Step 1: Organization
In order for me to be able to even have the urge to do anything, my zone has to be comfortably clean. When my son and I sit down to do anything, the way that my sorroundings look, really has an effect on how much I can give.
My son’s room right now is very organized but it is very hard to keep it neat and tidy. I’ve gotten a lot of help from my MIL, may Allaah guide her, aameen. His toys are in different sized bins, depending on the toys. Puzzles in one bin, colors and coloring books in another, stuffed animals in a big one etc… He even has his own little bookshelf for his books.
I believe being organized is a task every one of us needs to take on. If we want to study or sit down and just relax, our sorroundings should have a positive effect on us. I can’t enjoy much of my tasks if things are out of place and not as organized as they could be. So it is because of that that I named this post Step 1: Organization. Before you do anything, organize your life.
A few tips for organization:
1. Throw away anything that is in bad shape and probably won’t be fixed.
2. Give away anything that is in good shape to your local Masjid or relatives etc… (If you think you may use it in the future, but aren’t sure, just give it up if it is taking up space.)
3. Buy containers to keep you organized. Laundry baskets work very well for the bigger stuff.
 We put stuffed animals in one, his train pieces in another, blocks in another, etc… There are those with lids that we use for smaller things such as art supplies, puzzle pieces, small blocks, cars or also medicine. 
  You can also buy shelves or racks to put the containers on for even more organization. 
4. Keep those things that are needed on a regular basis closer to reach and those that are needed less frequently such as certain cleaning supplies, in your linen closet or far back in your bedroom closet or under the sink. (I put all of my bathroom cleaning supplies in a small bucket, in the linen closet but far in the back.)
5. Put things away after you are done using them. The first step to a cluttered space is not putting things away immediately. With children who can take their own toys out, rules must be made. Have them take out one or two things at a time and then put them away if they want something else. Applying them ourselves with everything else will help us stay organized, insha’Allaah.
and remember… Cleanliness is a part of Imaan.
