Your purse reflects you and organising it can also reflect your lifestyle, while the first time organising your purse may be a hassle, next time it’ll be much easier. For instance carrying a designer bag indicates your eye for fashion and also indicates the fact that you love indulging in luxury. Carrying a backpack means you like having your hands free and also need a lot of stuff to carry.  

Everyday items
Which items do you carry with you every day? These are the items that will always be inside your purse and are items such as keys, purse (for money) and phone. Your other essentials can range from items such as a water bottle to your lip balm.

Other Items
Items such as letters and books class as ‘other items.’ These are the items that range from day to day and which you could do without.

Empty
Now you’ve organised the purse mentally, star organising it physically. Take everything out of your purse and order them into the categories above. Here you can then see the items that you do not really need and take them out, for instance you may not need a book so you can keep that to the side. Remove all the other items that you do not need and place them to another side.

Now, start only putting in the items that you need for everyday and then put in the items you need for that day (or the next day if you are planning to take it out then). Make sure you put them in neatly in your bag so you can find it.

Everyday
Your daily essentials can change from day to day, so make sure to take out the items that you do not need for the next day, this will help keep your bag light and organised. To help keep it this way, every night you can pack your purse for the items you need so you do not forget in the rush of the next morning.

Help
You can purchase different items to help you find everything in your bag such as a bag organiser, this will help you organise everything in your bag and find it quickly and easily when you want to. This also means that you can change bags by just changing the organiser from bag to bag. It is great for those who want an ultra neat purse and also for those who are always losing items inside their bag!
