Everyone wants their lives and their homes to be more organized
and easier to manage. In today's society there are dozens of reasons why
we all get sidetracked, disorganized and stressed out. By keeping up
with a few simple tasks each day you can get your home back on track and
minimize your stress due to a cluttered and un-organized home.
Start With A Clean Sink
The best advice anyone ever gave me to keep my home organized and keep my stress levels down, was to clean my sink. Every night before bed I make sure that my sink is clean. You might think this is a small silly task that has no real value to you but I assure you that you will feel better when you wake up to a kitchen that doesn't have dishes hanging out in the sink to be cleaned or put away. It's a small task, it never takes more than 15 minutes and it is an incredible stress reliever. So for the sake of your sanity, go clean your sink!
A Little At A Time
Another tip you can use in any room in the house is to organize one drawer or shelf each day. Really this shouldn't take long. Clear the clutter, toss the trash, donate the things you not longer use and place things neatly back in their place. I always use a timer for tasks like this. I set it for 15 minutes and then I get to work. I never takes longer than 15 minutes.
15 minutes is all you need to get your home organized. You read that right, just 15 minutes of work on a regular basis can get your home organized and clean. Take a timer and set it for 15 minutes and then start in an area of your home that needs help. Once the timer goes off, stop. Don't worry if it isn't perfect yet, just stop and move on with your day. You can come back later for another 15 minutes when you have time.
Out With The Old
If you are like many other people your kitchen and your closets are probably the areas that needs the most help. These areas accumulate a lot of stuff. One way to help organize your kitchen, closet or other problem area is to go in and toss something once a day. Most people have something that can go, things you don't use, broken things, old food. Just pick up something that doesn't need to be there and get it out of your house either with the trash or by donating it to someone who could use it.
By doing these few simple things you will find your house to be a more peaceful, organized, inviting environment in no time.
