Getting organized is difficult especially in a San Diego Coastal Home where there are kids or teenagers, or where family members all have busy schedules.

Here are some tips on how to get your San Diego Coastal Home to run smoothly:

1. Hang two set of house and car keys in a place you can easily monitor them in order to always know where your family members are.

2. Keep a small basket in your closet or laundry room for unmatched hose and socks. The partners usually reappear.

3. Use a plastic cutlery tray to bring a little organization into your kitchen junk drawer.

4. Examine the medicine cabinet. Remove any expired medicine and store the most frequently used ones in the kitchen where you can keep track of them better.

5. Do one small household chore each evening in order to free up more weekend time. Dust and vacuum one area, clean a bathroom, de-clutter a room or throw in a load of laundry.

6. Toss items that you don't need or use in a box and donate it.

7. Sort the items in the basement or garage of your San Diego Coastal Home by person and make each one responsible for their stuff that is stored there.

8. Place an errand basket by the garage door. Fill it with books to be returned to the library, dry cleaning to be dropped off, etc.

9. Set up a place in your home for small, frequently used items such as tape, scissors, and pens.

10. Categorize your video collection by genre. Get rid of those you no longer watch and have the kids make a list of the rest, storing titles by genre.
