Keeping your home tidy can feel impossible, especially in busy homes with children. Here are some tips to keep your home happy and clean.
Make Sure Everything Has a Place
When organizing your home, be sure that you have a place for everything. If everything has a place, then you won't throw things anywhere when you're not sure where to put them. This will keep your home happy and clear of random things in your way.
Do a Yearly Clean Out
Make a habit of clearing out your home often. Set a yearly time to go through your home and get rid of items that you no longer need or use. There are lots of places that will gladly take your items and resell them for a great price or donate to a charity of your choice.
Have a Spot at Your Door
If clutter must come into your home (as it inevitably does), have a place for it at your door. Keep your junk mail there and go through it regularly. If others live in your home and are habitually leaving items throughout the home in random places when they get home for the day, this can be a place for them to store those items until they need them again.
In with One, Out with Another
Make a rule for yourself. Each time you buy a new item that is not a true necessity, you must get rid of another item. So, before buying an item, ask yourself if you love it enough to make yourself get rid of another item already in your possession.
Organize Smart
There are so many organizing products out there. They are great, but if you get too many of them, you will create clutter with the very items you are buying to keep your clutter under control! Start by organizing with what you already have. Then buy only what you actually have items to go in and space to put them.
Each Day, Quickly Reset Your Home
Develop the habit of taking 10 minutes every day to pick things up, put them away, and tidy up your home. This will make a huge difference in your overall decluttering! I know that looking at a full cluttered home can be overwhelming. So, set a timer and do nothing but tidy up during those 10 minutes. After a couple of weeks of doing this, you will see a huge difference in your home and your mood.
Use Hidden Storage Space
Utilize the small, hidden spaces of your home for the best storage possible. The back side of doors are a great place to store items with over the door hanging storage. Random cubby in a wall? Find a basket to fit the hole and store something for that room in it.
