Moving or cleaning can be super stressful. No matter what age you are it is good to know how to be organized to help life be less stressful. Here are 5 tips everyone should know on how to make your life less stressful.

Keep a planner.

This is a big one for me, I am that person who can be kind of forgetful and late to things. Keeping a planner helps a lot, you can have a physical planner you can write in or you can just put things on your phone. It helps you keep things on track and keeps you organized so you know when and where things are happening or when stuff is due.

Label things.

I used to think there was no reason to label things but boy was I wrong. When you keep like things together in a container or draw it helps to have a label to know what you are putting where when it comes down to trying to find something.

Organize things by item or color.

This is a big thing with clothes, especially in your closet. For me, I organize everything in my closet by the type of item: dress, business/dress clothes, tub tops, tank tops, short sleeves, long sleeves, then jackets, and sweatshirts. This helps to make things easy when it comes to switching out clothes each season and also knowing where everything in my closet is.

Use storage bins.

I CANNOT preach enough how much of space saver storage bins are. Especially when it comes to having a lot of clothes but not enough drawer space, consider under the bed rolly containers. They are great to put each season's clothes away or to just keep extra sweatshirts or blankets hidden and out of the way. Also using things like the 3 or 5 drawers Sterilite containers is always helpful for organizing the area under your desk or bed or sink.

Get rid of stuff that is taking up space.

One space saver and way to organize things is to just get rid of things. If you haven't touched an item of clothes or accessory or device in over a year it is time to say GOODBYE to it. You don't need things to take up space that can be used for other things.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
