Take the heart of your kitchen from chaos to calm. Deep breaths: It’s time to clean your pantry. We promise the process isn’t as stressful as you think. It may even be – dare we say it – fun.

Get everything off the floor. “This helps to avoid tripping,” says Nicole Gabai, a certified professional virtual organizer. Store spices in a drawer. No more spices scattered across a random shelf. “Most spices are too small and easy to lose in a pantry space,” says Bloomer. “I always recommend storing spices either in a drawer or a Lazy Susan, near a cooktop or stove so they are easy to access and use before their expiration date.” Read more on Today.com >

Home organization is important, but it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Where to start? How to start? Experts recommend focusing on one project at a time, and tidying up a bathroom closet is an ideal bite-sized project with immediate benefits.

If you have deep shelves, be careful about lining up too many items. “When organizing your items in the closet, remember to keep everything toward the front of the shelf to avoid waste and avoid losing items in the back,” says Certified Virtual Organizing Professional Nicole Gabai.

The pantry, especially when full, is easily one of the most challenging spots in the home to keep organized. Create zones using this simple system: as part of The Gabai Principles that Nicole Gabai, founder of B. Organized and author of The Art of Organizing: An Artful Guide to an Organized Life, created, she suggests prioritizing frequently used items and keeping them in Zone 1, the most accessible area. Then items you don’t use as often should go into zones 2 or 3. “So, in a pantry, place the most-used items at eye level with the less frequently used zone 2 items higher up,” she explains. Deep pull-out shelves are helpful for sorting items, but when that’s not possible, Gabai suggests opting for side-by-size open boxes to create categories of food. Read more on Woman’s World >

A well-organized closet is beneficial in many ways. Your closet should be divided into different sections and zones, according to Nicole Gabai, a professional organizer, founder of B. Organized, and the author of The Art of Organizing: An Artful Guide to an Organized Life.

“In sectional organizing, each room is divided into areas corresponding to a given activity,” she says. In terms of your closet, that means grouping like items (like activewear or formal wear) together so that you can more easily choose from your collection when it’s time to get dressed. Gabai says it’s important to prioritize the things you use often, putting them in the most easy-to-access place. That means if you spend your week wearing business casual, those items should be front and center, and your less frequently used items should get pushed to the back. Read more on Martha Stewart >

Everyone has seen lists of what not to do when packing for a move in general. But what about packing individual boxes? You can make so many mistakes when packing each specific box, whether it’s for books, shoes, fragile items, or something else.

Cardboard boxes are the most-used moving box, but they’re not always the best. “One mistake people make when packing is using a regular cardboard box for a box that won’t get opened for a while,” says Nicole Gabai, founder of B. Organized. “If your box has something fabric in it, and it will be going in the garage for a while, don’t use a cardboard box.” Read more on Apartment Therapy >
