5 Ways To Organize Your Bag Or Purse

Face it - if you're like most women, you've probably got way more in your bag or purse than you really need. It's easy for us to collect and add things to our bags because we usually always have them on hand - but the clutter, disorganization, and weight can actually cause more stress than good. I'd like to share some ideas that will help you clear out the clutter and get your bag, tote, purse, or clutch organized in no time... and you might even be surprised at what you find along the way!

1) Start from scratch. Empty out the contents of your bag on to a table top. Just pile it up! Then, wipe our even vacuum out your bag to give yourself a clean slate.

2) Organize everything you have into sections: makeup, personal care, business cards and documents, wallet and finances, medications, and an 'etc.' pile. Take some time to figure out what you really need. I mean really need! Put everything you don't need into its own pile.

3) Use cloth bags, coin purses, plastic seal bags, or old mint tins to create compartments. Keep a few paper clips on hand to keep any loose papers in a nice bundle. Keep your personal care, hygiene, and health items in a dollar store pencil box or a cloth bag to keep them clean. Keep makeup in a plastic zip tight bag just in case a spill ever happens.

4) Give yourself permission to use your glove box, office drawers, and home drawers better. A lot of the clutter in your bag can be stored elsewhere. Use your glove box and office drawers at work to store backup medications, hygiene items, spot removers, and other necessities instead of keeping it all in your bag.

5) Make it a habit to do this process once every 3-4 months. You'll be glad you did!
