5 SIMPLE HABITS TO KEEP YOUR HOME ORGANIZED EVERYDAY
Does having an organized home overwhelm you? Or maybe it sounds like a dream but you have convinced yourself that you don’t have the skillset to achieve or maintain such a goal.. if you are one of these people I have great news for you, it really can be simple!
Once you take the time to organize a space in your home, you can easily keep it up by following just a few daily steps:
MAKE YOUR BED- just like Mom always said, “Make that bed!” It may seem small, but taking the time to do things like make your bed, pick those socks up off the floor and hang your towel on the appropriate hook makes your room look tidy and leaves less to pick up later.
1 IN, 1 OUT RULE- one thing most all of us can fall victim to is clutter. It is so easy over the years to accumulate much more than we need. The best way to combat this is by getting rid of the old as we purchase the new!
SPEND 10 MINUTES A NIGHT TIDYING UP- taking just 10 minutes a day to pick things up and put them in their respective places will save you hours in the long run! Put on your favorite song or podcast and tidy up before bed to make your mornings more peaceful.
DECLUTTER HIGH TRAFFIC AREAS EACH WEEKEND- find the areas of your home that seem to become the most cluttered. This would likely be the drop zone area when you enter the house or maybe a certain counter in your kitchen. Take time to put those shoes back into their space in the closet and file those papers or recycle what you don’t need. This will allow you to start each week fresh!
FIND A “HOME” FOR EVERYTHING- one of the biggest keys to maintaining an organized household is to find a place for everything. This can take time, but once you’ve established a home for all of your things it makes the clean up process so much easier!
