Keeping your home organized:

  • If a job takes around 30 seconds or less to do, do it immediately: put away your shoes or sort your mail.
  • Watch your ‘hot spots’. Clutter tends to accumulate in the same places:the front door, the kitchen table.
  • When you take something out, you should simply put it back.
  • Stop receiving junk mail:to cut down on paper clutter is to get rid of the junk before it comes in.
  • Put on some music and take 15 minutes a day, to clean.
