<p><span>It is tiresome to clean everything on a single day. Rather c</span>reate daily, weekly and monthly schedules for cleaning, distributing the tasks evenly.</p>

Organize your cleaning schedule


<p>Unread magazines, catalogues and email are just a waste of time, money and space. If you haven't read a single email from a newsletter or other publication, just unsubscribe. </p>

Unsubscribe

<p>Minimize food wastage by labelling all items in your fridge. Include the expiration date.</p>

Label Stored Food

<p>Take note of the places at home or at the office that collect clutter and tidy them up daily.</p>

Keep The Hotspots Clean

<h2><span>Donate all unused books and clothes to a charity or sell them.</span></h2>

Recycle

<p>As an experiment, try to donate or throw out something you don't use before buying something else.</p><p>Alternatively, throw out one unused item every day for a month.</p>

Declutter 

<ul><li>Sort out your clothes, cleaning materials and everything else and keep them in labeled containers or closets at home. </li><li>Organize your work space well so that your every move is conserved, knowing exactly where everything is.</li></ul>
<p>Doing this will take time, but it is easier to find what you need.</p>

Have a designated place for everything

<h2><span>If you want to remember things, don't rely on your memory. Put it in writing or in a digital notebook</span><span>.</span></h2>

Don’t Rely On Your Memory

<ul><li>Make sure to back up your computer files. </li><li>Make duplicates for your car and home keys. </li><li>Scan your IDs, passports and bank details, and put it all in a secured folder on your computer. </li></ul><p>Keep all your financial records, birth certificates, land titles and insurance in one folder, preferably in a safe.</p>

Make Back-Ups Of Everything

<h2><span>Schedule a time every day to de-clutter and to clean up. </span><span> 15 - 30 minutes should be sufficient.</span></h2>
<h2></h2>

Clean Up Regularly

<p><span><b>Use apps to record your monthly accounts and spending.  </b></span></p><p><span>This will help you to know exactly where your money goes. The app can also send notifications to remind</span> you when accounts are due.</p>

Get A Money Management App

<p><span>Practise k</span>eeping your home and life organized by packing things away immediately after using them. It may take a few minutes now but will save more time later.</p>
<h2></h2>

Put Things Away Immediately

<h2><span>Scan all your photos to save space and ensure that you don’t lose these precious memories. </span></h2>

Scan Your Photos

<p>Create a list of responsibilities for each family member. Review the list with them weekly to ensure that all tasks are being attended to. De-cluttering is easier as a team effort.</p>

Learn To Delegate Tasks

<p>Dispose of e<span>xpired canned foods and medicines to minimize the clutter and make space for new supplies.</span></p>

Check Expiration Dates

<p>Create an itemized list of home or office supplies so that you don’t run out. Don't overstock.</p>

Make An Inventory
