Welcome to the Organized 365 Podcast. My name is Lisa Woodruff and I'm a professional

organizer and blogger in Cincinnati, Ohio. I want to help you get your home

organized and help you organize life stages and unexpected events.

So sit back, relax, and let's get organized.

Today on the podcast I want to talk to you about organizing sports.

Now this is going to be relevant for anyone, a five-year-old child, a 70-year-old male, anybody who does any kind of

sports will get good information out of this podcast. But as usual, I'm not going to talk about, you know, organizing sports as in buying a lot of different

organizers for your sporting objects that you're storing at home.

I want to talk more about globally organizing your sporting activities.

I should probably preface this by saying that I do very little sports.

So it's usually why I don't talk about sports very much. But I know that sports are a big deal and exercise in general for most families.

So I'm going to take you through eight different steps to organize each of the different activities that you and your family

members do. So step one is to get a designated bag for every single sport and person.

So for some families, this is going to be a lot of bags.

For others, it is not. Now why this is so important is that if you

don't have a container to put the uniform, the athletic equipment that you need for practice, for games, for your hobbies,

then what happens is these items end up being everywhere in the laundrom, in the car, in the car in the house in people's bedrooms in the

basement outside they just end up everywhere because they don't have a home and

the reason why I say that you should have a bag for every single

sport that you do is because almost always, almost always, Sports involve leaving the house. Even if you go for a walk around

your neighborhood, every time I take my dog on the walk, I need to remember that we have his

leash, poop bags, my earphones, a water bottle.
