This is something that does not take that much time and makes a huge difference in the way the house looks! Having an almost 1 year old baby who likes to play in different rooms of the house and leaves her little toys everywhere this tip has been very useful!
It is very simple…just before going to bed or after your chores for the day (and after the children are in bed, if you have them) go from room to room and clean up – this can mean picking up the kids toys, fluffing the pillows and ordering the dining table chairs in the living room, folding the bath towels or ordering the toiletries in the bathroom, picking up small things around the house that are out of place and placing them in the right spot! This might take a little longer the first couple of days, but then it becomes much easier if done on a daily basis.
Again, this makes having an organized house much simpler! These days I have been going to bed, waking up and getting home to a fairly organized home and it has allowed me not to stress as much with ordinary house chores and to spend more time with my baby girl. I still have to take care of things when I get home, specially preparing her meals, but at least things aren’t as messy. This also makes weekends a bit lighter – not as much to organize and clean up…. But more on that the next tip!
We should be doing the same everyday with our hearts and souls! At the end of the day, when we have done all we had to do and all that is left is to rest and go to sleep, we should take 10 minutes to go over our hearts and souls and check if there is something misplaced, that needs to be cleaned up or moved to another room! We need to get our thoughts and feelings in order every day, otherwise, after some time all we have is a tangled mass of cords that will take way too much time and effort to untangle!
