讓生活井井有條的七個整理小貼士
New years inspire us to get organized, but we often fall short of our lofty goals because we forget that January can be just as busy as other months of the year. This year can be different. Even if you only have 15 minutes a day, these 7 tips will help you start the year off right.
新年激發我們將所有東西都安排得井然有序，但我們經常都會無法實現我們的“宏偉”目標，因爲我們忘記了，我們在一月會和一年中的其他月份一樣忙碌。不過今年會大不相同，即使你每天只有15 分鐘的時間，這七個貼士也能幫助你在今年有一個良好的開端。
Office Start at one area in your office and make your way around the room. Sort loose papers into piles: file, shred, and recycle. 辦公室 從辦公室的一個區域開始，一點一點打掃整個辦公室。將散頁分類整理成堆：“文件”、“廢物”以及“回收利用”。
Closet
If you haven’t worn it in the last year, move it out of the closet. Sort by destination: giveaway, resale shop, and keepsake.
衣櫃 如果某件衣服你去年沒有穿，就將它移出衣櫃。按它的去處分類：“送人”、“送到二手店”、或是“留作紀念”。
Pantry
Sort into three piles: keep (have intention to do something with it); giveaway (canned or packaged goods that have not exceeded their expiration dates, but that you have no intention to use in the near future); and toss (items that have exceeded expiration dates, or opened goods that you have no intention to use). Clean shelves and keep dry. Restock the “keep” pile; make a list of things you need to replace on your next trip to the market.
食品櫃 按類別分成三堆：“保存”( 打算用它做些什麼)、“送人”( 沒有超過保質期的罐裝或包裝產品，但短期內你也不打算用它)、“扔掉”( 過了保質期的產品，或不打算用的打開了包裝的產品)。打掃擱板，保持乾燥。重新爲“保存”堆補貨，列一個你下次去市場時需要買的東西的清單。
Digital Desktop
Your computer needs to be organized just like the rooms of your home. Move every item on your computer’s desktop into folders on your hard drive. Typically, you shouldn’t need more than five folders on your desktop for files you use regularly.
電腦桌面 就像你的屋子要保持整潔一樣，你的電腦也需要井然有序。將電腦桌面上每個圖標都移入硬盤文件夾。通常，你電腦桌面上用來放置常用文件的文件夾應該不超過五個。
Entry
Your entry is the first place clutter piles up. It’s also the first space you (and your guests) see upon arrival. Resist the urge to drop whatever you’ve brought in (purse, mail, shopping bags, keys) on the closest surface to your front door. Have an organized system: a spot for keys, a rack for coats and handbags, and a letter box for incoming and outgoing mail.
玄關 玄關是第一個堆滿雜物的地方，也是你( 和你的客人) 一進門第一眼看到的地方。剋制自己想要把帶進屋的任何東西( 錢包、郵件、購物袋、鑰匙) 都丟在靠正門的櫃子上的衝動。你需要有一個有序的分類：一個放鑰匙的地方、一個掛外套和手提包的架子以及一個裝收發郵件的信箱。
Maintenance
Organizing doesn’t have to consume a whole weekend. Spend 15 minutes at the end of the day sorting mail, clearing tabletops, and folding laundry, and chores won’t seem so overwhelming.
保持 整理並不一定要花費整個週末。每天晚上用15 分鐘的時間整理郵件、擦桌子、疊衣服，家務事看起來就不會那麼令人頭疼了。
Make it fun
Put on some music, light an aromatic candle, and use a softly fragrant cleaning spray. Seriously, it’ll make you want to clean more.
讓整理變得有趣 放點音樂，點根香薰蠟燭，使用一種帶有輕柔芳香的清潔噴劑。說真的，這會讓你想要繼續打掃。
