National Get Organized Month: Kick Off the Year with a Home Reset
January is National Get Organized Month, and there’s no better time to refresh your home and reset your routines. After the busy holiday season, many of us are left with extra clutter, overflowing storage areas, and spaces that no longer feel calm or functional. The start of a new year offers the perfect opportunity to realign your home with how you want to live in the months ahead.
At MACMOM Organizing, we believe organization isn’t about perfection—it’s about creating systems that support your lifestyle and bring ease to your everyday life. A home reset in January sets the tone for a more peaceful, productive year.
Why January Is the Perfect Time to Get Organized
The new year naturally inspires fresh starts. With decorations packed away and routines beginning to settle, it’s easier to see what’s working in your home—and what isn’t. Organizing now helps you:
Reduce stress and decision fatigue
Save time during busy mornings and evenings
Create spaces that feel lighter and more intentional
Build habits that last all year long
When your home feels organized, everything else tends to flow more smoothly.
Step 1: Start with a Gentle Declutter
Begin by letting go of items you no longer need, use, or love. Focus on one area at a time—closets, kitchen drawers, entryways, or playrooms. Ask yourself:
Do I use this regularly?
Does it serve my current lifestyle?
Would I buy this again today?
Decluttering creates the foundation for lasting organization and makes it easier to put systems in place that actually work.
Step 2: Reset High-Traffic Spaces
Pay special attention to the areas you use most:
Entryways: Create simple systems for coats, shoes, and bags.
Kitchens & Pantries: Group items by category and clear countertops.
Bedrooms: Refresh closets and simplify nightstands.
Living Spaces: Designate homes for everyday items to reduce visual clutter.
Small changes in these spaces can have a big impact on how your home feels day to day.
Step 3: Create Simple, Sustainable Systems
Organization should be easy to maintain. Use bins, baskets, labels, and drawer dividers to give everything a clear home. The goal isn’t to organize once—it’s to create systems that make tidying up quick and intuitive for everyone in the household.
Step 4: Set Realistic Organizing Goals
Instead of trying to do everything at once, set small, achievable goals. Tackle one room per week or schedule 15–30 minute organizing sessions a few times a week. Progress, not perfection, is what leads to long-term success.
