Handbags are one of the most useful organizers for women to keep a number of things handy - right from accessories to stationery. With time, one ends up filling it up with several useless items such as expired cards, wrappers, earrings and what not, turning it into a messy bag. At some point, every girl has been in a situation where they have held up the queue looking for money or a subway ticket at the bottom of a cluttered purse. Every woman strives to master the art of keeping an organized hand bag.
The prospect of organizing your hand bag can be daunting but you need not worry since it can be easily simplified by keeping a few nifty tips and rules in mind.
Start off by emptying your hand bag and sorting its contents into two categories: things that are useful and things to be thrown away such as outdated receipts, candy wrappers, broken hair accessories and notes. Then, sort the remaining items that will stay in your handbag, by use. For instance – separate cosmetics, medicines and toiletries from one another.
Review all the items and decide what is required on a daily basis. The list will possibly include:
A wallet (preferably an RFID blocking wallet) A Cell phone A pair of keys Make up essentials Stationery including a pen and a small diary Important bank cards and club cards Proof of identity After short listing the necessary items, ensure that you leave the rest at home. Once you have sorted through your handbag and have your essentials like your RFID blocking wallet, bank cards and identity proof in order, assign everything a place. Start off by designating a pocket for each frequently used item such as keys, loose change, a cell phone etc. A small card holder can be a blessing in disguise to organize your important bank cards, visiting cards and gift cards in once place. Do not forget to toss out the expired cards. Also, make sure you keep just one pair of sunglasses in your bag. Remember not to keep any unnecessary things such as scarves, earrings or books in your handbag as they will only add to the mess and clutter you are trying to avoid. Without these items, your hand bag will be light and easy to carry, making your life comfortable and well organized.
