY ROUTINE
Shorter days and busier schedules call for set routines and systems. A few simple changes can really help make life run more smoothly.
Set up a paper inbox. With an increase of paperwork—school forms, mail, and more—organize it all in a tray or basket. This way, you can easily clear it out at the end of the week to start fresh for the next.
Tidy the Junk Drawer
We all have a catchall drawer where everything quickly piles up. Take a few minutes to take everything out to sort and toss items you aren’t using, and move things you don’t need access to on a daily basis. Bonus tip: invest in drawer organizers to give items a home.
Establish a night reset. Create a night routine for calmer mornings. Wipe down counters, pack lunches, set out clothes, charge your devices, prep your coffee maker, any tasks that can happen in advance to set yourself up for success the next day.
By taking just a few minutes here and there with these tips, you can create a home and life that feels lighter, calmer, and ready for the season ahead. Fall is about slowing down, enjoying cozy and relaxed nights, and spending time with loved ones—simple organizational changes can really make a difference and create space for what matters most.
