LAZY BUT ORGANIZED EASY TIPS FOR A TIDIER HOME
Furniture littered with loose knickknacks. Closet shelves devoid of folded clothing. A labyrinthine refrigerator stuffed with an assortment of food and drink, seemingly stocked by a madman. These are the marks of a house in dire need of organization. We always tell ourselves we will get to these things eventually, but we never do. But what if there were a way to make this laborious process seem effortless and natural? Combat laziness and procrastination with these easy organization tips! ONE THING AT A TIME When the task ahead seems too large to complete, it may seem like the easiest course of action is not to attempt it. However, there is a simple solution to this problem — focus your efforts on one area at a time. Whether it’s your messy kitchen after cooking a big family dinner or a cluttered living room after a gameday gathering, start in one place and don’t stop until that area is clean. Working room by room makes cleaning your home much more manageable. START THE CLOCK If you are struggling to organize your place, it can help to set aside some time on your calendar. Schedule time every day just for cleaning up, which can help you prioritize. Better yet, set a timer for yourself on your phone: No messing around until you’ve spent at least an hour organizing!
PLANNED FOR CONVENIENCE Everyone has a morning routine. Whatever yours is, a simple organization solution can hurry it along. Something as simple as a drawer or a storage container to keep all your toiletries in one convenient place can help you get your day started more efficiently.
