Following ThroughCongratulations: The toughest part is done, and it's time to sit back and marvel at your newly flotsam-free space. But before you get too comfy, keep in mind these guidelines to ensure that it stays that way:• Give yourself time to get used to the new process. It may not feel natural at first, and that's okay. Just stick with it until it becomes routine. If weeks go by and you're still struggling, call the organizer to troubleshoot.• Don't beat yourself up for slipping back into old habits. It's inevitable: Sooner or later, your carefully orchestrated system is going to miss a few beats. Mail will pile up on the hall table. Hats and scarves will blanket the mudroom floor. It's okay. Take a deep breath, then take stock. Does the problem simply lie in a lack of discipline, or has it been an unusually busy month? Or is the scheme not working as well for you as you'd hoped? If necessary, the pro can help you fine-tune the process. And some are even happy to schedule regular "checkup" calls or visits in order to keep your home at its well-organized peak.More: Find a closet organizerNext: Clearing Clutter 101Working With a Home StagerHomeowner's Workbook: How To Remodel Your KitchenDecorate With Intention: Create a Vision For Your Home
